Review of Taali

Taali (2023– )
3/10
Story is inspiring but is lacking in the execution.

I can't really put my finger on one thing, but the series has numerous little, but significant, problems. Some of the issues could be simply bad decisions, like casting a pubescent female as child Gauri. Ganesh was born a boy, who had typical male physicality (still has), then why on earth would one cast a girl in the role?! Then there are the awful wigs! First the child artist, then young adult Ganesh, who also has breasts for crying out loud! How could the makers and lead star let such blunders pass??!! The dialogue delivery in many places felt unnatural. The family dynamics needed to be explored more. Flashback style of storytelling was feeling stale after a point. There are several unexplained periods in Ganesh's life, such as his first 7 years in Mumbai. Sushmita Sen's performance is good, but sadly is diminished due to the bad hair and makeup.
