Hundred (2020) webseries

HUNDRED (2020): Hotstar originals streams up a comic series which tries really hard to get a miniature smile on the viewer’s face. 

So why is it titled hundred? Because a young girl working as a govt employee is suddenly diagnosed with a terminal illness and told very bluntly by a doc that she has only hundred days to live ! So it’s actually hundred days. The girl prepares a bucket list / wishlist and starts ticking the wishes she so wishes to fulfil before the doomsday. Interesting? Feels like it’s been dealt in many movies, tv series, etc etc true that. 

There’s nothing entertaining in this series, most of the episodes are a total snooze fest. There’s an unrelated underworld track thrown in to create some ruckus but it only adds up to your yawns. And yes, there’s the mandatory Feminazi blah blah blahing which gets on the nerves. The makers were surely half asleep while directing. 

Unable to understand why a female cop is expected to look and appear manly inorder to prove she’s tough? Lara Dutta as a strong willed cop talks, walks, behaves in an uncomfortably masculine manner, just stereotypes that cops have to be men and if it’s a women she should be like a man, really? Dutta who’s otherwise a fine artiste looks visibly discomforted in a strangely incomprehensible role. Comparatively 18 year old Rinku Rajguru is in great form, totally uninhibited, perfectly cast displaying generous grace and panache. Men are shown as selfish, go getters basically all men are bxxxxxxs that’s all it tries to convey. 

Skip it if you have better things to do, not exactly a quarantine watch that would delight you. ⭐️
