Nakaab follows the story of investigation behind the death of a starlet. And yes indeed this seemed to be eerily similar to the SSR case. We all know how sentiments were stirred up by the media in almost sending everyone in a state of frenzy not to mention the mad hussle in sensationalizing a case by conducting media trials. But coming back to the review – the story does promise with an interesting premise to begin with but it soon nosedives and how! The screenplay is a complete borefest. While the antics of the media are shown along with an investigation, it just seemed so childish. The writing seemed to have run thin right after the initial sequence. So all that happened after that was going around in circles without any remote engagement to the viewer. And there are some senseless love making scenes added that don’t really justify their inclusion. I usually look for positives but I seriously didn’t find any redemption here. After a point, you just go through the motions patiently waiting for the 8 episode long series to end. There are no real twists and turns that are shocking and the grand reveal is so bad that it was as if the plot did unfold exactly how you had predicted at the very beginning. And yes, this is fiction! This has no real similarity to the SSR case except the initial premise. The writing is a hot mess here, very shallow with weak characters making it a 4 hour yawn fest!
