Mar 19, 2024Absolutely loved this show. Noteworthy points :- 1. Direction is slick. In most suspense serial, a strong storyline must be supported by food direction. This show delivers on that front. 2. Storyline has many layers & writer has intertwined them very well . 3. Screenplay is smooth. Never a moment where show would feel lethargic. Length of episodes is kept at 35 minutes 4. Scenic location - Cinematography is brilliant. This show has been shot in stupendously beautiful locations. 5. Plethora of sensitive issues touched upon which grace. 6. Nimrit Kaur gives an amazing performance. A wonderful watch .

Sep 13, 2023Wonderful storyline. Thriller that gives you goosebumps. As the story moves forward, you crave to watch more. All the characters played their roles well. Especially, TK, Vikram and Sam. The story seems to be on real world. Wonderful storyline. Thriller that gives you goosebumps. As the story moves forward, you crave to watch more. All the characters played their roles well.

Sep 13, 2023Web series review: School of Lies streaming on Disney+ Hotstar Set in the fictional Dalton Town nestled in the hills, the disappearance of a 12 year old boy Shakti from the prestigious RISE boarding school rocks the entire town with the police twiddling their thumbs, clueless about the whereabouts of the boy. Will they succeed in finding Shakti especially when there are so many myths and stories concocted about his behaviour and character by his friends and seniors. There is also a parallel plot of some wrong doings ( won't reveal much !!) going on in the school (drugs, illicit sex etc). The cast is the strong point of this series with Nimrat Kaur ( as the student counselor) , Amir Bashir( a housemaster at RISE) , Vir Pachasia ( the kid who has played Shakti) & the 2 seniors TK & Vikram have really done full justice to their roles. The damp, gloomy, foggy ambience in the hills goes a long way in creating a spooky vibe that is essential for the for plot. The story however moves at a snails pace and gets very tedious to watch at times. Yawn alert!! Could have been a bit fast paced. People who like "slowburn's" will enjoy it though. 8 episodes are a bit too many for this series which should've ended in perhaps 6. Worth a dekho !! Not the greatest, but not bad either!! Going with 3/5 for this one .. adios 🙂 #DisneyPlusHostar #sanjuzzreviews #indianwebseries #SchoolOfLies #NimratKaur #AmirBashir.
