David vs Goliath

Warning: Spoilers
The Uphaar cinema tragedy and the subsequent legal battle fought by the Krishnamoorthy family was a clear case of David vs Goliath and this series is exactly here to highlight the David vs Goliath that exists in our system.

Rich powerful people commit mistakes and the blame falls on the rather lower caste people . They get away from court proceedings as the weaker ones keep fighting for justice . This series is not about an investigation into the Uphaar cinema tragedy but it is a showcase of the indomitable spirit of the Krishnamoorthys who fought for years to get justice but still failed .

The series is pretty well made. It follows a Sardar Udham style meaning it first shows us the aftermath then the tragedy at the end . Yes at times it gets a bit repetitive or slow, but overall, it's pretty well made one. I didn't really understand what Ashish Vidyarthi had to do in this series.

Time to time we are shown how our society differentiates between common and the VIPs. We get to see how a vip is given first hand evacuation from the cinemas while the common people battle their lives finding an exit. This is all the series wants to showcase, the gap between the vip and the commons.

A must watch series! Performances are terrific as well.
