Pill Series Review
Riteish Deshmukh’s OTT debut Pill has all the factors that make it an interesting medical thriller. The director of the series, Raj Kumar Gupta, makes it a show that captures every element with perfection. It also shows the connections between medical giants, private hospitals, and corrupt officials. Additionally, it also focuses on the issues of class divisions, medical misconduct, and illegal drug trials. Therefore, the series will capture your attention right from the beginning.
Moreover, the direction also avoids complicating the narrative even while handling some heavy themes. Although the series has a good pacing, it was a little bit slow in the initial episodes. Moving forward to the performances, Riteish Deshmukh steals the show from the very first scene. He stays true to his character and perfectly conveys the message. Additionally, Pavan Malhotra in the role of Brahm Gill, is unpredictable and exceptional. Other supporting actors also played their characters well.
It includes Neha Saraf, Akshat Chauhan, and Anshul Chauhan. The relationships in the show are also quite refreshing. Pill stands out for confronting the harsh realities with boldness, making it a good watch. Meanwhile, the emotional and ethical struggles are also presented perfectly. However, at times, the characters seem to lack relatability. This also makes it harder for some viewers to connect with the series on a deeper level.
Final Verdict
All in all, Pill is an interesting pharma thriller that deals with the complex world of pharmaceuticals. Riteish Deshmukh’s OTT debut is quite impressive, and other cast members also add depth to the narrative. Additionally, despite its flaws, Pill is a must-watch for fans of this genre. It will also interest anyone who wants to know about the darker side of the medical field. We rate this series 3.5 out of 5 stars.
