I love the story and all of the performances done by the actors. I respect the director and writer of this movie for mentioning the Myanmar crisis. I recently noticed Bollywood movies started using our country's names in their movies. Sometimes in a good way and sometimes in a bad way.
It's kind of strange that they used a lot of misinformation about our country in this serious. I personally request them to do some research before giving any information about a country.
Last year I watched a movie performance by akshay kumar . In the movie, they talked about our war with Pakistan in a perspective that is totally wrong.

It's been a while since I saw the hollywood version. So without hollywood bias I am writing this.
The original source is very smartly adapted into this Indianized version. Infact, I am impressed how the writers very subtly integrated current affairs into the events of the original source. It is also very well casted. I am loving the understated Aditya Kapoor is bringing to this character. Even Anil Kapoor who is famous for making his characters larger than life and sometimes louder than life (slumdog millionaire) has been keeping it very nuanced and thus adding to the menace. It feels more natural. I am not going to say anything about Shobhita Dhulipala because so far she hasn't been given much to do but the next part looks promising for her. Saswata Chatterjee is terrific as always and brings much needed comic relief in this dark methods. This is the first time I am watching Tilotama Shome and I am really enjoying her performance. I really hope she has a scene of banter with Saswata Chatterjee in next part.
It's so refreshing to hear good dialogues after such a long time. First Farzi and now this series is proof of how dialogues can make or break a scene. Also special mention to the title sequence. I didn't skip intro even once. Production design is top notch. They've really put their money into this. Great work behind the camera too except for a few out of focus sequences.
Where this series isn't working out for me is the pacing. A little too much breathing room is given to some scenes. Editing can be more snappy and the entire setup could've been an episode shorter. Shobita's character could've been given more to do, her backstory could've been explored instead of some other elements. Music is forgettable. But the most unforgivable mistake is marketing. Literally no one knows about this series. Is hotstar not confident about this series?
All that said, I am glad they picked this source and it looks great so far. I'll be watching the next part.

The series is very good. Connecting all the event and its like those series which people love to finish in one shot.
But there are some unrealistic events those could make this series more realistic like 1- this night manager is doing everything for random 14 years old girl guest who was killed by her local gangster husband. This is a series not a movie you can add up 20 more min to show some realistic connection between this night manager and that guest or this girl guest could be her some relative or something else so he will have a strong revenge motive.
2-Again itna bada don and those 3-4 peron with small pistols kidnapped his son in a party.
3- we suddenly came to know shelly's wife doesn't know about shelly's criminal activity. There could be 5 min scene to prove this.
4- why night manager was continuously taking picture of shelly's bedroom office pics from his son's phone. He never used those pics anywhere 5- why lipika is so eagerly behind in shelly. Nobody knows this
Anyways series is awesome. I am waiting for its next part.

The story is great. It never gets boring. There is always something to expect.
This series I feel was more focused on the details of the story than on action sequences. I hope that is not the reason people go and check this series.
I didn't know this was a remake when I watched it so I ended up enjoying it. This kind of also raises some questions on some moral things.
// Spoiler from here Overall this involves a hotel manager slowly getting involved in reporting an illegal arms trade. He slowly gets information but later also agreed to work with the government.
// Spoiler till here
Some of the moments are well written. I found them quite clever.
Overall must see in theatres.😂 Just kidding.

Web series review: The Night Manager streaming on Disney+ Hotstar
#sanjuzzreviews #TheNightManagerOnHotstar #AnilKapoor #AdityaRoyKapur #DisneyPlusHotstar
Story:
A protagonist with a dark past, Shaan (Aditya Roy Kapur) is tasked by RAW to infiltrate the inner circle of a dangerous arms dealer Rungta (Anil Kapoor) who is masquerading as a philanthropist. A dangerous game then ensues which forms the crux of the plot.
What sets this webseries apart is the casting, absolutely bang on!!
Brilliant acting by Anil Kapoor as the ruthless Rungta, Saswata Chatterjee as Rungta's friend and right hand man, Tilotama Shome as the fiesty RAW agent, Lipika Saikia & Aditya Roy Kapoor are the highlight of the show. Shobhita Dhulipala too provides the oomph with some sizzling scenes !! Rukhsar & Ravi Behl are however wasted.
The story is a usual spy drama - nothing new there . The narrative though predictable at times is fast paced & engaging.
Another thing which suprised me was that only the 1st Part (with 4 episodes) is being streamed. Part 2 will stream somewhere in June 2023 . The makers could have easily released the entire web series consisting of 8 episodes at one go. Would have been great for viewers from the continuity perspective.
All said and done, this one's worth a dekho guys !! Watch it was some brilliant acting by the lead actors!!
Going with 3.5/5.. Adios 🙂!!
