Review:
2020
and
2021
were
clearly
the
worst
years
for
everyone.
The
COVID-19
pandemic
changed
our
lives
and
it
is
a
horrific
time
that
no
one
wants
to
remember.
So,
whenever
a
film
or
a
series
revolving
around
COVID-19
or
any
pandemic
or
epidemic
is
made,
it
surely
creates
a
scary
image
in
our
minds
when
we
watch
it.
Now,
we
have
Kaala
Paani,
a
series
about
an
epidemic
on
an
island.
So,
is
this
Mona
Singh
starrer
worth
a
binge-watch?
Find
out
in
our
review
below...
Kaala
Paani
is
set
in
2027
in
Andaman
&
Nicobar
island.
A
few
people
are
diagnosed
with
a
rare
disease,
and
Dr.
Singh
(Mona
Singh)
is
worried
about
the
situation
and
wants
to
know
the
reason
behind
this
disease.
While
she
comes
to
know
the
reason
behind
the
spread
of
the
disease,
things
don't
go
as
planned,
and
the
disease
starts
spreading
rapidly.
The
government
there
announces
a
lockdown,
so
from
locals
to
tourists,
everyone
gets
stuck
on
the
island.
Who
will
survive
and
how
will
people
survive,
forms
the
rest
of
the
story...
The
basic
concept
of
Kalaa
Paani
is
interesting.
The
spread
of
the
disease,
the
fear
of
how
people
will
survive,
and
the
emotional
part
of
losing
a
loved
one,
all
these
things
have
been
showcased
well.
But,
the
series
is
quite
long
and
the
characters'
back
stories
have
been
given
a
lot
of
importance.
Maybe
sticking
to
the
survival
story
during
an
epidemic
would
have
made
it
more
crisp
and
interesting.
There
are
some
scenes
that
will
give
you
chills
and
thrills.
Watching
the
characters
wearing
the
mask
will
make
you
feel
a
bit
uncomfortable
as
it
will
remind
you
of
COVID-19
times.
But
as
the
runtime
of
the
episodes
are
quite
long,
it
looks
stretched
and
loses
its
grip.
Also,
one
thing
that
disappoints
a
lot
is
(Spoiler
Alert)
that
Mona
Singh
doesn't
have
a
big
role.
In
fact,
she
is
just
there
for
one
episode.
Even
in
that
one
episode,
the
actress
leaves
such
a
strong
mark
that
you
just
keep
on
waiting
to
watch
her
more.
Kaala
Paani
is
a
multi-starrer,
and
apart
from
Mona,
it
is
Ashutosh
Gowariker,
Amey
Wagh,
Aradhya
Ajana,
Sukant
Goel,
Vikas
Kumar,
and
Radhika
Mehrotra
who
impress
us
with
their
performance.
Especially,
Sukand
and
Vikas,
they
are
amazing.
Overall,
Kaala
Paani
is
not
one
of
the
best
series
we
have
seen
in
recent
times.
It
has
some
good
moments,
but
on
the
whole,
just
turns
out
to
be
an
average
watch.
