Durgesh Tiwary’s View : When I watched the trailer planned to watch this series in my free time due to trailer star cast and interesting concept that revolves around Bihar.
Rajnikant Sinha (Rajni) is the only child of MLA Narendra Sinha, is far from his namesake. He is a submissive man who has lived his entire life under his father’s thumb as a pawn. He could neither stand up to his father nor live up to his expectations. His life took a turn for the better when Rajni met and married Bulbul who is a beautiful, chirpy, and free-spirited girl. However, his happiness did not last for long as soon enough Bulbul, made a bold decision to run away without a trace.What then begins is a chase to find the missing Bulbul and why she went missing from the cops to speculation by the press, the unending games of politicians, and even an ex-lover in the mix there are multiple reasons at play in this adventure.
This could have been a super hit had the storyline and the script be better. With a predictable plot and repeated turn of events, the good dialogues and comic portions are destroyed. Still, some lines manage to make us laugh. All the dialogues of Papaji or Sanjay Mishra are humorous and impress among all. Further in the process of searching the Runaway Lugaai Bulbul, many comic and emotional events occur but fail to give you any emotions. Along with this, the so-called Bulbul’s boyfriend and the Bhojpuri actor have been included to extend the story but fails to grab attention and make the plot more tedious.
It also fails to deliver a strong message of being independent and bold through Bulbul’s character, which is the most frustrating part here. Apart from that there is nothing that can help this series to be at least bearable. My view on this web-series Not Recommended !!
