The Story:
The series that stays true to its original adaptation, The Night Manager revolves around the death of a young girl which was witnessed by the hotel manager who was on duty. It is a tale of an Indian Naval officer who later works in the hotel industry and joins a hotel as a night manager. The series has a very gripping storyline to it which surely will keep the audience on the edge if their seats. What makes the story even more interesting is the direction and the cinematography. There are also many instances where you will see how the life of a spy is on a daily basis, through this web series.
The Review:
In a world that is ever-growing in crime and illegal activities, we always look for someone who is ready to take up the good fight and be a shield against the wrong things that hamper peace and trust amongst the citizens. The Night Manager is one such story where one person is enough to put a stop to every illegal activity. Sandeep Modi who is the mind behind this brilliant web series is yet again seen delivering something that will surely leave you wanting more. The filmmaker has very strategically handpicked the cast with two big names from the Bollywood industry. Yes, I am talking about Adity Roy Kapur and Anil Kapoor.
Unlike your other spy thriller, The Night Manager has a very gripping storyline that surely is entertaining and will leave you wanting more. When we talk about the star cast, The Night Manager has some popular faces like Aditya Roy Kapur, Anil Kapoor, and Sobhita Dhulipala who have managed to win the hearts of the OTT audience through their brilliant on-screen performances. The entire web series has some energetic cinematography with some brilliant action sequences. For me, these are the selling point of this series as it looks intense and raw.
The Night Manager also comes with some timely twists and turns where you will be surprised and will not expect the plot to take a whole different turn. Aditya Roy Kapur’s character is raw and intense where he is closely following an arms dealer with the intention to take down their entire illegal business. On the other hand, Anil Kapoor, the evergreen Bollywood actor who is shown as the head of the arms dealing group, puts his trust in Aditya Roy Kapur and entrusts him with bigger responsibilities. For me personally, both these talented actors who are a powerhouse of talent are the stars of this series. Their on-screen performance is simply excellent as they take you on a whole new journey of a spy thriller drama.
