Web series review: Mithya streaming on Zee 5 #sanjuzzreviews #Mithya #mithya2022 Set in the picturesque hillstation of Darjeeling, Mithya, directed by Rohan Sippy, is an intense psychological thriller which will keep you engaged throughout its runtime.

A seemingly simple case of plagiarism by a student Rhea (debutante Meghana Dasani, Bhagyashree's daughter) results in a face off with her teacher Juhi ( Huma Qureshi) that has serious consequences. Who will win this phychological battle? OR Will there ever be a winner...is what the series is all about.

Each episode starts off as a flashback and ends with a murder investigation happening in the present. A different treatment to the story, refreshing indeed!!

The casting is great with earnest performances from Parmabhrata Chatterjee, Rajit Kapoor, Samir Soni and Indranil Sengupta. Huma hogs the limelight and has given a decent performance. Meghana too holds her own against a seasoned cast.

Cinematography & direction are good, coupled with a great background score. The ending might seem a bit predictable but not bad either. The story has been kept open for a sequel.

This 6 part series with short episodes of around 35 mins each is a good weekend binge-watch option.

I will give it a 3/5 ...Happy watching.. adios 🙂
