Ray Netflix review: Worth watching or not

1. Ray Netflix review: Worth watching or not If you are a fan of Satyajit Ray’s (a well-known director, illustrator, and author) writing, you can definitely watch the series Ray recently streaming on Netflix. It’s an anthological series with a collection of four short stories. The stories are not interrelated, as every story is going to give you a different experience. The star cast is good in which some actors have revived the life of the character whereas, some have done disappointing work. Ray can be explained as an attempt to pay a tribute to the industry's masterpiece “Satyajit Ray '' in his 100th birth year. Also, the directors and actors had tried their best to support the story retelling in modern times. Ray will leave you with a mixed feeling in which two stories are good to see, one has no meaning in my view, and one story is the best attention-grabbing segment. Actors did their job well in Forget Me Not, Bahrupiya, and Hungama Hai Kyon Burpa. While in the spotlight the narration and dialogue delivery is not up to the mark. Forget Me Not: Directed by Srijit Mukherjee the story revolves around an entrepreneur who was believed to have a photographic memory. He had started questioning his brilliance after an encounter with a strange woman. The woman claims to be his acquaintance, but the actor does not recognize her or even visit the place she had mentioned. The lead role is performed by Ali Fazal, the well-known actor

2. who is believed to bring life to the character of the story. The story was quite good, but the acting of the female stars flashed up to the mark. Bahurupiya: Bahrupiya revolves around a makeup artist who was great at his work. This one is also directed by Srijit Mukherjee. He fills life in the character with his immense art of makeup. But was not very popular or gets any credit for his work. All of a sudden he became very rich as one of his relatives left a will for him in which he gets lots of money along with a book. After receiving these gifts from his late grandma, he started to believe that he can question God too. Played by K.K Menon, this story is simple and good. Spotlight: Directed by VasanBala, Spotlight is a peculiar segment. The story is centered on an actor who is believed to grab all the attention of the audience. But he had a life-changing experience when he confronted a lady who was known as God lady. Harshvardhan Kapoor, the shining star of the Kapoor family played the role and Radhika Madan portrayed the God lady. The story was average, but the acting was below average, though Radhika managed to put herself up to the role. Hungama Hai Kyon Burpa: Helmed by Abhishek Chaubey, this segment is the best one among the four segments. Actor Manoj Bajpayee and Gajraj Rao had done a splendid job. This one is said to be the perfect deception of Satyajit Ray's story. Acting, direction, dialogues everything was just perfect. Manoj Bajpayee played a Ghazal singer and Gajraj Rao played a former wrestler turned into a sports journalist. They had shared a nostalgic experience where they had met again under the same circumstances after 10 years. The story is a light-hearted comedy. This segment will especially drive your heart into it. All in all, the show is worth watching if you are a literature fan. The work of the actors, especially in Hungama Hai Kyon Burpa is appreciable. You can skip the three segments and jump directly into this one. You can say it’s a one-time watch and good to go on a weekend. - This content was originally published on sites.google.com
