Review by cseabhi

Aspirants

9/10

A Heartfelt, honest and totally relatable Web Series

"Aspirants" is a heartfelt web series that delves into the lives of UPSC aspirants, showcasing their struggles, aspirations, and the emotional roller coaster of preparing for one of India's toughest exams. Having lived in Old Rajendra Nagar as a resident for over 3 years, I can vouch for the hardworking, dedication, and commitment of these IAS aspirants. This place surely isn't an easy one to survive, but it does reward you for your perseverance.

The series revolves around the lives of three friends who come from different backgrounds but share a common dream of becoming IAS. Everyone who is struggling to settle in their lives and studying hard can totally relate to it. The writing is exceptional, bringing out the nuances of their characters and the challenges they face with authenticity and depth. The anxiety, insecurities, and little joys of life have been brilliantly framed.

What sets "Aspirants" apart is its ability to evoke a range of emotions. From moments of triumph to heartbreaking setbacks, the series tugs at your heartstrings. The performances are outstanding, with the actors immersing themselves in their roles and delivering powerful portrayals. This story not only belongs to UPSC aspirants but also resonates with every aspirant of competitive exams in central and state levels.

The cinematography and music further enhance the storytelling, creating an immersive experience for the viewers. The pacing of the series is well-balanced, keeping you engaged and invested in the characters' journeys. The dialogue "Final attempt nahi nikala. Palat ke dekhoge Zindagi ka 6 sal gayab. Self-confidence jamin ke niche ghusa hua hota hai" brings tears to your eyes, capturing the essence of the struggles these aspirants face.
