4/5
Finally, A Ray of Hope!
‘Ray‘ is the new Netflix Web Series which is an anthology for four films, adapted from the stories of Satyajit Ray and Directed by Abhishek Chaubey, Vasan Bala and Srijit Mukherjee
#Ray features, Manoj Bajpayee, Harshvardhan Kapoor, Ali Fazal, Kay Kay Menon, Gajraj Rao, Akansha Ranjan Kapoor, Radhika Madan, Shweta Basu Prasad and Chandan Roy Sanyal. So, u can imagine! This is the DREAM TEAM! Lot of Expectations, Right?
Ray is actually an anthology of 4 short stories revolving around 4 male protagonists and how they deal with their vulnerabilities! Excellent work done by all the actors. Take a bow Team!
Forget Me Not
Ali Fazal plays Ipsit, an entrepreneur who is described as a human computer. But a chance encounter with a former flame sends him spiralling into self-doubt. The Story is about a man coming to the gradual realisation that is greatest superpower is fading before his eyes. The ending is ambiguous. My Favourite of the lot! Excellent work by Ali and marvelous story telling!
Behrupiya
Starring Kay Kay Menon is a one man show in which he stars as an overlooked makeup artist. Indrashish (Kay Kay Menon) is a clerk with an unhealthy obsession for prosthetics. His grandmother was a make-up supplier for Hollywood studios; when she passes, she leaves him a fortune and her book of tricks. Needless to say, Indrashish puts it to good use, fooling his landlord at first and then quickly dialing up the stakes.
Hungama Hai Kyon Barpa
The story begins with Musafir Ali (Manoj Bajpayee), a celebrated ghazal singer, boarding a train from Bhopal to Delhi,who meet on a rail journey, but can’t seem to shake the feeling that they’ve seen each other before. We learn those ten years ago, on a similar train ride, Musafir had stolen a watch belonging to Baig. From that day on, Luck changed for both of then…HOW?? – Do Watch!
Spotlight
The protagonist of Spotlight, a star named Vik, played by Harshvardhan Kapoor. Arriving at a small-town resort for a shoot, Vik smiles broadly for the cameras. His thunder, though, is quickly stolen by Didi (Radhika Madan), an enigmatic cult leader who’s also put up there. A battle of egos ensues.How does it Unfold? No Spoilers!
I would overall rate it a 4 out of 5 and definitely a must watch!
