Mai (2022– ) User Reviews

A 'good-could've been great' show but surely watch it for Sakshi.

[TreeFiddy53 · 7/10 · 17 April 2022]

Sakshi Tanwar - good lord, what acting! Happy to see people who 'aren't mainstream' get a chance to portray what they've got. If not for anything else, you've got to watch it for her.

While the story was good, it had too many conveniences and coincidences for my liking. There was a lot of time spent on the power-struggle subplot.

The show is really good when it's just about Mai, but at some point, you've got to draw the line between Sheel being a regular mother and Sheel coming across as Batman. I personally think that line wasn't drawn - the show is good but could have been great - but that doesn't stop me from asking you to watch this show for Sakshi's stellar performance.

Rating it at 8 and not 10 because of the length of the content

[sumitamukherjee-60302 · 8/10 · 16 April 2022]

The series revolves around Sheel and all what she does to find out why her daughter died. For that sake she herself kills some 5-6 people and escapes easily. Story is good, full Marks for thriller but it sometimes feels to be a bit lengthy..it could have been converted into a 4-5 episode series or 3hrs movie..the last part gives a hope that part 2might also come as her revenge is not over again.. overall a good watch during weekends.

Above Average

[iSatchit · 6/10 · 16 April 2022]

Its all about Sakshi, the whole series revolves around her.

She is good in what she does, as always.

Good story, but I personally found it slow and stretched, It could have been narrated better in a 02 hour movie.

No other character has much to do.

Only for Sakshi Tanwar🙌🏻🔥

[rohit-46518 · 10/10 · 17 April 2022]

What a fantastic performance by Sakshi!! I had goosebumps throughout seeing her performance. She should get more opportunities like this. The way she cries reminded me of Jesse Pinkman, which really breaks you to the core. It is so RAW🙌🏻

Good but incomplete series

[shoaibat-91351 · 7/10 · 15 April 2022]

Netflix made a good series after long time but it's incomplete. Maybe instead of long running series Netflix needs to make limited series like Delhi crime.

"Mother" - Family won't know their sacrifices

[xabirs · 9/10 · 17 April 2022]

An excellent story and what a buildup! Smooth build-up. The way Sakshi Tanwar acted in the series, is just unbelievable! This series shows what a mother is and what a mother can sacrifice and what a mother does for her child despite losing her reputation.

I am giving 9 stars because of some loopholes in the series. Some unrealistic scenes. Though, A must-watch series this is.

Sakshi Sakshi and Only Sakshi

[gursons · 6/10 · 16 April 2022]

I think director is hard core fan of Sakshi Tanwar like me, and he make a Crime Action series in 6 parts without thinking about script,good supporting cast and momentum which is a must ingredient of action series.

I watched this dull series only for Sakshi Tanwar. Wamiqa Gabbi lookin good, watched Prashant Narayanan after a long time, he is good too.

Overall an average dull crime action series, not bearable if you are not fan of Sakshi.

Better then Aarya

[nishonit2 · 9/10 · 15 April 2022]

In Aarya sikandar Always says open you claw and nothing special happened in MAI you can see how woman changes when her loved one dies. Sakshi Tanwar is Amezing as MAI.

Slow steady and strong

[sameerlodaya · 6/10 · 17 April 2022]

Sameer lodaya

The makers have made this series with a very steady and strong content

The character of mother was superbly designed .. Sakshi has been really outstanding on her character with perfect direction from Atul..the director left no space for you to feel bored or dragged every now and then there were twists and turns..simple story of revenge was classically presented with high drama ,hard hitting scenes , politics, emotions ,climax is openly shut..the series goes in a smooth and steady way

Negative points is that the series is little slow and some scenes were unrealistically presented harming the mom character again a door was opened for season 2 which kills your enthusiasm towards the series

Makers smartly released on a long weekend where there were no major releases on OTT.

Mai - Breaking Bad in not so convincing way!

[ReelShahid · 5/10 · 23 June 2022]

I really had high hopes with this series with Sakshi Tanwar in the lead but never thought that I would end up watching a loosely inspired version of "Breaking Bad" with so many plot holes.

I was hoping for a suppliment to my ever increasing desire of thrillers, instead ended up having an anaesthetic!

Fabulous casting and screenplay!

[jamboora · 9/10 · 15 April 2022]

The series is really well-written. The production value is excellent, and the whole cast has been carefully picked. I like the music in the background, and the show is gloomy.

