Vyavastha - Web Series
Vyavastha -Web Series, currently streaming on Zee5, is a good entertainer, though the length of the series is much more than one would like it to be. It has 8 episodes and all of them are longer.
Full marks for selection of cast and there can be no complaints in this area. All of them have done their bit and acquitted themselves well. But, one should admit that Sampat Raj (Avinash Chakravarty), who is the villain, stands tall, performance-wise. He is a defence lawyer, whom the heroine Hebba Patel, his client initially, wants to be replaced by another lawyer.
The story telling is really good and the picturisation is not to be found fault with. The court scenes shot also appear almost real but the police department is shown to be working for the villain, Avinash Chakravarty (Sampat Raj). And as a senior advocate, the respect shown for him in the court by the judges is also understandable, but one fails to comprehend how a defence lawyer rejected by his client can be permitted to step into the shoes of the Public Prosecutor and argue in the court for prosecution of the same client and the lawyer defending her.
Lastly, the commonly used swear word by Avinash Chakravarty (Sampat Raj) is “fucking” as a prefix to another word. Such things appear to have been permitted in Web Series, but inter-state invective also has been used in three places by him. It is a Bengali four-letter word, “Boka Choda”, a very common day-to-day swear word used in Bengal. The purpose of introducing a swear word of another state in this web series is not understandable. Various web series now streaming online threaten to end us up in cultural decadence.
Overall, it is a good series, but if the length is pruned to suit the convenience of the working people, it is bound to be a little more successful. Last, but not the least, removal of swear words will in no way take away the sheen off the web series.
