A wasted opportunity!
Even Dimple Kapadia and Saif Ali Khan couldn't carry the series on their shoulders. It's such a wasted opportunity, if only Ali Abbas Zafar had not touched it. India is making an impact on OTT platforms with shows like Sacred Games, Made in Heaven, Scam 1992, and Delhi Crime. So you expect an interesting show when it has a good budget and cast. When I saw Ali Abbas Zafar's name, my expectations from the show were already low, but I stuck to it for Saif Ali Khan (he's proved himself many a times), and the more I watched the more I was disappointed.The script is weak, plot is hardly engaging, constantly playing music in the bg is distracting, and nothing in the story, nothing at all, makes sense. Then again, you don't expect a sensible script from someone who's made Ek Tha Tiger Returns and Bharat.
The main theme (score) is plagiarized from Sherlock, a very lazy attempt.
All in all, it's a poor man's 'Rajneeti'.
score 1/10
