Unadulterated hardcore angst!

A man deceived, a man with only vengeance in his mind, a man determined, takes on the cruel and arduous task of exacting revenge on the one who hurt him and his loved one such. Sadly the target of his revenge is very very very misplaced. The solace he searched for was not in the cruelties he delivered but in the forgiveness he received.

This is a story about how a man becomes a psycho due to his misery and pain and how that psycho becomes a man again when confronted with love for another. It's a story of how feelings of 'hate and disgust' convert to 'devotion and care' when confronted with 'guilt and forgiveness'. Make no mistakes though, this story is filled with controversies. There is kidnapping, abduction, torture, assault, deception, obsession but there is also pain, sorrow, guilt, redemption, attachment, longing, care and ofcourse love.

If you can't stomach controversial tropes, don't watch, I warn again, there's a lot of them. If you can't bear with bad production, don't watch, the budget won't do this show any justice. If you're looking for an unusual plot with flawed characters, bad decisions, long misunderstandings but satisfying resolutions, this is your goto.

Our ML dishes out unbridled one sided torment to our FL. Our FL, who didn't do any wrong, just endures and endures and endures until our ML realizes the evil he has wrongfully done to one he actually started caring for. Rest is his journey to earn back the love from the one he hurt and to exact revenge on the rightful target.

I actually liked ML's overall decision making in this one, failing at first revenge didn't mean that he let go of the original perpetrator. Rather, he actually proved "Revenge is a dish best served cold". FL's character was that of a doormat for the whole show and irritating tbh. Their chemistry, though, was riveting. I would say their personality complimented each other very well.I skipped most, if not all, of the non main leads scenes in first half as they didn't contribute anything to the story. And ofcourse, I found 2FL/Villain absolutely annoying and irritating.

Overall a 7.5/10. I won't say it was something extraordinary or special, as is evident from my rating, but it was definitely quite unusual and a fun watch indeed.
