Being a Goenkar, the Margao in title made me download the Waves app and watch
the web-series with intent to binge. Sadly, I couldn't. It is that bad and
boring!!
Margao Files starts with death of the local biggie (Bharat Dhabolkar) with the
needle of suspicion moving towards each of his dysfunctional family members. A
few more mortals turn dead meat within a short while (three episodes) by which
I decided to call it quits...
Zeenat Aman, still graceful as ever, plays the dead dude's wifey. She is
surrounded by a bevy of feisty elegant ladies like Pallavi Joshi, Suchitra
Krishnamoorti, Pervin Dastur, Kitu Gidwani and of course Mahabanoo Mody-Kotwal.
You expect fireworks... sorry, there ain't any!! The screenplay is too muddled
and sluggish to give them any scope.
Moreover, everyone speaks in such heavily accented English that it borders on
hamming and gets jarring after a point. The makers possibly, don't know Goa was
once ruled by the Portuguese and not the British!!
I won't rant too much... most of you probably don't even know this series
landed. Even my fellow Goenkars. Just stay away if you do!!