Tabbar+Mom=Mai

[sadhanainsights · 6/10 · 18 May 2022]

If you've seen those 2, you needn't bother with this one. Watchable only due to Sakshi Talwar's presence

Too many Indian webseries are aping European and Turkish shows, with sarees and dhotis sprinkled in just like most Bollywood movies are copies of movies from other regions with AR Rehman music sprinkled on. Mai is not exception. I hope this doesn't become a trend.

Subpar plot, dull acting- its more boring than watching paint dry.

[moyukhbiswas · 1/10 · 19 April 2022]

A middle schooler reading lines from a textbook has more expression than the actors of this movie. Insanely uninteresting plot- there's no character development, no logical progression, just a random series of events.

Raima Sen sakshi tanwar did amazing job

[sray-92875 · 10/10 · 15 April 2022]

Both the female characters very well played. Raima looks stunning and added glam factor to this series. Sakshi s character is very strong n pivotal ..however i found some part is really gory , well it's only because I can't handle it .

Better than KGF 2

[abhrdas · 7/10 · 21 April 2022]

The Entire series is well written and Character played their role very well.

Sometime feeling boring but most of the time you don't wanna miss the scene well balanced, Everyone Including Sakshi ,Raima both payed their role fabulous, but end of the Series 'Wamiqa' she took my breath away!! And She said nothing...

It's Good

[rikenpatel-02979 · 8/10 · 17 April 2022]

This Web Series Did Good Performance. Specially Sakshi Tanwar & Anant Vidhaat & Prashant Narayanan & Raima Sen & Ankur Ratan & Wamiqa Gabbi Did Best Acting.

Nothing out of the ordinary. An okay okay series

[dheevardp · 6/10 · 24 April 2022]

An extremely predictable series with nothing great to say about except for the acting prowess of Sakshi Tanwar and Anant Sharma. If you do start watching dont expect an edge of the seat thriller. The writers have tried intertwining side plots in the main story but they simply falls flat. The only thing that works is the performances from everyone. The story is riddled with so many holes that it will give the Mumbai roads a run for their money.

There is a Season 2 obviously considering how the last episode ended.

You wont miss anything if you decide to give this series a miss.

It is worth watching

[aaeeshaaisha · 10/10 · 15 April 2022]

It is worth watching. I started it today and completed in a sitting. Good series with excellent acting and storyline. Sakshi is amazing as Mai. You will not get board.

Engaging revenge drama!

[mayankshukla1404 · 7/10 · 25 June 2022]

Sakshi Tanwar is rock solid in Mai as the greaving mother out to avenge her daughter's death. The revenge drama keeps you hooked. The revelation in the end makes you look forward to the next season.

One of the worst series

[arparthk · 1/10 · 21 April 2022]

Very bad direction, over acting, worst way to present story.

Overall big dislike Overall big dislike Overall big dislike Overall big dislike.

Overall big dislike.

Police procedures for amateurs

[bonniath-13968 · 8/10 · 16 April 2022]

The past 12+ years I've been watching Bollywood movies turn into real world art. Lagaan was the first of this kind I watched. In the that have passed, the entire country of India has opened up to outsiders and its wonderful!

Mai is just the most recent thing I've got to rave about.

Mother feels her daughters death was more than an accident and tried to find out the truth even though she's naive and has trouble maneuvering the incredibly difficult and sometimes corrupt police system.

Loved it.

Average

[sameerkhan666 · 7/10 · 3 September 2023]

Average series but liked the overall notion of it. Sakshi Tanwar's work is at a level we cannot measure, she is best, seriously! The storyline could have been better although as I said idea was good but putting it on screen made it a bit of unbalanced series. The way motherhood was portrayed by Sakshi Tanwar, the way she said, "Guddiya" to her daughter who was deaf and innocent. The conflict part made it a bit confusing. The movie related to this series was the one Sridevi did, and I like it. The story was to show the power and love of mother especially how revengeful a mother can get over her kid's enemies but this one could have been better.

Boring and Pathetic

[amitaggarwal-81006 · 1/10 · 20 April 2022]

I generally don't give reviews but if you want to save some time ,please don't watch it... Very very slow...dragged a 5 min plot to 4 hrs...lousy acting by everyone... unnecessary details ...go watch Some thing else.

Very Good Series

[panchaitan · 8/10 · 15 April 2022]

I have watched till episode 5 and still watching but I want to write how much better this series is.

May be I'm a bit biased because I am from UP and I've visited Lucknow frequently. But the acting, directing, screenplay is definitely worth giving 8 stars. Among all the hindi web series I've watched, this goes right to the top 3.

Good but incomplete

[shoaibat-91351 · 7/10 · 15 April 2022]

Netflix need to make good limited series in India like Delhi crime which was the only good series I've watched. Others are even worse than usual series.
