Recent Indian OTT series have shown a lot of affinity towards British series first was Cheat remake as Mithya and now Luther as Rudra. Unfortunately, both lacked originality that makes them deficient.
Rudra an official remake of Luther which falls flat from the word go. I barely managed to sit through the first 3 episodes and they are exact copy of the original. The dialogues are simply translated to Hindi from English and they do not make any impact but essentially sound silly.
Ajay Devgan fails to display the intensity of Idris Alba. Acting is pretty bad for most of the characters and sometimes even over the top. I fail to understand what Esha Deol is doing in this series neither she can act nor deliver the discourse. The screenplay and the direction is shoddy and the passion and aggression that was an essential ingredient of the original series is missing.
Those who haven't seen Luther might enjoy Rudra.
I would request the Indian OTT makers to stick to the original scripts as Rudra is neither original not fetching.
