KSG's Dangerous, good stuff, but loses it way in the end.

 

The thriller genre best suits  Karan Singh Grower.  His  latest feature film Dangerous on  MX   Player,

could have been great offering. 

 

   In an attempt to stretch the thrill, one twist too many was added.  I  liked it until the last episode when everything went off-kilter. Also, in the climax scene, how come other cops did not turn up leaving  Bipasha  Basu to deal with the main villain.

 

  Having said that the kidnapping story( Karan  wife played by  Sonali  Raut is kidnapped and ex-girl Bipasha investigates) was taut and edgy, I binged watched all seven episodes.  Full marks to the editors for  seamlessly  managing  to fuse a feature film into  7 episode series  (Producer  Mika  Singh had to release  Adat on  OTT due to  COVID) . Usually, things can go awry here.   Guess, the reduced length of each episode kept me glued on.

 

  The best part what I liked was that no time was wasted, cutting to the chase So you did not get distracted, which generally occur in hour-long series.

I did guess the twist, but then that was bound to happen. 

 

 

Had director Bhushan Patel . wanted they could have added a few more steamy scenes to the final film cut to appeal to the  OTT audience but glad they did not.

 

    Karan is growing an actor, but  I guess he better stick to the thriller genre(  Alone and  Hate  Story3) which does not require weighty emotions.  Bips has done a swell job as always.

     Feel bad for Suyyash  Rai for had Dangerous released on the big screen as initially planned as his negative role would have been sene in a different light.  But yes for sure his acting will be noticed.

  Among the women, sadly  Natasha Suri(poor thing is down with  Covid-19) did not get much acting space, though her character was necessary. . Sonali   Raut was spot as the rich carefree women who crossed the line.

 

   Shooting in London gave a different cinematographic feeling which did work.
