Review:
Aarya
is
an
out
and
out
Sushmita
Sen
web
series,
even
when
she
is
not
in
the
scene
her
presence
lingers
in
your
mind.
The
strong
character
and
Sushmita's
Sen
personality
is
vivid
since
the
first
scene,
where
you
can
see
her
work
out
early
in
the
morning.
Through
the
first
episode,
you
notice
how
perfect
her
life
is,
only
as
the
show
progresses
you
begin
to
find
out
more
about
her
dark
past.
Aarya
Sareen
is
a
mother
who
would
do
anything
to
keep
her
children
safe,
even
from
herself
and
her
past
life.
It
is
precisely
that
need,
which
gets
her
into
the
mess
in
the
first
place.
All
too
aware
of
her
mistakes
and
heartbroken
after
the
loss
of
her
husband,
Aarya
knows
she
has
no
time
to
falter.
She
quickly
begins
to
take
things
in
her
hands,
when
she
has
no
one
else
to
trust
and
a
Polo
team-owning
drug
lord
on
her
tail,
for
a
consignment
of
worth
Rs
300
crore.
Aarya
Is
Now
Available
On
Disney
Plus
Hotstar
The
Hotstar
special
is
a
remake
of
Spanish
series
Penoza,
the
foreign
story
is
skillfully
adapted
for
the
Indian
audience.
The
story
is
set
in
Rajasthan
and
becomes
a
part
of
the
city. From
beautiful
mansions
to
lakeside
houses,
the
web
series
has
everything
adding
to
its
style
and
class,
but
the
director
never
indulges
too
much
into
the
picturization.
With
well-developed
characters,
a
solid
storyline
and
convincing
cast,
even
the
small
plot
twists
come
off
as
a
shock.
Sushmita
Sen
Makes
A
Strong
Comeback
The
writers
Sandeep
Srivastava
and
Anu
Singh
Choudhary
have
kept
the
dialogues
simple
and
short,
which
take
away
the
scene's
intensity
but
still
work
with
the
power-packed
actors.
By
the
time
you
notice
the
awkwardness
or
cringy
content,
the
show
has
already
moved
on
to
something
better,
and
you
move
along
with
it.
However,
the
nine-part
web
series
seems
to
take
its
sweet
time
in
getting
to
the
point
and
gives
us
little
time
to
see
Aarya
at
her
best.
Still,
the
slow
pace
does
not
take
the
fun
away.
Aarya
will
keep
you
hooked
with
good
twists
and
reveals
at
the
right
time.
Hotstar
Special
Will
Keep
You
Engaged
Still
The
End
Apart
from
Sushmita,
Ankur
Bhatia,
Sikander
Kher,
and
Namit
Das
all
have
substantial
roles
to
play.
No
matter
how
little,
all
characters,
including
Aarya's
teenager
kid,
has
an
impact
on
the
look
and
feel
of
the
show.
Overall,
Aarya
is
a
family
drama
that
invites
you
in
with
the
promise
to
solve
a
crime
and
gives
you
a
lot
more
than
what
you
had
asked
for.
