바카라Jehanabad바카라: Story
The story follows the events of a small town in Bihar called Jehanabad, where innocent love and anarchy of the land are heading towards a collision. Set in 2005, the show has been inspired by real-life incidents. While the Naxals plan the country's biggest jailbreak to free Deepak Kumar, a seasoned Naxal commander; there is love brewing between college professor Abhimanyu Singh and his student Kasturi Mishra. The story is filled with love, loss, betrayal, and ultimately, the resilience of the human spirit. What will happen when love and war cross paths? What fate awaits the people of Jehanabad? Well, for that you'll have to watch the show.
바카라Jehanabad바카라: Performances
, one of the two main leads of the show, has barely any scenes until the climax. It바카라s a massive waste of his talent. Barring the final climax scene, the entire character doesn바카라t have enough meat for an actor of the calibre of Parambrata Chatterjee.
has decently justified his character. Till about the 6th episode, you바카라re still wondering about which side his character leans towards. And only when the revelation is done, you are left flabbergasted as now everything he did before starts making sense. Ritwik Bhowmik manages to keep a very innocent outlook and keeps a poker face throughout. Therefore, not giving out much about his character, which in turn, makes his character even more interesting.
Harshita Gaur as the bubbly girl-next-door is the perfect small-town girl who wants to break free of the shackles of a small town and make it big in life. Not only in her looks but even in her body language, she manages to imbibe that spirit, which makes the character bloom perfectly on her.
Even in a smaller character is a class apart. The way he has caught the dialect is simply brilliant. Not to forget how smoothly he switches between the character of a conniving politician and a caring father-like figure to Harshita Gaur바카라s character.
The rest of the supporting characters have played their parts decently enough. However, there is none who stands out as much as Rajat Kapoor does.
바카라Jehanabad바카라: Script, Direction & Technical Aspects
Rajeev Barnwal바카라s writing is one of the high points of 바카라Jehanabad바카라. While the story looks quite predictable from the outside considering its set up in Bihar in the early 2000s, amidst the gory political situation of the state, but in reality, the story is totally different. The writing makes sure that you바카라re left with enough high throughout and you바카라re not able to pre-judge any move made by any character. It remains catchy and engaging till the climax.
Rajeev Barnwal and Satyanshu Singh바카라s direction too add the perfect spice to an already intriguing story. They바카라ve not tried too hard to throw it on your face that it was set up in the early 2000s. They have created the necessary feel of that era through the actions and reactions of the characters. Also, they have made sure that the characters remain relatable to every small-town person, not just from Bihar, which is a great trope to have in a web series.
Usually, the music of a web show is kept mostly as a background score, but in 바카라Jehanabad바카라, a few songs like 바카라Kahin Kuch Toota바카라 and the opening title track make the music also stand out on its own. 바카라Kahin Kuch Toota바카라 is a great romantic track to have on your regular day-to-day music playlists. The background score is also decent and manages to transcend you to the era where the story is set.
The cinematography is also top-notch. The usage of a low sepia filter throughout the shoot brings the required feel of 바카라바카라 being set up in the early 2000s. The dusty and rustic feel of the storyline is well-complimented by the cinematography.
The editing is one of the only things that are slightly weak. Cutting out a bit of the unnecessary smaller plotlines could have easily made this show reduce to 8 episodes instead of 10. Because it is 10 episodes, there are a few scenes here and there where you바카라re left feeling bored. However, with a taut climax, the web show picks up its pace and ends at a high point.
바카라Jehanabad바카라: Can Kids Watch It?
Yes
Outlook바카라s Verdict
바카라Jehanabad바카라 may look like your regular guns and gore kind of show set up in the midst of a rising political battle in the early 2000s, but in actuality, the storyline is more detailed and discusses many social evils, not just of that time, but even of today바카라s times. The presentation is unpredictable with numerous highs strewn throughout. If the duration could have been reduced a bit to around 8 episodes, this would have been much more effective. Nevertheless, it바카라s indeed very gripping and keeps you deeply engaged till the very end. It바카라s a great One Time Watch. I am going with 3.5 stars.
