Evaluate by: Russel D’Silva
I will admit proper off the bat to not having watched the unique British TV present, Cheat, which Mithya has been formally tailored from. Would watching it have influenced me into liking Mithya extra or in all probability much less? Properly, I might by no means know now. What I do know is that ZEE5’s Mithya, starring Huma Qureshi, Rajit Kapur, Parambrata Chattopadhyy, Samir Soni, Ajeet Biswas and debutante Avantika Dassani, is kind of an pleasurable mini-series, packaged with some riveting twists and thrills, and stored extraordinarily snappy at six episodes of simply over half an hour every so that you can conveniently binge via.
So, are you enthusiastic about what to look at this weekend or what to look at this week and questioning whether or not Mithya is price your time? Scroll down for my full Mithya internet sequence overview…
What’s it about
Juhi (Huma Qureshi) accuses her scholar, Rhea (Avantika Dassani) of plagiarism, setting off a domino impact, the place the dishonest accusation proves to be simply the tip of the iceberg, with a number of skeletons spilling out of the closet.

What’s sizzling
Identical to her final internet sequence, Maharani, Huma Qureshi as soon as once more is the guts and soul of Mithya, profitable extra brownie factors for wanting mesmerising in her beautiful sarees. Rajit Kapur and Parambrata Chattopadhyay present distinctive help whereas Samir Soni and Ajeet Biswas are serviceable of their brief display time. Rohan Sippy’s course is competent for essentially the most half as is the screenplay by Anvita Dutt and Althea Kaushal whereas Purva Naresh’s dialogues actually stand out. The manufacturing values are good and the background rating, whereas not including an excessive amount of, does not distract both from the proceedings.
A particular phrase for the each enhancing and cinematography although as the previous ensures your consideration is hooked from begin to end whereas the latter lends a stunning texture to the narrative. Lastly, the place Mithya really scores is in the way it retains dropping just a little twist right here, and surprising shock there, and strikes issues alongside at a jiffy, even with out ever clutching us in a vice-like grip.
What’s not
The most important downside of the present is Avantika Dassani, and it is an enormous one as she performs the opposite central character together with Huma Qureshi. The debutante, who additionally occurs to be Bhagyashree’s daughter and Abhimanyu Dassani’s brother, is a plain, terrible actress – there is not any euphemistic approach of placing. Her visage is an expressionless pale, portrait and her dialogue supply is downright monotonic to the purpose of constructing a robotic look like a nightingale at an opera. Giving her firm within the avenue of unhealthy performing is Bishakha Thapa in a small, however key position.
Whereas Rohan Sippy could be competent for essentially the most half, when he is not, his course actually goes begging, with massive plot holes and inconsistencies creeping in. Plus, the thrusting of pretend feminism, the place a person’s easy perspective is all the time ridiculed and even home violence towards him is condoned, is one thing onerous to digest. As a feminist myself, it made me cringe.
BL Verdict
The aforementioned points aren’t as outstanding as Avantika Dassani’s horrid debut efficiency, however fortunately, Huma Qureshi is all the time there to the rescue. Coupled along with her efficiency and a quick run time, plus some efficient twists and turns; Mithya makes for greater than a binge-worthy watch. I am going with 3.5 out of 5 stars.
