Patal Lok Reviews
This one of the best series on Amazon so far keeps you glued from the very first episode. If you are someone who prefers multi-tasking while watching movies and series then let me tell you that this series is just not meant for you. The beauty of this series lies in the small and minute details, if you happen to miss one you will be lost.
The series has been rated as 18+ due to the use of abusive language and sexual violence sciences. The series very well shows the dark side of the enforcement of law and establishes a relationship between media, politics and crime.
Though there is a minimal conversation between the characters through dialogues, their expressions, eye and body language creates the magic. The show somewhere down the line is based upon the Tarun Tejpal's (ex-Tehelka editor-in-chief) book 'The Story of My Assasins'.
Within the nine episodes of the series, you are taken on a journey to all the three different worlds only to make you realize that all that glitters is not gold. You will clearly make out that the so-called 'Swarg' is not at all great and neither all the citizens of the Patal Lok are creepy.
Jaideep Ahlawat's acting is cherry on the cake and steals the show away!
