Delight for lovers of Anna, action & Bollywood masala
gituchora-5220519 November 2022
Firstly those rating it so lowly may not have watched the entire season. So they are bogus reviews. I binge watched all 10 episodes just now and absolutely loved Vivek Oberoi's acting, Sunil Shetty's performance, non stop action, excellent camera work and brilliant acting by the entire star cast. The background score and the overall cinematography keep you hooked to the narrative. Each character is shown to be justified in its doing and suffering. The show keeps you hooked throughout it's runtime. Very engaging plot. There's a sequel also coming next year. Can't wait for it. The only drawback, it is typical Bollywood action masala with nothing new to offer.

Finally Something to Watch Good Content in 2022
dharmeshpandya-5331128 November 2022
This series will make you drive the way Mumbai operates behind its great business image in the world.

Even if a person not from Mumbai or Maharashtra, will come to know why Mumbai is such a power in the country of INDIA...

This series will make KGF saying correct - "Powerful people comes from powerful places.. NOOOO... Powerful PEOPLE MAKES PLACES Powerful".

In largest slum of Asia, Big things are operated..!!

Very well written, edited and screenplay.

Actingwise, ALL have made thier best. Vivek Obroi and Anna (Sunil Shetty) at the TOP.

Never felt in the series to forward even once, But yes made backwards quite a few times for the dialogues and scenes :)

In whole - WORTH WATCHING - WAITING for S02 Its a MIRZAPUR (From MUMBAI)..!! :)

Watch for Sunil Shetty and Vivek Oberoi acting
amitmauryanew23 November 2022
Starting was slow but after watching all episodes u will like this web series. Sunil Shetty, Vivek Oberoi and other cast's acting was very good.

Definitely it's a must watch web series for Anna and Vivek Oberoi lovers.

Story is old type but you will love once started watching 1 by 1 episode. I hope second season will come soon.

If you have not seen Dharavi in real, then you can see in this web series.

Sometime you will fill it's slow, but it's a series not movie. Some seen was can cut and reduce this series in 8 part but overall in the end you will love if you are action lover.

Waiting for second season.

SUNIEL SHETTY ALL THE WAY
deepaksurana-0147124 November 2022
Suniel Shetty stands tall among all in this epic series. This is one of his best performances till date on par with his roles in Mohra, Gopi Kishan, Border, Krishna, Hera Pheri, Dhadkan and Main Hoon Na. His portrayal of Thalaivan is supreme. The plot, even though dragged at times, manages to keep the viewers engaged. Vivek Oberoi as always impresses in his role as the police officer. The others too have done their bit and make it a must watch series. The depiction of Dharavi is astounding. Kudos to the director, writer and the entire team. The first episode might seem slow but I urge viewers to continue watching as the series picks up pace with each episode.

Brilliant performance of suniel shetty
alijee321 November 2022
Dharavi Bank its all about Suniel shetty's 2nd innings .what a come back what a great performance he given in this series.i think more directors from b town now want to cast him in lead roles.

Samit kakad earns all credits to cast Suniel shetty and take out his inner brilliant acting skills.

Vivek also do a great job in the film as both actors already done 2 movies mission istanbul and shootout at lokhandwala.

Sonali kulkarni justify with her role.

Back ground music is pretty good and dilouges are very bold even you can't see this series with your parents .

People hope so samit will definately direct 2nd season of the series with main reason of the series to watch one and only Suniel Shetty.

Perfect binge watch
taha-5437123 November 2022
Don't go for negative reviews, perfect one time binge watch in crime genre.

Much needed. I found it very good. All the depiction of characters is perfect, cast is too good. Action and story are also on point. The action, gore and intensity is very much present since the beginning. Even the connection of characters is good. Suneil shetty has done a very good act so did Vivek Oberoi. The story always keep you on the edge and keeps you wondering what is going to happen next. Also kudos to Suneil Shetty for being in such a phenomenal shape in this age. I guess everyone should watch this series for once if they love crime genre.

