October looks bright with a lot of festive season releases on OTT.
The series is held together by a superbly astute performance by Gagan Dev Riar, who moves from cheerful conman to menacing criminal with remarkable skill, observes Deepa Gahlot.
'Our analysis of success, like failure, is so reductive and so one dimensional that we don't look at the bigger picture.'
'Suvinder Vicky in Kohrra. Manoj Bajpayee in Joram. Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub in Joram and Scoop. Gagan Dev Riar in Scam 2003. Sukant Goel in Kaala Paani.' 'The number of awards will not be enough for the kind of work that has happened this year.'
'The challenging part was when I did not have a penny in my pocket and I was doing theatre.' 'I had to sometimes travel without a train ticket to go for rehearsals.' 'Those times were really hard on my family and me.' 'But my parents would say, "Never give up. Just keep following your dreams. Do what you dream about but when you do that, do that with great honesty and great commitment".'
