Tribhuvan Mishra CA Topper (Web-series 2024)
Manav Kaul is a wasted actor. He has hardly done one work of note after Kai Po Che and City Lights. Tumhari Sulu, maybe, but that was Vidya Balan's film. Sure, Manav is more occupied with writing, but there is no gainsaying that he could have done much better as an actor as well.
CA Topper is the story of an honest family man, who is forced to become a male prostitute to take care of pressing financial needs. One needs a lot of make-believe to fall for this story. Manav's character does not have shades of grey. He is just too perfect as a family man, and as a fucker, and fucking professional about it. Tilottama Shome, snubbed by her husband, falls for him, and this ends up complicating the situation. Her husband, Bhujia King, played by Shubhrajyoti Barat is the find of the series. He has real skills as an actor, and I would like to see more of him. Faisal Malik ambles around as a cop, but repeats himself too much. There are too many characters, each having deliverable lines. This stretches the series beyond tolerable limit. They should have wrapped it in 6 episodes, instead of 9 they served. Some more oomph could have served the cause better, but they sanitized the show a tad too much.
In the end, CA Topper turned out to be a waste of time, especially because of its jumbled ending, which did not tie many loose ends. Maybe they have 9 more episodes up their sleeve, which they might try to shove our asses. Save me God!