The songs are nice and besutiful.
yijahef5 December 2022
Web Series characterisation was definitely unique so far and actor's performance is at peak . The role and acting is very good. This Series is a masterpiece. I would like to say that it is the best historical show yet made in India. The production design and the cinematography is excellent. Best performance is seen by the all star cast. The comic timing of the characters is perfect! They has nailed the character and she has become my favourite now. The humour in the movie is spot on!. Complete makeover of different shade of actor. The DOP work is in Hollywood style. It's very good Web Series to watch. Must give it a try for sure. Greatbshow. Full of powerful.

I watched the entire season in just one day and I found it excellent. The story is really good, the acting, character development, camera work and all.

I couldn't help but be impressed by the film. It had an amazing cast and was very well-written. Vivek Oberoi's performance is worth mentioning, as he played his character with a lot of finesse and depth.

This show is just so so.
abhijit-shrikhande10 January 2024
Dharavi Bank dives into the Mumbai slum's underbelly, following Thalaivan, a 30,000-crore gangster kingpin. Starring Suniel Shetty and Vivek Oberoi, the series presents a battleground of cops and criminals, but stumbles with overused tropes and sluggish pacing.

Shine in the Slum: Shetty and Oberoi steal the show. Their commanding presence and nuanced performances carry the story. Shetty's ruthless charisma and Oberoi's determined cop make for compelling adversaries, even amidst a predictable narrative.

Lost in the Chase: The cat-and-mouse game, despite good acting, loses its thrill after a while. Repetitive silences, drawn-out stares, and overlong episodes test the audience's patience. Tightening the edit and infusing more dynamic action sequences could have sustained the tension.

Dialogue Downfall: The writing lets the show down. The dialogues lack punch, failing to elevate the drama or flesh out the characters beyond their archetypes. This weakens the story's potential impact.

Verdict: Dharavi Bank shines with its actors but falters with its plot and pacing. If you're a die-hard fan of Shetty and Oberoi, or enjoy classic gangster flicks, you might find some entertainment here. But for those seeking fresh twists and well-crafted narratives, this labyrinth might not hold enough intrigue.

Improvements:

Stronger opening: Start with a more impactful scene to grab attention.

Conciseness: Tighten the pacing and dialogues to avoid dragging.

Character depth: Go beyond clichés and delve deeper into motivations.

Plot surprises: Introduce unexpected twists or dilemmas to keep viewers engaged.

Balance action and drama: Find a harmonious blend of thrilling action and character development.

Awesome series
arpit-1376025 November 2022
Awesome and super duper entertaining series. A must watch for all. Power packed performance by VIVEK OBERAI as JAYANT GAVASKAR and Thalaivan suniel Shetty Anna. Waiting for part 2. Full entertainment, thriller action and romantic scenes. Full maar dhaad . Mixture of crime, politics, gangsters, love triangle, revenge, past etc. Story of internal or external rivalry and many more. Vivek oberai was outstanding as always in action movies. It suits police officer role on him. Sonali played a very good role as chief minister of Maharashtra . Shakina was fantastic and justified her role. Michael was phinominal.

Casting, action and cinematography save the show
fahimibnesarwar1 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Sunil Shetty's web debut as a villain! The impression of age was evident on Sunil's face. But it has adapted well. Sunil was the perfect choice for the role of Thalaivan. Vivek Oberoi played perfectly as Police Commissioner opposite him. Gangster, police - these characters suit Vivek more.

There are many more characters. All are of considerable scope. The casting is very good with the combination of new and old actors. The weakness of the screenplay is somewhat covered by the good acting.

Especially the character of the Bengali butcher is quite interesting. The character of Shooter Joe was also quite challenging. Its not easy to play a double agent role.

Not worth watching it..
alwaysuachal19 November 2022
Wasted my 6hrs watching it.

Wouldn't recommend. Sunil shetty gave a tough performance. Apart from his acting the series didn't had much to offer. Weak script and story line.

Vivek Oberio performance was just too weak and wasn't impressive.

The supporting actors did a good job.

