Among all the legal drama serials, “Reeta Sanyal” tries to stand on grounds by putting courtroom excitement with personal issues. Starring Adah Sharma as a main character, challenges of justice, right and wrong, personal grudges that can come into play, are enlisted in this series.
Story :
Reeta Sanyal is a story of Adah Sharma as a determined lawyer, who takes on a murder case so high-profile that it is linked to a corrupt politician. As Reeta embarks on the journey of exploring the legal world, she meets personal demons entangled with her father’s death. It was based on Amit Khan’s novels and attempts to work on themes related to justice and morality. It promises a lot but delivers little, with tonal inconsistency and pacing issues that dispel the overall impact.
Performance :
Adah Sharma delivers a strong performance as the confusingly constant, strong and fragile mix Reeta as she could be. This mixed scenario and the emotional stakes between her character’s relationship make it relatable. However, some support actors sometimes do not reach that same depth and conviction level, such as Rahul Dev playing the bad man, making their presence at times within the tension within the storyline feel underwhelming.
Positives :
Engaging plot
Strong lead
Intriguing
Negatives :
Subpar Execution
Amateurish
Too convoluted
Analysis :
The series tries to juggle so many storylines but fails with sharp shifts in tone. For instance, if a film begins with the humor of a dog in court and then shifts to very serious legal matters like murders, it becomes quite awkward. This inconsistency gives a tinge to a serious legal drama and there is also weakness in the depth of emotions that characterize the narrative. The use of many subplots or sub characters in such films results in an unmanageable dramatic mess where the audience cannot focus on the subject matter of the movie. For all the possibilities for deeper politics there may be here, execution often feels muddled and unfocused.
Verdict :
Reeta Sanyal is a mixed offering that hints at the potential of the lead performance and an interesting premise. However, an overall feeling of amateurish and uninspired endeavor is felt through uneven pacing and shifting tonality. While light drama might entertain viewers in search of it, anyone who seeks a more capable legal thriller will not find it here. The series promises to be much improved going forward and hopefully hone up the narrative for something more coherent .Overall, this season provides an average viewing experience, falling short of leaving a lasting impression despite its promising concept
Rating: 2.5/5
