Virkar (2021– ) User Reviews

GREAT STORY BUT AVERAGE ACTING - one time watch

[fatnaniashish · 6/10 · 12 March 2021]

The story is a typical James hardly chase kind of story so I like the plot. It has also been indianised. I wish the acting and graphics were a bit better.

Pros

Good story Good looking cast Plus an interesting twist

Cons

Bad acting specially by Prateik babbar. Bad animation (common India we need to up our game on crime graphics and hackers ) Bad comedy 🤣

Overall I would still watch it since it is a thriller.

Funny thing

How does Virkar sleep on the small ship and have six packs while drinking alcohol. He pretends and it's so obvious. But overall a good one time watch

Engaging fast faced thriller.. average cast!!

This thriller web series based on Piyush Jha's novel " The AntiSocial Network" is all about cyber crimes, cryptocurrency, dark web, date rape, murders and a poor mumbai cop, inspector Virkar ( a confused and bewildered looking Pratik Babbar caught in the middle of this zhamela).

Hey... before you jump to the conclusion that the series is trash, I would like to tell you that the series is actually very fast paced and decently engaging even with its flaws and predictability.

Babbar has a fantastic physique, but too much attention is given to his body and to be honest he isnt a great actor. Kunal Khemu did a much better job in the Web Series Abhay.

With something or the other happening in every episode, the pace doesnt slacken one bit throughout the length of the series . Also, Short episodes of around 30 mins each make it a good binge watch option.

Among the cast, Ashish Vidhyarthi and the late Asif Basra are good in their respective roles, however the rest including Simran Kaur Mundi are not so great. Casting is one of the flaws in this series.

All in all, not too bad as a one time watch ...adios :-)

Awesome

Review: Cast & Character: Prateik Babbar was Killing in Virkar's Character. Shiv Pandit is playing negative role but his role was too short. Supporting cast like Ashish Vidhyarti, Gopal Datt, Simran Kaur were brillant. Story: Till 5th Episode story was Amazing & Intresting & Thrilling. After 5th Episode Story was little dull. Crew: Direction, Story & Screenplay was good Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The last bullet

[kissstoler28 · 7/10 · 16 March 2021]

Its a mix match showing how money is being priortize then love, life or person in this modern world. Gave 7 star because of the last bullet.

Wow!Another masterpiece from mx player!

[shreydholakia · 8/10 · 12 March 2021]

U should definitely give it a try to this series. Yes it's more edge seat thriller till 6 episodes after that u will not get ending what you want. The ending of this series is not satisfying,but it's definitely a one time watch.

Good one time watch

[Tamashha · 6/10 · 18 March 2021]

IF you could bare the non acting skills and extremely poor dialogue delivery of Prateek Babbar, this is a good one time watch thriller. Prateek Babbar's dialogue deliver and poor acting skills ruin the otherwise a good series.

Worst series I ever watch

[mrtarunsaraswat · 1/10 · 13 March 2021]

Don't waste your time. No story . Showing hack is so easy thing.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Now that's called mistry series.

[amit-15858 · 10/10 · 12 March 2021]

The series contained realistic natural of our society and Prateik sir done great work and realistic acting as well.

It's worthy to watch for once

[kevinajudiya · 7/10 · 14 March 2021]

Prefer to watch it only when u hv nothing left to watch.....one time watch...good time pass😀

It is a chakravyuh

[sameerlodaya · 4/10 · 12 March 2021]

The character vir is running from one pillar to another

The series is of 8 episodes and it is fully stretched with only dirty killings...the direction was just ordinary the story is nothing new

Pratik babbar could not carry the series in a lead role he was looking very fluppy and was walking like Robert some scenes he dint act and in some he has overacted

Watch it only if u have no other option

Could be better

[bhupinder_sidhu · 6/10 · 5 April 2021]

This series spoiled by bad acting & weak screenplay. I think Prateek isn't the right choice of inspector virkar role instead if this was played by actor like Ronit Roy then this could be a different level series. You can easily guess the real culprit in the beginning.

Jma bakwaas

[harmindersinghit · 1/10 · 13 March 2021]

Jma Bakwaas, Time waste. No story No acting, every-time cop is going in wrong direction, No storyline

Series Wasted

[manishverma-94713 · 6/10 · 13 March 2021]

Story was excellent but the acting was pathetic. poor direction but still it holds you. one time watch

Amazing

[yuvrajthakur-62193 · 10/10 · 6 April 2021]

It Is fantastic to see a series with such a new type of script with great acting.

Nice concept but need to improve

[noughtravi · 7/10 · 19 March 2021]

Every time Prateek babbar's dialogue delivery sounds like he is suffering from constipation.Story is good but actors needs to step up ,one time watch with skips

A waste of time. Just avoid.

