Ab Hoga Hisaab, the new show on Amazon MX Player, follows the story of two brothers, Bobby and Bunty, as they navigate a complex web of drama and violence. Starring Shaheer Sheikh and Mouni Roy, the show promises loads of action but fails to deliver meaningful insight into its characters and themes.
The show's premise revolves around Bobby's decision to send his younger brother Bunty to Canada for a better future, despite the dangers and corruption that come with it. However, the show's characters lack nuance and emotional complexity, existing only as archetypes to further the plot.
As the plot thickens, the show introduces a notorious organ trade network run by Sanjay Kapoor's character, Goldy, and a lazy police investigation led by Inspector Dosanjh. However, these subplots feel predictable and underdeveloped.
Shaheer Sheikh's performance is a highlight of the show, bringing a sense of restraint and poise to his character, Bobby. However, the writing often demands him to be inconsistent and brazen, which detracts from his performance.
Ab Hoga Hisaab feels restless and desperate to add more twists and unresolved issues, rather than taking the time to explore its characters and themes. Despite its relevant and important socio-political issues, the show fails to ask the tough questions and feels strangely alienated from its setting.
At ten episodes, Ab Hoga Hisaab feels stretched beyond its limits, leaving viewers with a chaotic and unsatisfying viewing experience.
