The intriguingly woven fabric of the backdrop of Bihar has been attracting the audience in series like Rangbaaz, Maharani, Mirzapur in the past as well. The new series and webfilms Thai Massage and Thar by the name CountryMafia have gained popularity on OTT in the last month.
Countrymafia: Bihar once again
The web series Countrymafia aired on Zee Five last days has brought back the characters of former Bahubali or Dabanggs of Bihar to life once again on the screen, reminding us of the terror spread once upon a time. Written by authors Sanjay Masoom, Mithilesh Singh and their team, the story this time features a brother-sister duo, who are preparing for the IPS exam. Seeking to avenge the murder of their father engaged in the illegal liquor business, the siblings clash with notorious liquor mafia don Babban Rai by killing the murderer.
Thai Massage: A Deep Thing Under the Wrap of Entertainment
In the film Thai Massage on Netflix, living around the typical Malvi environment of Ujjain, a retired man who has been busy taking care of an unwell wife all his life, going to Thailand to fulfill his hidden desires, must have been unbearable for the narrow society and family But it proved to be a deeply satisfying experience for Atmaram himself. Gajraj Rao’s main role under the direction of Mangesh Hadawale will be considered commendable. Divyendu Sharma, Rajpal Yadav and Vibha Chhibber are also fine in other roles. Such presentation on untouched, forbidden topics are welcome.
Thar: In Hollywood Style
Presenting himself as a producer in Hollywood style, perhaps this time Anil Kapoor was overshadowed. Earlier in Series 24, Anil was seen playing such a special character. The Netflix film Thar is set in the remote desert of Rajasthan. The story stars Anil Kapoor as a dedicated cop who does not hesitate to put himself in danger in pursuit of unknown dacoits and murderers.
Sureka Singh and his partner Bhurelal find themselves embroiled in a story that exposes the drug trade on the country’s border, among the few dutiful policemen who investigate the crime flourishing in the desolate desert of Jaisalmer-Barmer. Anurag Kashyap’s own style seems unfathomable with the new experiment in Thar.
In many famous Hollywood films, stories of encounters of detectives and criminals have often been created in such desolate, deserted locations in ruined houses, but alas, the Indian audience is generally not able to digest them. Apart from their son Harshvardhan and favorite actor-director Satish Kaushik, the trio of Anil Kapoor, Anurag Kashyap and Rajsinh Chowdhary has also tried to add glamor through actresses like Fatima Sana Shaikh and Mukti Mohan. Will be able to give the right decision about the future of the film.
