Dadur Kirti (2024) S01

When the patriarch of the Choudhury Dadur Kirti family decides to fake an illness to get his scattered family together at their mansion-like home he dangles an old treasure hunt to reel them back to the family. However, what starts off as sceptical improbability soon turns into a serious race to the top. However, will the family find real treasure in the midst of all of this mess?

There are several members in the Choudhury family and everyone has a different story to tell – the series puts forth everyone’s story in front of the viewers, with a clear goal from the first episode that the main motive is reconciliation. From episode 1, the storyline is put forth in such a way that you know exactly where this is going and the creators have made the conflicts in such a way that we start to rush towards that reconciliation ending after the first few episodes.

With such a big cast of talented actors, adding stories for all of them feels like a gigantic affair. With only 6 20-minute episodes to tell that gigantic tale, it obviously feels forced and without depth. Plus, the conflicts aren’t just petty fights among 4 adults – they are important, complicated stories that need a good amount of time to breathe. With such a short runtime, all of these stories, thus, feel half-baked and somewhat unnecessary as well because we aren’t able to see any of them find a conclusion in an organic way.
