Our Take:
The story is good enough to draw interest. The leads are good in their act. Jatin Sharma as Raju looks very convincing as the rowdy. Vinti Idnani as Nandu has more to show up on her character. Vinti’s dialogue delivery looks tough on the tone, but has less impact. Jatin is graceful as the rowdy, with good impact dialogues and angry expressions. Vinti’s feminine side to tough Nandu is nice. The supporting cast is well cast. Mihir Mishra’s character Ravan will be gaining space in coming weeks. He is remarkable in his short role.
Supriya’s entry is yet to happen. She dons a powerful character Rambhateri. There are many lacking points in the storyline. Sometimes the scene comes soon, else it is disconnected to the previous one. The characters sketch is weak. There had to be more depth in bringing up distinction in characters and link their past. The mystery of Raavan is the only interesting thing in the show. To see Supriya’s character fight with evil and make Model town residents meet their angelic side makes a wonderful concept.
Overall:
Life Ok always tries out new concepts. The channel gives chance to fresh talent. The try is notable. Good attempt and hope to see more good from the story. It has comic element in it. It can be fairly seen by audience who like comedy and drama genre.
