“Our protagonist, Parth, is one such teenager who fails in his exams and is now in the same class as his bright, sassy younger brother.

Nail Polish (Zee5)
Starring Arjun Rampal, Manav Kaul , Rajit Kapur, Anand Tiwari
Written & Directed by Bugs Bhargava Krishna
Nail Polish is a very ambitious film. The writing is original, startling and sometimes disturbing in its graphic description of gruesome murderous moves and its depiction of a psychological state known as Dissociative Identity Disorder. To carry Veer Singh, and the complex plot that supports his character, to its dismaying dead end, is a task worthy of a seasoned director.

In spite of the often awkward direction, Nail Polish nails it…almost. There are many unanswered questions at the end. But the polished spin that...
