TVF Tripling (2016)
Nine stars for season one Five for second
Season one was a refreshing and funny story of three siblings on a road trip. It felt less commercial and authentic. Unfortunately season two came as a commercial masala series due too less work on the script. The characters were interesting but the weak story and subpar dialogues made scenes, that could potentially be brilliant, to come out as mediocre and boring. The production value surely looked better, perhaps thanks to the shameless and over the top advertisements that have become regular for web series. Music in season two is an improvement for sure. However, many scenes almost made you feel like scene from a Bollywood masala movie partly because of the music. The time, money and effort involved in those irrelevant dance and music scenes could have been better channeled in making the script smoother.
Bisht, Please! (2017)
Utter waste and a huge disappointment from TVF
The show, an attempt to portray the ills of the modern urban Indian society, remains that- an attempt, and that too so bad that some college projects are far better than this. It's too amateurish.
The show is ambitious, no doubt about that. It tries to cover some burning issues present in today's India- issues which are most relevant to the newly emerging bourgeoisie of the nation. Sadly such issues are not depicted in our popular culture too often and one would hope for a really nuanced approach from the makers of TVF, but that turned out not to be the case. The huge letdown comes from the script department, which before this show was perhaps the best thing about TVF. The script is incoherent, random preachy scenes which do not connect together make some really intolerable sequences. The result is- some funny(well, an attempt to be funny) scenes sprinkled here and there in the midst of some preachy-lecture-scenes.
Well, to be honest, it had some moments of good humor and some genuine moments that one could for a moment connect to, but that is the end of all that is good in the show. It gets so bad one has to force oneself through the torture that the third episode was. It's not to say that the first two are any good, but the third episode was so bad I could not force myself anymore- left the show in the middle of the episode.
I just can't bear to imagine that this comes from the makers of shows like Pitchers and Tripling. A huge letdown. From here they can only go up.
