Vinod crosses paths with Rajeev. Will they be successful in eliminating the wrongdoers? Will Vinod lose something precious in his life while he works to stop the unethical things? The rest of the story follows this.

Star Performance

Nivin Pauly’s performance is excellent, and he stands firmly as Vinod. Shruti and Rajit Kapoor lent firm support. The rest of the supporting cast is also good.

Analysis

The story is neat. Exploring the pharmaceutical crimes is a good idea. The condition of the lower-level employees in this field is explored well. The series moves at a slow pace, despite 8 episodes. If the episodes had been limited to six, it would’ve been better. Twists and suspense are not properly revealed. The BGM is not impactful. The visuals are fine. The editing is not impressive. The writing could’ve been better with some more impactful scenes.

What’s There?

• The performances are decent
• The visuals are impressive
• The script is decent

What’s Not There?

• The pacing is slow
• The editing and the BGM are not up to the mark

Verdict

The performance of Nivin is the biggest plus in this series. Despite the strong plot, it has weak writing and BGM. If you are a Nivin Pauly fan, you may like this series.
