Aar Ya Paar

Aar ya paar is an action series directed by neel guha, glen barretto and ankush mohla.

Aditya rawal has the potential to be a star in the upcoming days. He gave a very good performance here. In the action sequences, he was upto the task. Dibyendu bhattacharya is a hell of an actor and he has given a terrific performance, very clever and oppurtunistic. Patralekha paul was fine, cannot give it full marks. Ashish vidyarthi was the best in my opinion. He was a grey character and he showed various emotions clearly. The other actors were average to decent.

I have a problem with the tone of this film. Some characters were subtle, others were aivayi over the top. The character of kisna and the other tribals looked so over the top to me. Whereas, sarju was so subtle, the other characters were so subtle.

The screenplay too has many flaws. There are some continuity issues, other are due to pacing. 6th episode onwards, the screenwriting seems so rushed and frantic that you cannot have some breathing space, so many things are happening. Its engaging no doubt, but the characters need to be taken along. Sarju and reuben are very well written. Reuben especially is a classic case of grey villain. In the 5th episode, there is one fantastic scene where he just bashes someone's head. Later, he is surprised by whose blood is it on his face. A subtle commentary on rage and how it shapes your mental state. A character whose son despises him, he knows it and lets it happen because he loves the power and the evilry that comes with it. Sarju too is established beautifully.

There are some fantastic oneliner dialogues which are full masala. The creator uses bollywood songs perfectly. He also did it with apharan, he also does it here.

The cinematography is brilliant. In the concluding action scene, there is a brilliant 360 shot. The colour composition is good. The production is on point. The tribals have been designed quite fine.

This is a very good series despite having some flaws. I rate it 8.
