Indori Ishq(MXPlayer,9 Episodes)
Rating: *(1 Star)
In the last episode—if and when you reach that silver lining—our hero,a strange diminutive creature who is so hysterically heartbroken he can’t tell which opening in his body leads to what, tells a illegal gun dealer, “Give me just two bullets,one for the woman who made a chutiya out of her beloved. The other for the guy who allowed himself to be made a chutiya repeatedly.”
How about a third bullet for the biggest chutiya of them all? Those who actually steel their will grit their teeth and brave watching this sewer version of Devdas? The Indori Devdas, hereafter named Kunal, is conned by Tara, a Paro who is heavily into two-timing and three-timing.Fine.But does it justify the crass misogyny that the serial serves up with streetside relish?
Broken hearted Kunal spends the rest of his time drinking and drinking and drinking, and slurring and abusing and ranting at all the gods who have conspired to reduce his life to a hovel on the docks in Mumbai where he does nothing except,drink, swear, etc.
Oh, wait there is a Chandramukhi also. A dancebar girl named Reshma who smokes like a chimney , starts every sentence with ‘Apun’ and addresses herself as a randi everytime the plotline gets thandi.Which is , at an average, every 7 minutes.
At the end of the drinking cussing killing and fornicating comes the ‘message’…Yessss! There is a point to this whole aimless meandering drunken exercise. Here it comes: If two-timing guys are locked up under section 375 for rape why not girls who do the same to guys?
I am sure the judiciary would be able to answer Kunal’s controversial question. I have other questions bothering me. Who thought of this series, and that too with a cast of actors (whose names I won’t mention for the sake of protecting their identities) who are laughably bad ? Writer-director Samit Kakkad probably loved doing maa-bahen to Devdas. But for the audience,the series is a joke.And not a funny one at that.
