Ziddi Ishq is a messy, unhinged revenge drama that’s far and wide, observes Divya Nair.

Ziddi Ishq, because the title, suggests is a romantic-revenge OTT collection directed by Raj Chakraborty.

Mehul (performed by Aaditi Pohankar) is a schoolgirl, who has a secret crush on her trainer, Shekhar Dutta (performed by Parambrata Chatterjee).

After Shekharda commits suicide, Mehul dedicates her life to take care of his ailing mom.

When she realises that Shekharda was wrongly accused of molesting his ex-girlfriend and colleague Mehul, she takes it on herself to seek out out what actually occurred.

Because the story of Ziddi Ishq progresses, you will notice Mehul’s one-sided love flip into obsession, and anger.

 

Although Mehul’s persona transformation is intense, Aaditi Pohankar’s restricted vary of performing and expressions fail to seize the innocence of her teenage crush.

The supporting solid, together with Riya Sen and Barkha Bisht, herald a good quantity of thriller and battle, however the story itself is not partaking sufficient to binge on.

As a substitute of constructing pleasure, the gradual tempo will make you marvel if Mumbai’s site visitors is simpler to outlive.

With the introduction of every character, the story travels forwards and backwards, including a brand new pointless element or dimension as you curiously wait to uncover the reality.

Once you get to the tip of the twists and the ultimate reveal, you realise each minute you invested on this mediocre rollercoaster has been so futile.

Apparently, it isn’t Parambrata, however Sumeet Vyas who delivers an impeccable efficiency because the start-up baron with a darkish previous.

In the meantime, Aaditi masters the motion sequences and manages to look easy and fierce within the later sequence.

Riya Sen’s overacting may effectively be forgiven as a personality flaw as a result of the script has larger issues to take care of.

The remainder of the solid stumble to seek out their groove on this messy, unhinged revenge drama that’s far and wide.

Would I like to recommend spending your weekend on seven episodes of this khichdi? Skip please, when you can.
