A good Hindi webseries

 This  fine line between good and bad -  that line is politics

Says Gurupal who is henchman of the future head of the state in the web series Tandav. May be henchman is the not the right word - politically incorrect :). May be man friday?

So all the right ingredients are there in the series - a politician who can any go to any lengths to save his power - including patricide, a savvier female politician who uses this fact to blackmail and snatch the power, a student leader - from Bihar, who supports the farmers' protest and police attacking students in their campus. Multiple "mysterious" deaths of student leaders, student body election and their "presidential" debate!

I think the version I saw had all the scenes which "hurt" the sentiments removed. 

And come on, how many recent events do you want to put in one web series - students in VNU? Their students belonging to SAI? Arrest of a student belonging to minority community using some terrorist clause? And aazadi song and chanting? We agree that facts is often more bizarre than fiction. But you need not have copy pasted all of these. 

But on the whole it is good. The acting by Saif and Dimple is good. 

I don't think there will be a second season. What with so many controversies and FIRs etc. Wouldn't have minded watching second season.
