London Files Review: Voot was missing from the OTT arena for the last few months and to fulfill that gap they come with a new series titled ‘London Files’, I have just finished the series, and here is the detailed review about the Voot original series London Files. I am going to tell you about the Peformances, plot and more.
The web series stars Arjun Rampal (Playing the character of Om Singh) and Purab Kohli (Playing the role of Amar Roy) in the main lead role, the series also stars Gopal Datt in the very crucial role along with Sapna Pabbi, Medha Rana and others, there are 6 episodes in the series and all episodes are around 30-35 minutes long, the series is available on Voot in Hindi audio with subtitles. The series is directed by Sachin Pathak.
The plot of the series revolves around the Kidnapping of Maya (Played by Medha Rana) who is the daughter of Amar Roy (Purab Kohli), An investigating officer Om Singh (Played By Arjun Rampal) was assigned to the case, During the investigation, Om came to know about the Daugther – Father relationship was not good between the Amar Roy and Maya, Om also suspects that there is some political angle too in it, Who was the Kidnapper why Maya was kidnapped, to know this you have to watch the 6 episode long web series on SonyLiv.
The writing of the series looks promising initially but later it struggles to get the attention, the story is aimless and diverted from its path just after a few minutes, the writing is very confusing and super slow, even the 6 episode series feels like a dull and super slow, and the worst part is, the ending and the climax don’t worth that waiting, The screenplay is very weak and it spoils the whole series, the director is not up to the mark and it looks amateur most of the time.
The only good thing about the series is its location, it looks so real and authentic, The BGM and music section are below average and it doesn’t give that thrilling vibe, I am still confused about the dialogues of the series, you are making the series for the Indian audiences and you are writing dialogues like this, I don’t know how makers and creators approved that.
I feel sad for the Arjun Rampal, he looks amazing in the series and he has given his all effort to make the series watchable but he fails most of the time and all credit goes to the poor writing, it is only the Arjun Rampal’s and Purab Kohli performance that makes the series little watchable, else there is nothing else to watch, Arjun Rampal looks amazing, he was so good during the dark sequences, Purav Kohli is a stunner in the series too.
Gopal Dutt was also brilliant, he adds major thumbs up to the series from the performance, Medha Rana was also good and she looks comfortable in her role, waiting to see her in some more series to get to see more of her performances.
I am going with 2 out of 5 stars for the series, I will suggest you to skip the series, the series Promises a lot in the beginning but delivers very little, even if you are a fan of Arjun Rampal, you are not going to enjoy it, If you still want to watch the series, You can have a look at it on the Voot.
