Web series review: The Night Manager streaming on Disney+ Hotstar

Story:
A protagonist with a dark past, Shaan (Aditya Roy Kapur) is tasked by RAW to infiltrate the inner circle of a dangerous arms dealer Rungta (Anil Kapoor) who is masquerading as a philanthropist. A dangerous game then ensues which forms the crux of the plot.
What sets this webseries apart is the casting, absolutely bang on!!
Brilliant acting by Anil Kapoor as the ruthless Rungta, Saswata Chatterjee as Rungta's friend and right hand man, Tilotama Shome as the fiesty RAW agent, Lipika Saikia & Aditya Roy Kapoor are the highlight of the show. Shobhita Dhulipala too provides the oomph with some sizzling scenes !! Rukhsar & Ravi Behl are however wasted.
The story is a usual spy drama - nothing new there . The narrative though predictable at times is fast paced & engaging.
Another thing which suprised me was that only the 1st Part (with 4 episodes) is being streamed. Part 2 will stream somewhere in June 2023 . The makers could have easily released the entire web series consisting of 8 episodes at one go. Would have been great for viewers from the continuity perspective.
All said and done, this one's worth a dekho guys !! Watch it was some brilliant acting by the lead actors!!
Going with 3.5/5.. Adios 🙂!!
