Director: Arunima Sharma 
Streaming On: Amazon Prime Video

Story: The story begins with the advice given to seven childhood friends by a face reader at a Christmas carnival.

During the celebrations, Rishab (Suhail Nayyar) proposes Lavanya (Tamannaah Bhatia). Rishab’s unexpected move sets the path for the upcoming events of all the friends’ lives, with unknown twists and turns.

Analysis: Jee Karda tells the stories of seven childhood friends as they sail together into adulthood. Their unfailing connection enables them to face the challenges of life without fear and to live their lives according to their own conditions. They say what they think, whether by sharing their from vacation to abortion with their partner or discussing sexual relations before or after marriage. Each character tackles their individual problems while finding comfort and support in his or her group. The beauty of the show lies in their strong bond and how they learn to live their lives fully without being obliged to explain and justify their actions.

The show impresses with the apt casting for almost every character, and the performances were also natural. However, the series slowly turns into a regular outing which explores the lives of rich class youth with a less impact on the emotional side. The premise had the potential to be an enjoyable and compelling ride at the same time. However the narrative falls short because of the lack of connectivity factor with the characters. If only the writing had been deeper and genuine, the overall effect of the show could have been better.

Performances: Tamannaah Bhatia was too good as she performs effortlessly in the character along with the glamour show. Suhail Nayyar was impressive while Aashim Gulati, Anya Singh, Hussain Dalal, Sayan Banerjee, Simon Singh and Samvedna Suwalka all others were apt.

Plus Points:

  • Casting and Performances
  • Dialogues
  • Contemporary Touch

Minus Points:

  • Regular Traits of a Web Series
  • Few Boring Parts
  • Underdeveloped Writing 

Verdict: Jee Karda is an average web series has the elements which will entertain the viewers who will connect to the conversations and constraints of the lead characters. The series shows their journey from kids to adults, highlighting the value of friendship, self-assessment and facing the obstacles of life.

Megastar Chiranjeevi is busy with back-to-back movies. After the massive success of Waltair Veerayya this year, he immediately moved on to Meher Ramesh’s Bhola Shankar, a remake of the Tamil film Vedalam starring Ajith. And now, there are reports of him confirming another remake.

The Megastar has given the green signal to the Telugu remake of the Malayalam comedy-drama Bro Daddy. The film featured Mohanlal, Meena, Prithviraj, and Kalyani Priyadarshan. Chiru will be playing Mohanlal’s role in this Telugu remake.

This latest update has not been met with excitement from the fans. Fans feel that Chiranjeevi is only interested in money over movie selection and that he is not taking any big-budget films or any great content films. Remakes have become a common tactic for the Megastar. Last year he was seen in Godfather which was a remake of Mohanlal’s Lucifer. And now with Vedalam and Bro Daddy remake, he is continuing on the same path much to the fan’s frustration.

Fans are now comparing Chiranjeevi’s safe tactics to the film selection of Legends in other industries. Mohanlal, Kamal Haasan, and Mammootty are taking risks and delivering great content even in this age. While even some of their films fail, they manage to satisfy the audience with some great performances throughout. Fans believed that in his quest for commercial success, Chiru is not showcasing his true range as an actor and excellent performer that he is.
