Dial 100-A thriller on a predictable path
Dial 100 on Zee5
Cast-Neena Gupta,Manoj Bajpayi, Sakshi Tanwar,Svar Kamble
A strange call from a mysterious woman(Neena Gupta) to the Police emergency control room turns Sr.PI Nikhil Sood's(Manoj Bajpayi)life upside down as he grapples with trying to handle the calls,figuring out the identity of the woman and to save his family.
So far so good.But what starts off as an edge of the seat thriller, soon turns into very predictable fare.The suspense element and motive revealed too soon making it just a regular cat and mouse game with some very unconvincing situations and ultimately leading to a very chaoctic and unsatisfactory climax.As if the writer and director lost way after a point and didn't know how to conclude.
If a crime/suspense thriller doesn't have a conclusive ending or a very convincing open ending,then it makes you feel very cheated as if going on a wild goose chase.And Dial 100,like many other webseries and web movies these days,does just that.
On top of that Manoj Bajpayi's method style of acting with measured pauses and expressions gets on the nerves at times when all you need is fast action.
With very interesting and intriguing looking promos and performers like Neena Gupta, Manoj Bajpayi and Sakshi Tanwar Dial 100 could have been more than just an average thriller which it finally settles down to be.
