Hi Friends, 

DIAL 100 is the latest Bollywood movie released on the ZEE5 OTT platform released on 6 Aug 2021 starring Manoj Bajpayee, Neena Gupta, Sakshi Tanwar, Nandu Madhav, Urmila Mahanta, Svar Kamble and many others directed and written by Rensil D'silva. The movie is just 104 minutes long to keep you on the edge of your seats as the mystery unfolds in this new thriller. Sony Pictures Films India and Alchemy Films are the production houses behind the movie along with Siddharth P. Malhotra and Sapna Malhotra. Music is provided by Raju Singh and dialogues are written by Niranjan Iyengar. 

Manoj Bajpayee plays the role of Senior Inspector Nikhil Sood who works in the department who handles all the calls of the police department when someone dials 100 and that's how the name of the movie comes from. His wife is played by Sakshi Tanwar as Prerna Sood and his son Dhruv Sood by Svar Kamble. There are some tensions showcased in the family but only later do you get to know what's happening. 

Neena Gupta is the caller named Seema Pallav and she has her own reasons to take revenge on the Sood family which is shown subsequently. How she gets into the system and tries to teach Nikhil and her family a lesson is what this movie is about. The acting is powerful as the star cast is really strong from Manoj to Neena to Sakshi Tanwar. How Nikhil is able to save his family and also fights the police system himself is what this movie is all about? Can there be a change of heart for Senior Inspector Nikhil Sood if someone has been wronged by the Police Department and loses their loved ones? 

The movie is a one time watch for Manoj Bajpayee and Neena Gupta's acting. You will enjoy this ride as the caller slowly reveals her real motives and how the training and experience instincts of the Senior Inspector kicks in to save his family? What I liked is that there is something different in this movie as compared to the regular police drama. Here the focus is on the systems and police networks to check on the persons in calls using all the latest technology at hand. Also with great power you can also save your loved ones but can't control the fate or series of events that will happen in your life. Will you fight against your own system or department if you feel what your heart is telling as compared to what your seniors and mind is telling you are some of the questions the movie will leave you with? 

RATING 3/5

Cheers!!!

#TheLifesWayReviews Panchayat @PrimeVideoIN #PanchayatOnPrime #Comedy #Drama

Hi Friends, 

Panchayat is a web series on Amazon Prime Video and I was waiting for the same but somehow got delayed to see the same as my family was busy using the TV for a long time and then I had to see the same on my laptop. I totally loved watching the series because of the acting of Jitendra Kumar, Raghubir Yadav, and Chandan Roy day to day workings of Panchayat Office in a remote village of Phulera, Uttar Pradesh, India. Neena Gupta, Faisal Malik, and Biswapati Sarkar play another important role in this web series. Each episode follows a new challenge thrown to Abhishek as a Gram Sachiv and its a roller coaster ride. 

The story revolves around Abhishek Tripathi played by Jitendra who completes his engineering exams and take up a job as an Office Secretary for Panchayat Office working for the village Pradhan Manju Devi (Neena Gupta) but the whole decision making is done by her husband or Pradhan Pati Brij Bhushan Dubey (Raghubir Yadav) who also gets a verbal beating from his wife from time to time on many of his decisions and actions. The chemistry between them reminds me of Mungeri Lal Ke Haseen Sapne TV serials where Raghubir Yadav plays a similar role with Ruma Ghosh as his wife. Neena Gupta gets her share of acting in the last 2-3 episodes primarily and what a performance! 

Abhishek characters take inspiration and advice from his best friend Prateek who works in a corporate sector and at various times he is the person behind many troubles Abhishek faces in these 8 episodes on Amazon Prime Video. As he continues to fight the system along with the personal challenges of staying in a village and how he adapts and learns about the same forms this situational comedy web series. He also starts preparing for MBA CAT exams and faces many troubles which he overcomes. Vikas (Chandan Roy) working as Assistant in the Panchayat office compliments Abhishek and helps him from time to time and brings in a lot of fun and laughter to the show by his cuteness and honesty. The camaraderie between the main characters is what's best portrayed in this series and the scene where they are challenged by nearby town goons and four of them go and beat them up. 

The web series is written by Chandan Kumar and Directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra and produced by TVF (The Viral Fever) who has created around 20 more youtube and web series since 2010. Panchayat is their 21st venture streaming now on to the Amazon Prime Video platform and what a lovely series they made. The overall web series is really hopeful and all the characters fit perfectly well and the series opens up for a second season to look forward to as the last episodes come with a beautiful mystery character. Go watch it this weekend! RATING 4.5/5

Namaste!!!
