Review of “The Secrets of Shiledars” Web Series:
If you’ve opened this article, it means you enjoy historical stories with a bit of mystery, and thrill. Just for you, a family-oriented web series has been released on Disney+ Hotstar, titled “The Secrets of Shiledars”.
India has many historical stories that could be turned into movies or web series. But let’s not talk about that right now and instead focus on “The Secrets of Shiledars”. This web series has only 6 episodes, each around 30 to 40 minutes long.
The series is fast-paced and will finish quickly—you won’t even realize it!
The creators have done a good job with the Indian elements and have added a unique touch. If you like treasure-hunt-type movies or stories, this web series is perfect for you.
If you enjoy adventurous series, you’ll find that in this one too.
Now, let’s talk about the story setup. The series revolves around Chhatrapati Shivaji’s treasure. The hero of the series, Rajeev Khandelwal, plays a doctor, but what kind of doctor he is remains a mystery.
Even the hero himself doesn’t know who he truly is or why he was born.
He is told that he was born to protect the treasure and that he is one of the Shiledar. He embarks on an adventure to find out where the treasure is and who he needs to protect it from.
Will our hero reaches the treasure? Will he be able to protect it? To uncover the secrets of the Shiledars, you’ll have to watch the series.
But before you decide to watch it, let me share some positive and negative points about the series. After that, you can decide whether it’s worth your time or not.
Negative Points:
- The script is a bit weak and lacks punch. It could have been more impactful.
- The depth of the story is lacking. Clues are revealed too quickly, and there’s zero character development. Because of this, the story doesn’t touch the heart.
However, if we overlook these flaws, the series is still good.
Positive Points:
- The concept of the series is great. It’s family-oriented, so if you have seniors or children at home, they will enjoy it. It’s a complete family series.
- The elements related to Chhatrapati Shivaji are fascinating. The mystery surrounding Rajeev Khandelwal’s character and how he uncovers clue after clue is very interesting.
- The items related to Shivaji, like a small box, a key, or Ashoka’s pillar, keep you excited about what will be revealed next. The curiosity is well-maintained, and these elements are picturized beautifully.
- The series has many layers of mystery, and after the third episode, the story picks up pace, making it even more engaging.
- The actors’ performances are good, especially Rajeev Khandelwal, who has done an exceptional job. Ashish Vidhyarthi has limited screen time, but he has performed well in whatever space he got.
The series is directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, and the music is decent.
Overall, I really liked this web series. I wish more creators would work on such content and bring our history to the forefront.
From my side, “The Secrets of Shiledars” gets 3.5 out of 5 stars.
