Spotlight is the most mediocre part of an otherwise quite engaging and entertaining series. The story is a satire on the blind faith in society and the insecurities of stars. Although inspired by Satyajit Ray's eponymous short story, this Spotlight is heavily modified.
It is hard to deny that a potential clash of two famous insecure individuals in today's technology-powered world can be anything less than entertaining, but here it is. The execution was not up to the mark, and perhaps the writer and director are to blame. The script does not look very developed, the humorous undertones are below par, and the quirky dialogues (and the quirky "Look" of the main character) are usually dull. Many reviews have accused Harshvardhan of giving a poor performance, but given a poor plot and array of stereotypical characters, his performance should be called decent.
But there are some good things as well. The production design was brilliant, like the previous three episodes. The vivid imagery- the use of blue around Didi's character, the display of spiritual elements, the palace hotel set- deserve lots of praise. In conclusion, Spotlight is a moderately entertaining one-time watch (not as bad as many have called it).
