Hutatma S1-S2

Magandang pelikula!

Magandang pelikula!

The show sets a fictional story of Vidyut Sawant against the real historical backdrop of the Independent Maharashtra Movement. It's superbly crafted with multiple characters, subplots assimilating in the main plot. You are sucked in the emotions of the central character and vouch for her completely as she's driven to avenge the death of her father. Each episode ends on a cliff hanger that catches you by the neck. Seldom, have I seen such an amazing use of the web series medium in India. The performances are phenomenal. Sachin Khedekar, Ashwini Kalsekar, effortlessly get into the skin of the characters. It is a treat to watch the stalwarts like Mohan Agashe, Vikram Gokhale drink and bicker. Anjali Patil, the lead has got into the soul of the central character. You are completely possessed by her anger and resolve till the end. Kudos! And a special mention of Kiran Khoje who plays the young Leela. What an amazing performer! The background music is fabulous. A powerful and riveting series that is strongly recommended!

From the cinematography to the editing to the direction, Hutatma gets it right with all the factors. At a time where web shows are gaining popularity and content-driven stories are in demand, Hutatma makes its place as a must- watch series. Anjali patil performance natural so Semma Super The power of the women Character fights bold acting women, Superb starcast - Anjali Patil, Vaibhav Tatvavadi, Abhay Mahajan, Vikram ghokhale, Mohan agashe, Sachin khedekar, Ravindra mankani, Anand ingale, Lokesh Gupte, Ashwini Kalsekar, Chaya kadam.

The storyline is fantastically made, the episode is much cramped.The story, which runs well until the middle, is very creepy afterwards.

Looks like very few people know about this web series. In this trend of web series the best one seems to be ignored.

One on the best series to come out on Indian web in terms of content. The storytelling is extremely powerful and intelligent - especially the first season. The performances, editing and background music are spot on. The best part of the series is that it does not want to educate you but tell an interesting story in a dramatic way. Full marks to the Director for that! Highly Recommended!

The best thing about Hutatma, a ZEE5 series of 7-episodes inspired by the Samyukta Maharashtra Movement, is that it isn't inclined towards taking any stand. Even if the trailer might give away that feeling, it is rooted in reasons behind their rebellion. In today's world where language-based politics is taking rise while being equally outdated, this is a daring attempt in trying to contextualize the motivations behind their demands. What may seem like an anti-government script at first glance is keener on its responsibility in explaining the incitements. And it does that with giving more than one perspective to ponder over. No matter which side we are on, Hutatma shouldn't be dismissed as propaganda which it clearly isn't. History, which is often told by a single or rather biased point-of-view, doesn't dwell into the minds that contribute to shaping it. It presents the incidents as facts and gives morals accordingly. This series, as explained in an interview by the creator (Jayprad Desai) himself, presents characters which represent certain ideologies. They are, to be taken as the representations, and not an actual character or happenings around it. While it also features real-life characters like Pralhad Keshav Atre, Yashwantrao Chavan, Pandit Nehru among others, the series is a mix of fictional and real incidents from the past. The cinematography was very neat with the lights that compliment well-suited production design. I loved how it never submitted itself to a higher tonal contrast which would have created drama by itself. The concise framing helped to bring out the narrative even better. Acting performances were clearly a stand-out among other aspects, by each and every one. The three young rebellions from the poster, performed by Patil, Tatvavadi, and Mahajan shine in their roles with sincerity. Even the veterans were reliable as ever. It's an absolute treat to watch them perform weighty lines with absolute ease. Ashwini Kalsekar and Chhaya Kadam were fitting in their respective roles. The exposition through the flashbacks does feel unnecessary at times; especially when there is enough tension to tell the narrative and the actors have enough potential. But there's so much to admire in this web-series that it went way beyond my expectations. I sincerely hope it sustains this grip over its intentions further.
