Watch cartel and decide, don't listen others.

Full kadak.

What a wonderful web series, drastic change in episode 13 and 14 .

Superb performances action packed scens full kadakkk.

Cartel follows the story of five familygang rivalry. Here are the positives and negatives: Acting:acting is top notch here. Jitendra joshi, supriya pathak, subhrajyoti barat, anil george etc hv given epic performances. But the show goes to rhitvick dhanjani. He has shown a range of acting here. Hothead, aggressive, vulnerable everything is so perfect. The cast has done a stellar job.

Screenplay and script:the writing is superb. Detailed writing and tight screenplay. The screenplay is engaging enough to keep u hooked till last.

Bgm:the bgm is good but irritable. There so many sequences that required silence but there was an overuse of bgm. Specially the middle episodes hv loud music which is irritating.

Family dynamics: this show does this job wonderfully. The family dynamics is well written and portrayed. There r certain sequences which r beautifully done.

Humour:there r many sequences of humour but those r hits and misses. Only jitendra joshi shines in the comic scenes. Others fail miserably. Overuse of bgm killed it too.

Camerawork:the the camerawork is superb. Specially there is one onetake action sequence which is well choreographed and shot.

Cinematography: the cinematography is commendable too. The wide range shots, close up shots work really well.

Length:it is a lengthy show .could hv avoided some subplots.

Overall it is easily one of the best altbalaji shows. I rate it 8 out of 10.

All characters have done their best. One reviewer is there who rated this show 1 star by just watching 2 episodes as it has too much abusive language, he was expecting to learn some yoga skills in a gangster series.

Nice. Best web series go and watch phool and final isab.

It's out an out Tanuj show.... Nice story...one time watchable.... Tanuj and jitendra joshi work is very good...

That's how you make an indian gangster/thriller series !!!!!!!

Have never been a big fan of Ekta Kapoor... but this series has changed my perception. Full credit to the director as well. What a watch.

Good story telling, must watch,, want second season.

This Web Series Did Excellent Performance. Specially Tanuj Virwani & Jitendra Joshi & Rithvik Dhanjani & Girija Oak Godbole & Monica Dogra & Samir Soni and All Cast of Series Did Outstanding Acting.

This is an absolute mediocre and average show. Some people giving it 9 or out of 10 shows the mediocrity and lack of good taste of Indian audience.

I mean whats wrong with this makers?? So much non sense scenes. So much bad words. Aggressive sexual scenes... Left the series at the second episode. A big let down.

Oh boy boy what a series thrilling,suspense,action,comedy,emotion etc etc ....eagerly waiting for Part 2......What a ppwerful performance from all cast.💯🔥🔥🔥✊🏻💪🏻👍🏻

One of The best crime And Action thriller After Sacred Games And Mirzapur This The Top Class Series I Ever Seen... Specially Acting Of Jitendra Joshi its Just Outstanding Dailouges BY him.... Just Love it..❤❤❤

Everything is just amazing. After a long time i am satisfied by this series. Everyone's acting place was preciously balanced and mature. Screenplay and the story followed the rule serially as well.

After mirzapur any series is there then it's this one 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

In times where south indian movie stars are rocking box offices here comes a masterpiece from the underdogs of Bollywood and marathi industry telling how a gangster saga is made Its just mumbai version of mirzapur with a whole world of another gangster aspects.

Take 1: Two episodes and you cannot go further. Such poor unconvincing dialogues, pathetic scene setups.

Take 2: Some characters have nailed it and some have failed. Rani mai's hype but to substance could be seen. Abhay's character had unconvincing overtone of the slang. Other powerful gang leaders seemed to be nothing. Character balance was missing. At the same time, Madhu stile the entire series. Major was convincing.

Fantastic storyline and weak execution. Some parts of the series were very good and some pathetic. Rerating from 2 to 6.

Kya hero ko casting kiya in logone . Hum to ek hi bar me fan bangeye. Tanuj bhai . Orf Major bhau. 🙏 Series aa6a laga.

Waiting for 2nd part.

Anwar Says : ALTBalaji keep on dropping long crime thrillers and CARTEL is the new drop, a 14 episode long web drama. 1972 Coppola GODFATHER is still in the mind of Indian Directors and you would like this series due to familiar cast and it's super fast pace .

Every episode starts with a murder and in the later part it's story unveils . The top lead Supriya Pathak goes into coma in the very first episode and comes into action at the end of tenth, which is quite late . Tanuj Virwani as Arjun , is the only suave character and carries the episodes successfully on his soldier. His brother Madhu , played by Jitendra Joshi impresses with his comic timing and first act then think approach. Ritwik Dhanjani as Abhay Angrey tried to do aka Anil Kapoor and even shouts ' rawas' quite often as Anil's 'Jhakas'.

In female characters, Monica Dogra as honeytrap has been quite effective . Samir Soni also fits in his cast . Concept of Ekta Kapoor and direction of Prashant Bhagia is crisp and the audience can't resist to switch over to next episode. Background Score carries on with the speed of narrative and dialogues are mostly of mumbaiya style, in consonance with the script. Second season has been already announced by the characters.

Find time to watch the series in three evenings, you won't be disappointed.

Seriously time waster.. you will realise once you finish the past episode.. Same concept, very basic narration and same kind of acting by the stars which you have seen several times.

One of the best series I have seen.

Everybody justified their role.

Just finished all 14 episodes in a single go. What a fabulous movie based on Gang war.. The character of Madhu bhau(Jitendra Joshi) & Major Arjun Angre(Tanuj Virwani) completely steals the show.

Fantastic mind blowing suprb out standing ..