Definitely directors wanted to have part 2 coming thus there was no ending in this part of the series.

Next time please have a better story line with better performance.

Lastly, everyone reading this I am writing this review just after watching the entire 10 series episode , In one sentence please don't waste your time even watching it.

Excellent performance
akshitashukla-9912114 December 2022
Really great webseries. This is the best series I have watched in a while....

Blockbuster performance done by actors.

This is by far one of the best series I have ever watched. The acting was great and the story is gripping. Not to mention, the cinematography was superb.

I have watched the series on Sony mx player and I am watching it on ARRANGEMENT (Dharavi Bank) on MX Player, don't know why they're not uploading it to other players as of yet. But anyways. Loved Vivek Oberoi's acting, Sunil Shetty's performance, non-stop action and ensemble cast with excellent camera work and brilliantly written dialogues.

A Semi-interesting But Engaging Series 🙂
pritypoddar23 November 2022
Dharavi Bank is woven around the ruthless and powerful modus operandi of Dharavi based underworld, which is heavily interlinked with the business world, ruling state government, opposition and police force.

As per the series, Dharavi is also the storehouse of hundreds of crores of rupees aka a private self proclaimed money bank managed by the mafia.

The main plot is corny but it's well supported by enough well connected subplots enacted by an interesting star cast.

Suniel Shetty as the icy still unforgiving underworld don Thalaivan and Vivek Oberoi as the strategic bursting with anger JCP (eventually CP) Jayant Gavaskar are quite effective and bring the required star quotient on the screen.

Overall, it's a semi-interesting but engaging series with some nerve wrecking scenes and good cinematography of wide mesh of over populated narrow by lanes of Dharavi, one of the world's largest slums.

Considering the total content, the series name is slightly misleading. Also, the series lacks the required depth. It could have been made much better.

We definitely look forward to a better Season 2.

Great Concept, Great Performances But Poor Narration
IPyaarCinema5 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Review By Kamal K

Dharavi Bank is a twisted tale of politics, corruption, crime and revenge. Shetty as Thalaivan resembles Southern megastar Rajinikanth. Vivek Oberoi has played a police officer in the past, but his transformation for this role is praise-worthy.

Director Samit Kakkad has juxtaposed Dharavi's slums with the grandeur of Mumbai's skyscrapers, 5-star hotels and farmhouses. Dharavi Bank exposes the dark side of politics and its strong connections with the underworld. It is not just a single story but many sub-plots threaded into a single story.

But is that enough to grab the audience's attention? As previously stated, it is a twisted tale, but the twists are predictable. The series does not offer anything new, and things start to go down after the first few episodes. Overall, if you are a Suniel Shetty or Vivek Oberoi fan, you will enjoy their performance in the series, but it is a tale as old as time for the rest of us. Dharavi Bank sorely lacks the sort of narrative reserves that can fuel a compelling thriller. The assets at its disposal are anything but high-yielding instruments.

Worst worst
karthimkalaiselvan24 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Very worst narration. After showing the sunil shetty character like God father, then absolutely shown him like a joker. He doesn't know what's going on around him but still he is a Don. The director cooked the story like Curd Briyani. You you can think how it will look like. Apart from all of this he is moving the story with some irritating characters. If he wants to Show only the Vivek Oberoi character is powerful for that one episode is enough. Show Power full police officer shot the Don at point blank. All the following episodes are time waste. If he is going to prove himself in the next season means he still believes that he can make us like clowns.

Warning: Spoilers
Dharavi Bank is a continuation of the Mumbai Crime series and Vivek Oberoi is just spectacular playing the role of Inspector Khan. It is gripping, hard hitting and beautifully filmed. I had a tough time figuring out how to keep my eyes dry.

I am a huge Vivek Oberoi fan and I must say that he has outdone himself with this show. The story is gripping, the acting fabulous and it's just a fantastic show! This is one of the best series I have seen in years! I was so excited around episode 5 when I realized that this show was Hindi. I can't make it through long mx player series but this one is worth the time. The acting, story and music are fabulous! Unmissable!
