An honest attempt - kudos to Zakir
The show takes a couple of episodes to grip on to its audience, but for people like me, with childhood spent in 90s, this show is a refresher. To throw perspective, my grandad (83 now), told me - "chacha vidhayak hai hamare" laga le (put on "chacha vidhayak hai hamare").It has a very decent cast, with most of the actors holding their ground, except Zakir Khan, but then by the end of the season he too manages to connect to the audience and make them feel his helplessness (so called).
Though I would say it is not Zakir's acting that we are supposed to appreciate here, but his writing, his witty lines (listen hard, you may miss more than you think) and the way he is able to draw a connection and come out a winner in the end, and a loser at the same time.
Like he said in the series - jhooth bhaut bole hain, but dhokha nahi diya kisi ko aaj tak (have lied a lot but haven't betrayed anyone yet), the series can work a few aspects, but has one thing that is most important - soul.
score 9/10