[hrhkalways · 1/10 · 31 March 2021]

Its ridiculous how such series are allowed to go live. Isn't there anyone in their team who could have told them the truth? Its ridiculous. And Prateik babbar has either not being well directed or I don't know what to say...he I thought had great potential...but off late the few movies and then this series that I am series are pretty disappointing. He is looking funny in this. Sad to see him reduced to this. I really wish him well and hope he is taken up by a good director.

Cheap shoddy copy of Abhay

[discerninguser · 1/10 · 19 March 2021]

This is such a lousy and mediocre series that I couldn't watch it beyond 3 episodes.

The main character looks like a gigolo with his over tight clothes, rather than a cop. The makers have desperately tried to make him look cool, but failed miserably.

This wannabe Sherlock Holmes is supposed to visualise the crime by looking at the crime scene; but none of his deductions are actually brilliant. They are what any average cop would make, without all the fuss.

Clearly Pratiek Babbar can't act to save his life. Nor does he have the looks or charisma. His idea of being intense is to speak in a husky whisper all the time.

They even made him show his muscular body in every frame they could. This ridiculous guy is supposed to live in a small wooden boat, where he spends his nights bare-bodied drinking with a revolver in his hand.

Pls don't watch this crap.

Not good

[shallthankyou · 1/10 · 5 April 2021]

Waste of time.. story of a dumb police ..& acting is worse.

It's Good

[rikenpatel-02979 · 8/10 · 20 May 2021]

This Web Series Did Good Performance. Specially Prateik Babbar & Gopal Dutt & Shiv Panditt & Simran Mundi.

Looks no retake

[jaydeeptiwari · 1/10 · 18 March 2021]

After watching this I feel I should be director at least I can direct better than this guy Also I am confused whether it was Prateek Babbar or Saif Ali khan anyway acted equally bad

Chakravyuh

[IPyaarCinema · 5/10 · 19 March 2021]

Review By Kamal K

It is a thriller with a straightforward story following all the formulas of the genre. To be more precise, it is on the lines of Luther. It is not a copy, but it is a routine line that one might have seen many times.

The opening of the series is instantly intriguing and takes us in to the narrative very quickly. We are then brought back to our senses soon as the tackiness take over. The one on one conversation between the inspector and his superior officer is an example. Then there is the pizza-eating forensic expert.The characterisation is not wrong, but the way it's executed is the problem. It is a visible formula in such thriller narratives involving police and crime. But, the presentation is where it all differs.

The second half of the eight-episode series is comparatively better concerning the story, but the persisting issues with tacky execution and lack of gripping quality never let us feel the impact.

The ending is alright and on an expected line. But, the interest is lost at that time. The feeling one gets at the end is that the whole narrative could be made compactly into a movie as a thriller. The extra length only highlights the weak suspense.

Overall, Chakravyuh is a routine thriller that has a decent premise. But, it fails to engage due to weak execution and writing. Give it a try if you like the genre and don't mind watching anything using fast-forward option.

Had all the elements to make this wonderful but execution failed

[cseabhi · 4/10 · 24 March 2021]

The worst thing about this web series was Ashish Vidyarthi being wasted. Such a talented and legendary actor should have been given more space.

And good thing about the show? Perhaps nothing.

Chakravyuh is not actually a bad web series but pretty average one. It would take real effort to go past first couple of episode.

It's a story about serial murder and Virkar(Prateik Babbar) is a hot-blooded cop and is investigating the case.

Sadly the execution of the murder mystery is not done properly. Many scenes are too predictable. There were things present, characters etched well and couple of good actors but the execution falls flat. There were so many elements like hacking, digital currency which should have been dealt with better screenplay and writing. If properly executed, this web series could have been much superior.

The visuals in the web series seems dated to me as well as the body language of actors.

Prateik Babbar, the main lead appears so stiff and can hardly gives any expression. He tried so hard to appear different but is not totally convincing. He delivers an okay performance.

Simple

[ayonbhunia · 4/10 · 8 October 2021]

Simple,Normal,Repititive,Average Acting ,weak dialogues....with same stories.

Worst Story and police investigation ever saw

[freetofitcom · 1/10 · 14 March 2021]

The story is worst and the way they investigate the criminal is foolish. I don't understand why they put poor comedy in crime series. They presented doctor for some comedy but believe me it is irritating and show the lack of direction. Grow up director/writer, people are now smart enough.. they don't like b grade drama.

Story was good...Bad acting from Lead Actor

[dixitjoshi-71709 · 5/10 · 16 March 2021]

Web series was very well written with twists but Pratik Babbar's Acting was too bad. He is only better in villain or drug disordered person. Bad dialogue Delievery. If you ignore it then it's one time watch.
