MUMBAI: Rajeev Khandelwal is one of the finest actors we have in Bollywood. He has delivered different types of roles effectively. His movies like Table No. 21, Aamir, and Samrat and Co. have earned him a lot of love and appreciation from the audiences. He has a huge fanbase.
The actor who has shown his magic on the small and big screens. He is now back with a thriller on voot select titled Marzi.
Voot's Marzi is the official remake of hit web series Liar and is a good one-time watch.
The series is based on a medico named. Anurag Saraswat. He moves to a hilly town to start life afresh with his 16-year-old son Ayaan, after losing his wife in q case of suspected suicide. Anurag seems interested in Ayaan’s teacher at school, Sameera Chauhan, with whom he even goes on a date. The date night takes a turn for the worse after the two share a drink and eventually get intimate. The next morning, Sameera goes on to claim that Anurag has raped her. The allegation turns Anurag’s world topsy-turvy, and the medico asserts that she had consented to his physical advances. There’s no evidence from Sameera to validate her rape charge. Who’s lying here? Will their lives ever be the same again?
It’s a relief to see Rajeev Khandelwal back in good form after a drab outing like Cold Lassi Aur Chicken Masala. He doesn’t mind playing his age in Marzi and seems to have enjoyed exploring the negative dimensions of his character with newfound confidence. Aahana Kumra is earnest in the shoes of a hot-blooded teacher, but a certain element of restraint could have made her performance more poignant and heartfelt. Pavleen Gujral’s portrayal of a cop doesn’t make the role a caricature and comes with a lot of composure and internalised aggression. Vivek Mushran, Rajeev Siddhartha, Shivani Tanksale, and Abhay Verma appear assured within their supporting acts.
Team TellyChakkar goes with 3 stars for Voot Select's Marzi.
