The Whistleblower

This show is definitely a must watch for those who want to know what exactly a "Whistleblower" is and how the Vyapam scam happened in Madhya Pradesh.

The series is undoubtedly quite interesting thanks to an interesting topic and an interesting and medium to fast paced screenplay. Next good thing is the performance. Ritwik Bhowmik and Ravi Kishan are the highlights of this show. Others too have done a fair job. A good BGM also helps elevate the interest of this show.

However, this series is not perfect as it is filled with numerous flaws.

1. Tends to unnecessarily drag towards the end.

2. The drag is further helped by the presence of an unnecessary love angle.

3. Witnesses get killed and we only see a glimpse of it. A full sequence showing how they get killed would have been better.

4. Not the best in detailing as compared to Scam 1992.

5. A somewhat weak 2nd half of the series

6. Last but not the least, weird half hearted narration in the background with very ordinary dialogues. Also, quite some episodes cut off to the next at abrupt points that are not highs (I mean to say episodes should end at points that leave viewers desperate for the next one).

Overall, an easily bingeworthy series thanks to an interesting plot and screenplay but get ready to come across some easily visible flaws.

Probably they need one more episode to answer plenty of unanswered questions

More details on

why was Dr Ashwin killed

what was it that he had discovered on the night before he was killed

how was he actually killed after drugging his dog

who was actually behind his killing

Implications of Dr Sanket's whistle blowing

What consequences did the culprits suffered

Rupesh/Sunil/Gautam we're they actually caught ??

They should have also highlighted what happened to the students who were caught for getting pmt cleared wrong way

That was most important since people will always fear punishment of the wrong doings

This serial could have set a great social and moral message but left me disappointed with plenty of unanswered questions

They can still make a last episode and convey the msg and end series on a high note

As far as acting and direction is concerned it was very good

Loved certain parts were msgs were passed through eyes and facial expressions no need of dialogues

Use of too much of foul language was unnecessary but some how that has become a trend in these days webseries

Regards Dr Ronak Shah.

Not too engaging, but some good performances. Ritwik Bhowmik is good, Ravi Kishan is entertaining too. Good series but too streched, could have been finished in 5-6 episodes.

Anwar Says: Sonyliv has developed trend of producing Originals on the Indian Scams and here is Whistleblower on the 2013 Vyapum Scam in Madhyapradesh . Definitely not as well researched as Scam , 1992 but surely enlighten the headlines of impersonators caught in the scam .

The protagonist Sanket played by Bandish Bandit fame, Ritwik Bhaumik is as adequate as the show. Requisite skills and good intentions are evident but sub- standard dialogue could not make the character as strong as of Pratik Gandhi in Scam, 1992. The pick of the show is the meatiest role of Ravikishan , and he played it smartly, several notches low than his usual pitch. Good to see Sonali Kulkarni as an honest journalist.

The series is overburdened with sub- plots and could have been trimmed and shortened to six episodes. Some of the issues were left unresolved. Politicians nexus in all such crimes are a must and role of electronic media has been highlighted. A must watch, if you really want to understand the meaning of WHISTLEBLOWER.

In the lines of a big hit on Sony Liv- Scam, whistleblower draws audience attention towards how a huge scam in education department took place. Well researched story, pacy music, catchy dialogues, decent direction has given an edge to this show. Must watch for all.
