Kafas

Sameer lodaya

The series is based on the English series dark money

The content is new one of accepting money to overlook the crime faced but has been stretched for 6 long episodes series .. the pace of the series is too slow ..actually this could had been a movie..the climax was very cold and was rushed in last episode..

Sharman played a good soft and mature role where others like mona vivaan were just normal

Sorry for the low ratings but we expect a lot from applause as this studio has always given good entertainment

This weekend there are no major releases so one can watch for some timepass.

Kafas is an adaptation of the British tv series Dark Money . Honestly speaking, Kafas had a really intriguing story in hand to show that money can't buy happiness. A family where the son gets sexually abused but the parents upon being offered a huge sum of money, decide to take it in return for keeping quiet on this crime . How it affects the family later is the story .

A good thing about Kafas is that it is not boring. Through several events , it keeps you hooked till the end . However, that doesn't stop you from ignoring the jarring flaws in this series.

Firstly, the transition from middle class to rich class is so abrupt that it almost hits your head like a stone . The transition is just not smooth but sudden . At the end of episode 2, the parents are offered money and right at the beginning of episode 3, boom, they are rich with a big house, big car , new school etc etc like I was in disbelief. Atleast a short sequence showing the transition would have done wonders than harm .

Second, I wanted to highlight the family dynamics. I noticed that just for the sake of making the series interesting, family members seem to initiate fight deliberately. It's ok for internal family fights but it should be presented naturally right!? It seems as if the makers forcefully induce the fights to make things look interesting.

Third, i felt the main criminal should have been presented much better rather than in the obvious cliched way. I felt his lady assistant did a better job in inducing hate, constantly hampering the family's efforts to give their son justice.

The climax again is a bit underwhelming. It would have been nice if the courtroom sequence was shown to us. The series just ends at an accusation point but never really gets to the point where it finally proved the criminal guilty. The point where they get into the court is the point where the series ends which shocked me. Are they planning to keep it for a S2? Lete see.

The best performance was given by Mikhail Gandhi , the boy around whom the series is centred around other than Vivan. Mikhails expressions are spot on. His anger, his helplessness, his tears all are shown by him beautifully. Sharman joshi and mona Singh give decent performances. Tejaswi Ahlawat is another powerhouse in the film acting as the ever supporting sister to Sunny (Mikhail). Vivan is just ok .

Overall, this series is a one time watch . There are many flaws that just can't be overlooked but still i felt it was an interesting watch.

This series is unnecessarily stretched for 6 episodes. Could have been a 3-4 episode series. Dialogue delivery and story is poor. Mature teenage kids are shown like babies doing silly things. First and second episodes are good and create interest but rest of them are too stretched and vague. Sharman Joshi and Vivan acting was good. Last episode was rushed into and nothing could be derived from the story in the end. Consequences in terms of monetary, reputation etc due to legal suit was not shown for both parties. Disappointed as family relations were also not shown in a good way. With kids countering their parents on almost everything.

In this era of social media and quick fame, some parents are forcing their teenage children to the glamour industry where all types of people exist. This web series has exactly portrayed how greedy middle class families can push their children into the toxic glamour industry without understanding the consequences. The web series also shows that it's not only bad for girls, but equally bad for boys. Sharman Joshi and Mona Singh fit to their charecters along with other artists. It's a web series all parents should watch and decide before sending their children to the glamour industry . Kudos to the team and Sony Liv.

This is a wonderful web series touching all topics how a middle class family gets influenced by bollywood and and are then abused. It touches many more topics and all of them with much conviction. This is one of the best series without much abusive language and can be seen with family too. Sharman Joshi is too good. In fact all of them were very natural. It shows how the powerful people keep pressing the normal people with money and their show of power. Ending is too good with a full conviction as to how every parent would deal with the situation. Just a perfect watch. Mona Singh has also acted really well.
