Web sequence Sunflower, additionally the title of the housing society it chooses to heart its erratic homicide thriller plot round, tries to mix parts of humour with drama that finally ends up being neither compelling nor fulfilling. Throughout the eight-episode run, the main focus retains shifting from one character to a different with none fascinating hook for the viewers to lean into. Sure, chances are you’ll select to name them quirky, however actually, they’re simply uninteresting and an finish results of half-hearted characterisation.
At the guts of Sunflower is a homicide thriller that will get issues rolling and brings the eye on a bunch of residents in a Mumbai co-operative society. Sonu (Sunil Grover) and Mr. Ahuja (Mukul Chaddha) turn out to be the highest suspects and are beneath the police radar for his or her odd behaviour. But the buddy cop duo DG (Ranvir Shorey) and Chetan Thambe (Girish Kulkarni) hold chasing pink herrings till the final 30-odd minutes or so of the runtime, making you query if the case is in succesful arms or not. You’ll end up eager to resolve the ‘who killed’ query greater than the makers or the regulation enforcement.
Characters are forcibly launched for probably the most half to stretch the plot additional and additional and cram in humour. This retains main the viewers into the partitions. We are continuously served with Sunil Grover’s unwell makes an attempt at delivering outdated, cellphone jokes with little or no sincerity. When he’s on a break from that, he turns to slapstick, which is much more disappointing because the conditions are simply too bland. Looking again, there are fonder recollections of his comedian characters on TV. Here he’s a horrible misfit, simply as Sonu is in his environment.
For a thriller that ought to warrant unwavering consideration, Sunflower is consistently distracting and sub-standard. You won’t remorse sitting this one out.
