If there is one format of entertainment that has surpassed all the conventional forms, it is none other than web series on OTT platforms. Web series has become the numero uno mode of entertainment as every episode comprises of ample number of twists and turns that make viewers glue to their TV screens. Recently a web series named Expiry Date in ZEE5 is capturing the attention of audiences all over the nation. It is directed by Shankar Marthand. Let’s see whether it has something new to offer or not.
Plot
Expiry Date stresses on the point that every relation in life has an end. It portrays the story of a youngster named Vishwa who is the CEO of an IT company. Even though Vishwa wants to live an ideal life, he comes to know that his wife cheats on him. He meets a woman who is cheated by her husband and the rest of the plot deals about what they do together in avenging the people who cheated them.
Analysis
Tony Luke has played the role of Vishwa with ease while Sneha Ullal has done justice to her character. Madhu Shalini’s Sujatha enters in the fifth episode. She got a meaty role as her character is well crafted with right mixture of emotions and sentiment. Ali Reza delights with his acting skill. Bharath Reddy’s performance as a police officer went overboard at times. Director Shankar Marthand became successful in infusing ample suspense and thrilling elements in the story. He was largely successful in running two stories parallel to each other. Though logic is missing, racy screenplay and atmospheric cinematography creates a gripping visual treat to the audiences.
