Step into the time machine with "90's - A Middle Class Biopic" - a series that promises a blast from the past but..
Attempting to ride the nostalgia wave of the '90 but, set in 2006 probably, this series seems to have caught a bit of the "Gullak" bug in its writing. While the characters are penned down decently, the story is a rollercoaster of highs (funny scenes and emotional scenes) and lows (romance tracks for all three kids is a bit too much).
Shivaji and Vasuki, attempting Telangana slang, end up sounding like lost tourists - it effected their performance. On the flip side, Mouli, Vasanthika, Snehal and the guy who played Mouli's friend deserve a round of applause for holding down the fort with their stellar performances.
Beware of the over-the-top younger brother Aditya - he's cinematically dramatic.
The rest of the cast tries their best, but it's a mixed bag.
When it comes to the visuals, the locations and sets are okay - nothing to write home about. Cinematography is the middle child, not outstanding but not a complete disappointment either. On a brighter note, the color grading deserves a nod. Music is apt.
So, should you give it a go? Well, if you've got time to kill and a penchant for '90s throwbacks, sure, why not? Just don't expect a blockbuster - this one's more like a cozy sweater that's seen better days.
