#sanjuzzreviews Samantar -Marathi Web series streaming on MX Player

Samantar is a tale of mystery and intrigue, intricately woven with a tinge of supernatural; making it an interesting watch.

What if someone's past is the future that you are going to live !!! Scary tagline indeed !!

A loser , Kumar (Swapnil Joshi), frustrated with his life is taken by his friend to a Swamiji to know his future. Upon reading his palm , the Swamiji tells him that he has seen an indentical case around 30 yrs ago and their fates are interlinked. That persons past is going to be the future that Kumar is going to live . Strange events start happening in his life that set him on a quest to locate that person,Sudarshan Chakrapani and gain a better understanding about misfortunes faced by him throughout his life. Does such a person actually exist? Will Kumar's life change for the better or not, forms the rest of the story.

Finally a decent web series in marathi without the usual preachiness. Very well directed by Satish Rajwade , who has given us gems in the past like Asambhav. The very first episode sets the tone perfectly and maintains it throughout its run. Good Production value , awesome acting by Swapnil Joshi , Tejaswini Pandit , Nitish Bharadwaj and the others keep you engrossed throughout.

A treat for lovers of the thriller genre for sure. Short episodes also make it an ideal weekend binge watching option. Go watch it if you havent already!!
