Mai, a Netflix original series featuring an impactful performance by Sakshi Tanwar, accomplishes attention but the script challenges your tolerance for something significant to unfold. Sakshi Tanwar, the six-episode show, strongly reminded us of Sridevi’s Mom, in which she murders numerous guys who molested her daughter. On Twitter, viewers have handed the show a mixed reviews.

A saddened mother discovers that her daughter’s death was not a tragedy, but rather a murder, and she reluctantly enters a sinister world of medical frauds and crooked politics in search of truths. Atul Mongia is the director and co-writer of this six-part crime drama, which he co-wrote with Tamal Sen and Amita Vyas, who draw to life the mother-daughter duo’s misery and several political and other angles.

Let’s have a look at the Twitter review:

Storyline

Sakshi (Sheel) portrays a middle-class mother who experiences her daughter’s tragedy by a rushing truck in Mai. The misfortune drives the devastated mother to explore her daughter’s death. As Sakshi (Sheel) discovers that her daughter was not killed accidentally, the tale becomes further intertwined. There’s a healthcare scam going on, and we find Jawahar and his mistress Neelam (portrayed by Raima Sen) involved in what appears to be a money-laundering fraud. To make it much more complicated, there is a slew of SPF agents looking into the swindle being moved by guys from one state to another.

Mai Review: Script Analysis

The six episodes, spanning over six hours, take us to numerous pointless places and conclude on a void situation, building the stage for a second season, which I hope is not as inexpertly crafted as the one presently airing. Sadly, it’s a poorly written tease of a screenplay that challenges your tolerance for something significant to unfold. Whatever little intrigue it creates fades in the face of a monotonous pace.

Mai Review: Star Performance

Sakshi Tanwar, who portrays a heartbroken mother who soon goes from modest to unforgiving following the dreadful tragedy, is simply astounding and dominates the frame. Other characters, like Vivek Mushran, act admirably as catalysts. Wamiqa Gabbi Anant Vidhaat Raima Sen  Ankur  Seema Pahwa, Prashant Narayan, and Vaibhav Raj Gupta Everybody attempts their finest to give the best in Mai, but the majority of the personalities are wasted in translation.

Mai Review: Direction & Music

The newbie directors Atul Mongia, and Anshai Lal, who made their directorial bow with ‘Phillauri’ managed to pull exemplary acts from the cast. However, all of its various characters, despite being represented by a talented cast, are ultimately just sketches that lack insight or depth due to poor writing.

Mai wants your focus and emotional engagement. Mai is an emotional but distressing journey. The production design, costumes, as well as the soundtrack helps to make the entire event apparent. For a drama that begins on a bright note and then grows a lot murky in later episodes, which is something some Web series do so very routinely.
