A Potpourri of Vestiges Review
By Shubhangi Jain
Who
knew 2020 will be a year of the pandemic? The novel coronavirus not only ruined
our travel and outing plans but has also distanced us from our loved ones. When
most of us were banging thalis, making Dalgona coffee and shouting ‘Go Corona
Go’ at top of our voices during March, storytellers continued making different
stories for us. While the entire nation was facing lockdown, Nikhil Bhat and
team came up with the idea of making a perfect quarantine content based series
“The Gone Game.”
The
series is based during the times of the pandemic and beautifully portrays the
harsh reality which people faced with the spread of coronavirus. While most of
the series these days are shot outside India, this series completely keeps in
mind the current situation and is completely shot indoors. One very important
reason of watching this series is that the audience is completely able to
relate with the plot as they have been going through the same situation.
The
Hindi web series begins in the period of March when the world was discovering
approaches to battle the novel coronavirus and we are still doing tha. We come
across Sahil Gujral (Arjun Mathur) who just recently returned from Bangkok. He
has quarantined himself in his room as we see some mild symptoms of COVID-19 in
him. His better half Suhani Gujral (Shriya Pilgaonkar), who is an internet
based life influencer, is compelled to rest in the visitor room. The Gujral
family is watching the Janta Curfew, declared by PM Narendra Modi, together
from their separate telephone screens. To the great shock of the Gujarals,
Sahil before long capitulates to the infection. Notwithstanding, an unintended
call makes Amara and the remainder of the family wonder if Sahil is still
alive.
While
the vast majority of the arrangement is shot inside, it appeared that all the actors
have shot it themselves in their individual houses with the assistance of their
family members.Despite the fact that the cast spends a significant piece of
their scenes collaborating through video calls, they have given quality
exhibitions. Shweta Tripathi Sharma gets the greatest screen time and she
intrigues as the inquisitive and shrewd Amara. Arjun Mathur is persuading as a
COVID-19 patient and shows up quiet while depicting various feelings.
'The Gone Game' is a scaled down arrangement of four episodes,
each one of which is roughly 28 minutes in length. The story remains legitimate
in its aim of utilizing COVID-19 emergency as one of the primary plot drivers. The
show is fresh with one occasion following another while keeping the procedures
reasonable. The principle wind toward the end ends up being flighty, which is
an absolute necessity in puzzle spine chillers. Since it was shot during when
the lockdown was severe the greater part of the scenes are naturally through
video calls. Presently, it looks invigorating for some time however that
experience also loses its sheen sooner or later.
The screenplay is normal, anyway the background
and how the story streams without letting the watchers surmise the completion
works for it. The performances by all the actors are solid. With the
constrained help and gear, every one of them prevail with regards to depicting
their characters as they were intended to be. While the advances from one scene
to the next are not adjusted, which is reasonable, the entertainers figure out
how to cause the crowd to have confidence in their story.
What
didn’t work is the response of the family after they become more acquainted
with a gigantic disclosure. It scarcely has any impact on them when it ought to
have absolute stunned them. But, overall, ‘The Gone Game’ is worth your time.
Rating: 8/10
