Ray Netflix Web Series (2021) Review:
Hey, I'm Hammad. Today i'm gonna explain a web series named Ray which is recently released on Netflix. So let's get started...
Do you watch believe in magic? … No!
You have misunderstood because every day you get into a magic trick. How? … You are thinking this, aren’t you?
In the world of books the magic which can make any person trindle the whole planet while sitting at home. Neither plane nor car or train only some words is written on the page and your brain starts flying like a bird. Having these kinds of magic tricks there is a magician named Satyajit Ray who has the power to send any person in the past 50 years ago or in the future 50 years ahead on a snap. Yet who doesn’t believe in magic so no issue feel it today. Where? … On Netflix.
Welcome to today’s review of Ray.
This time neither one nor two or three you will see four magic tricks today.
Such four stories which show the human’s four dangerous addictions. Those who
destroy someone’s life like termites slowly.
Addiction one is revenge:
Addiction two is ego:
This story is quite interesting because
a person has challenged God. Meet this person whose passion is make up artist
everyday he gives life of new story’s character by doing make up. There is a twist that he doesn’t have respect
in his society but the table has turned because his grand mother had died and she
left her property for him that has 75 lakh rupees along with a mysterious book
named Bahuroopi. After reading that book he has decided to write his fortune
by himself.
Addiction three is envy:
To look for our sadness in someone’s
happiness. In which there is an actor who considers himself a heartbeat of young
hearts. What is it called? … Rockstar!!
For the time being, he has come to
another city for a new movie shoot but this time he has been ditched. How? …
The camera whose focus is always on him now Didi has occupied it. Who
is didi? … For the world, she is a mirror of a pious who has power in her eyes
by whom she can turn sadness into happiness in a snap. In short, our hero has
come into a supporting role from a lead actor. Didi has stolen the spotlight of the film.
Addiction four is betrayal:
So, You have listened to the introduction
of all stories. Now, come to the point how is the show? … answers are
here for all stories individually.
The first story is an amazing thriller,
suspense everything is here especially the reference of Drishyam has
been added you can understand that the director wants to play with your mind the
character is only circulating in a maze. Here out of the screen, we are who
remains tangled from starting to ending because of that questions that person
is theif … no … that person is theif … no … someone
else is theif.
The second story concept is amazing too, the battle between God vs Human and the second thing which has an open ending scene in
the climax is a shocking scene. It’s a special treat for Bengali cinema lovers.
The director tried his best to implement the rich culture of Bengal in his
movie that will leave an impact on everyone’s eyes, heart, and heart.
The third story is really a complete
story of this series. No suspense … No mystery but the method of telling a story is
dangerous as well as perfect. It touches the heart. Especially in which method
the whole scene is set in a train and communication starts between two unknown
persons it feels quite relatable because we all have experienced this situation
in whole life and the scene that is shown the Greediness of the watch to control
the time that represents the x-factor of it.
Don’t ask about the fourth story … No ... The story is good as well as its concept but its presentation is so useless. How to destroy a good movie learn from the director.
Weakness:
- Acting and performance are not good we can’t say it is average. You won’t feel a connection with this film even for a second.
- These actors won’t attract you to this film.
- The dialogues of these characters are not easy to understand I had to on the subtitles to understand these dialogues.
- The message which should come in the end that is disappeared. Its direction is so confusing.
Strength:
- Its biggest strength is its story “Magic of Satyajit Ray” which is still so relevant and impactful after 50/60 years.
- Kay Kay Menon, Manoj Bajpayee, Gajraj Rao, Ali Fazal are the actors who don’t even act in any film but he performs that story character as they are living that character.
- In the middle of every story, there is a mirror in which you see yourself and make eye contact to hidden addiction of yourself. 100% real and relatable content.
There are small details missing in
every story because of that it’s not perfect. The 1 hr which has assigned to
every movie if it is increased by 2hr or 2hr 30mn and every scene shows scene
by scene then our mind feels satisfaction. There won’t have any complaints after
that.
5 out of 4 stars to Ray by my side. One
star is for the intelligent and clever narration style of all stories except the fourth
story. The second star is for the shocking climax at the end of all stories. The third star is for cinema vs religion the person who makes fun of modern society and the
passion of obsessed about becoming no one in the human body permanent demon. Highlighting
these all interesting concepts in one series to give us future safety warnings. Mend
your ways before it’s too late. The fourth star is for amazing acting performance. Manoj
Bajpayee and Gajraj Rao are the best actors.
If I talk about negatives so I haven’t
given half start because of the time-wasting and confusing presentation of the fourth story and half star is for missing small details in every story because
of that, not 100 out of 100 … it’s 90/91 that’s the reason we feel incompletion
of something.
