1000 Babies

An intriguing title and interesting poster definitely drew me to this series, and I'm glad I gave it a chance. This is a spoiler-free review, as it's important to watch the series with minimal prior knowledge to get the full experience.

The story unravels around a shocking confession and the effort to maintain its secrecy, as its revelation could shake the entire nation. As they grapple with this situation, the police team must protect those who may be affected by this indigestible truth.

The plot is truly unique, and its presentation is engaging. The story gradually reveals its layers, keeping you on the edge of your seat-a testament to the brilliant writing. The first three episodes are a buildup, and you may feel confused, but hold on; everything will be clear by then, and the rest of the episodes offer a solid investigative ride. The series ends on an intriguing note, leaving room for a sequel.

Rahman leads the show and is decent as an investigative officer. However, he lacks a bit of the commanding presence typical of such roles, making you wonder if a more powerful performance might have elevated the character. Sanju Sivaram is the real star of the series. Finally given a role where he can shine, he proves that with the right part, he can deliver excellently. Neena Gupta appears only as a cameo, seemingly cast to attract a national audience with her presence on the poster. The rest of the cast performs their roles perfectly.

The investigation procedures are realistic, with no gimmicks, fully immersing you in the story. You might guess the twist, but that doesn't detract from its beautifully crafted presentation. The series doesn't cut corners on locations, shot authentically across various settings, adding to its realism. A questioned nudity scene felt natural within the narrative. However, the overuse of cuss words sometimes felt forced and unnecessary, and the attempt at a Palakkad dialect was far from authentic, even becoming a bit of a mockery after a point.

This is a strong series that's worth a watch. If you enjoy investigative suspense thrillers, add this one to your list. Watch it soon to avoid any spoilers that could diminish the thrill of watching it firsthand.
