Anthony

I binged watched this over the weekend and I enjoyed it. After a long time, AAONXT has come with a series which is close to the national standard. Every actor played their part well. All the side acts and stories are well knitted into the theme of this thriller.

The screenplay is quite tightly written and keeps you hooked throughout. Acting overall is superb. Manoj Mishra especially does an amazing job and gives a fantastic performance. Casting has been great and the supporting actors also play their roles quite effectively. I really enjoyed some plot twists and they have given me goosebumps.

Anthony is one of the best series coming out of Odisha at these times. Taking up from a socially relevant topic & meandering through multiple juxtapositions with a suspense heightened above tension is what makes Anthony a binge-worthy endpoint. Some of the breathtaking visual effects with supernatural backdrop is what making Anthony stand apart from the league of recent Odia series/ films. I watched it without any expectation and when I ended up, I couldn't think off as it is coming out from Odisha. I was keenly willing for some more episodes as I was totally engrossed in the series The watch was spectacular with nicely available subtitles for non-Odia audience. Come, watch & explore Anthony. The name has many connotations and as a audience its a roller-coaster ride with a thumping finale.

This particular series is worth watching just for the genre it plays with. Supernatural-thriller is what makes the genre more and more engrossing from the first few minutes itself. It's true to its genre and some elements of crime and stuff floats around.

Also worth mentioning the title sequence graphics. The guy who did it deserves a bow satiated by a strong effective BGS. Manoj Mishra is a well-known face in Odia and some other faces such as Bikash Das, Jayprakash Das. Sonali Sharmistha is awesome given her past screen presence in Delhi Crime and nailed it totally in the gory scene at the end of the series. Kudos to Biren Jyoti Mohanty for his take after the editing stint at Mumbai. But left many loose ends which should be tied in the second season, if planned. This series was really a need of hour for Odia cinema industry as it has set new benchmarks and standards.

Vfx could've been much better, but one scene was cut out very well. The mirror scenes were breathtaking to watch. It took the hype to an immense level. The producer has given the much needed effort and creative actions which brings the series stand in the forefront.

An Original concept by Producer Kaushik Das. Well fleshed out screenplay. Tremendous performance by the entire cast. Brilliant characters arch. Wonderful Direction, Cinematography, Editing and DI. The most highlighting point is the BGM and Music.

Special mention as cast Manoj Mishra, Partha Sarathi Ray, Choudhury Bikas Das and Choudhury Jayprakash Das. The cherry on the top is Sonali Sharmistha. She is the surprise pack with a powerful performance.

Director Birenjyoti Mohanty, DOP Yudhisthira and Music Director Kisaloy Roy need special mention.

The open ending at the last is keeping the suspense strong for Seasonality.

A first of its kind Webseries from Odisha for the world, which will make every Odia proud.
