After the release of 2007 classic Mad_e in Bangladesh, Mostafa Sarwar Farooki decided to explore the theme (political satire) a little more and came up with this visually appealing and gripping mini series about two con men who gain everything through politics only to lose it all. Told in an unusually simple manner and most origianal way possible, and with the characteristic humour, Farooki & his team of brilliant actors create a reflection of the the true picture of vandalism that goes in the name of 'politics' in Bangladesh.

At the end, Farooki adds a note on 'the freedom of a single woman in Dakha & it's impact on the so called conservative mindset prevailing in soceity' and stretches this concept further to make his next feature film, Third Person Singular Number, starring the ever gorgeous Tisha.

This series doesn't feel fake for a moment. Everything that happens in dirty politics is portrayed brilliantly with a cinematic touch! The Power struggle, The Uprising and eventual betrayals. Amazing! Underrated gem.

Bit disappointed for the ending though, felt rushed.

It won't be wrong if I called this series as a masterpiece. Lutfur Rahman George & Mosarraf Karim steal the show and create a legacy. Nobody can be Kislu or Montu again for sure.

Arguably the best work by the director Mostafa Sarwar Farooki. It was never easy to take an attempt to make a political TV Series in Bangladesh. He is the first one who did this and shows the dark side through the comedy. It was brilliant.

I remember back in 2008/2009, people use to watch this series again and again and nobody even find it boring. Totally unpredictable series and this is the strength of this series. Because of unpredictability, so many people didn't want the ending happened that way. But i know, because of that ending, everybody will remember it so long time.

This is one of the best TV Series that I watched. This is one of the best TV Series that I watched. This is one of the best TV Series that I watched. This is one of the best TV Series that I watched.

Not just Mosharraf Karim or Sohel Khan, all the actors and actresses did remarkable work in this series. The way "The Sopranos" depicted the inside and real world, "420" did that too here. It's not just about politics or crime, this series was able to pull out and showcase the psychology and behaviour of human in real world. The director's attention to detail was outstanding. Every cast and crew of this work deserve a standing ovation for their extraordinary performances. The script was amazing and it captured the real world dialogue. I may be out of my bounds to say this, but It's truly oscar standard work here. It's a must watch and good to watch on binge.
