Recently I started watching a TV series named Farzi getting popular on Amazon Prime. Nowadays it takes a lot of guts and immense determination to initiate watching something which has a footage period of more than 30 seconds (regards: Tiktok and Instagram). Interestingly YouTube too succumbed to the pear pressure and started the 'Shorts' format, letting me to imagine who are we in comparison to these multinationals to sustain the pressure of competition heralded mostly by our dear relatives.
Now at this stage i would like to admit that the first thing which propelled me to watch this series was itself the YouTube/Instagram shorts( just to be clear that i don't hold any grudge against the changing nature of addictions with the latest entry being 'Reels' of all sort of non useful mundane but captivating activities, though I daily take a determination pledge to avoid them at any cost). I don't find anything more addictive than these shorts/reels which are deflecting you from yours goals, which anyhow you have no idea about. Further these are more contagious than any disease or virus that you may have heard about, leaving Covid-19 apart, just because of its celebratory status and no consequential control on it despite the government restrictions as usual, just in a similar manner like my daily resolutions. These shorts and Instagram reels are shared in such quantities on a daily manner to their gullible audience putting the mother's love to shame all around the world. Though these days the love for dogs has already been established as a category to challenge the same.
Now without disgressing anymore from the topic of Farzi, the TV series, I find it quite likable in many senses. First their strategy to share mostly the shorts of 'Michael', virtually the antagonist of storyline though a law enforcement agent viewed with awe and pity at the same time.It has been a common theme these days in TV series to portray their law enforcement agents entangled more in their daily life problems than they could ever have been for the cause of the country. Plus it has always been pretty convenient to leave the main villain alone of the daily life problems as if he has never been married in all these TV series. This concept of non married Villain has been imprinted so firmly in our minds since childhood, in the form of 'Mogambos', Shakaals, and 'Gabbars', almost coercing us the current generation to spend our lives single, given the exuberance of these great people.
Now coming to Michael, he with his crude hindi accent and the subtle art of not giving a fuck has proved to be a champion for this series. It has proved to be wise for these series makers to rope in the best talent from across the India as has been seen in last many series, and they are literally doing the service to the acting community. Shahid Kapoor is also doing good in the acting department as he has mastered the art of portraying a disheveled and desperate person which may not be very far from his acting status. The girl with the round face Rashi khanna seen earlier also in some good works and not ready to marry under family pressure has also acted naturally for whatsoever reasons.
For now that is all i have to say about it as I have not watched the series completely, but had the urge to pen down these inconsequential thoughts. I may have disappointed you in some sense but given the quality of content that you go through on a daily basis, you wouldn't have much to complain apart from the time in excess to 30 seconds that you wasted here.
