Tooth Pari: When Love Bites (2023)
A whimsical tale about a vampire; who falls for a diffident dentist. A treat to watch series!!
I really loved the way, the director has approached the story. It's original and a fresh take on this vampire world; which is the least explored genre in the country. So, it's a challenge for every filmmaker to make his or her story work, when there aren't enough materials available on the subject. However, the director has pulled it off so effortlessly well.
The story centres around a rebellious vampire named Rumi, whose tumultuous love life is at the heart of the narrative. Doc Roy, her love interest is a sweet and shy person. Kartik Pal, an alcoholic police sets out on a journey to investigate a mysterious case; which is quite spooky and uncertain. How these characters' paths cross with one another, only time will tell. Pratim Dasgupta sir, who is the director of the series, has beautifully written each character, has given the back story, which helps the audience to connect to these characters' emotional struggles and elation at certain stages.
As the series progresses, it becomes more interesting and you would want to know more about Rumi's journey, her past and the complexities that engulf her life. Loved this Indian version of vampire story, which is deeply rooted in bewitching Kolkata. That makes it extra special, because of its past colonial history and cultural heritage; it sort of convince the masses that such world could exist within the city. Kolkata's exquisite landmarks have been beautifully and seamlessly incorporated into the storyline. It enhances the visuals of the series by leaps and bounds. It's a must watch series! How can you miss out on an opportunity to watch such content, that is quirky, romantic, gruesome, emotional and has a slice of humour. So it's a full package of entertainment.
