1704th BLOG POST -->>
Amol Parashar and Aahana Kumra are
one of the most frequent faces we can see in the web-series these days. Their
personalities and talent are also justified for the web series and they are
also able to carry it off quite excellently. I just ended up watching one of
their mini web-series from Viu team named “It Happened In Hong Kong”. Whenever
any Indian stuff is shot in overseas countries, there is an expectation from
story to be little different from our usual stories considering the foundation
of the story having two Indians meet in a strange country.
The web series is of only 4
episodes and it starts showing Aahana Kumra playing a travel blogger and
visiting Hong Kong with making notes simultaneously to update her blog later.
She meets Amol when she reaches out to a taxi and ends up sharing the cab with
him. Both of them like each other instantly and go for a coffee date and
finally agrees to visit the rest of their Hong Kong trip together and create
memories. The series is shot such that you will get a feel that you are
watching a travel vlog itself the way Mumbiker Nikhil shots his Youtube
content. The cinematographer justifies the locale beauty very excellently with
his camera.
Coming to the plot, the first and
the last episodes are the best whereas the 2nd part of 3rd
episode is also very defining. The script is written in a casual nature without
getting into too many dramatic or inspiring scenes. It is a simple story
showing how two people these days meet casually and ends up expecting more than
their relationships and ending up getting hurt and bad experience in the process.
But the way two characters are shown in a matured composition in the last episode
is wonderfully done. Talking about the performances, both- Aahana and Amol are
okay in their roles. Yes, there are naivety in their performances but with more
camera experience, they shall get better with their performances. Overall, this
is a light show with nothing very specific, unique or revolutionary. I rate
this one as 3 stars just because I liked the romantic angle of the whole
ambience that the series provided.
Thanks.
