    Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
    CommentsXp Best movie ever!
    Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
    sankalpana-62564 Really glad to see indian web series making headway. The series is really refreshing because it is a different theme altogether from the usual indian web series about couples and relationships.The entire cast fit their roles very well. It is quick paced and really keeps you hooked till the last episode.
    dadumulay Its an fiction story but its presented as if such things really happens in cricket in india some things are true but not all such as the caste issue is not present in indian cricket but it is shown in it.Its an over glorified negative version of cricket.
    paragbagga Thankyou so much to the director and producers for creating something watchable indian series. Rather than lame fake bahu serials. Best till date
    worthitornot I love cricket and I love movies based on sports so naturally I went in on a binge watch journey of Inside Edge with high expectations- but boy was I wrong.To be fair, the series starts off well, with a good dose of high quality vfx and production standards which can be expected of an amazon prime sponsored series. The first few episodes are entertaining and set the mood in the right direction but soon you realize that this series really does not know what it wants to be.*********SPOILERS AHEAD **********THE SCREENPLAY: Poor would be an understatement. The plot ignores the game of cricket most of the time and focuses more on badly written characters, some really bad acting (more on that later) , and no sense of direction. What starts off as a cricket series is soon transformed into a script where you witness murder, cricketers going undercover to solve a crime, a half baked love story which leads nowhere and a world where characters either cuss, get high or cuss...again. Also, you have a scene where a character is shot in the team dressing room and another character ( the villain) is smacked in the face with the team cricket bat ....need I say more....THE CHARACTERS: This probably is the series weakest point. Apart from a few excellent performances from Amit Sial, Sayani Gupta and Sanjay Suri most of the other characters suffer from poor writing, one dimensional characterization and week dialogues which sound more like punch lines than actual conversations.Vivek Oberoi is a notch below terrible here. He hams it up in every scene with the same expression, desperately trying to be and look evil, but in turn looking like an actor who has been told to hold just one expression throughout the movie. Richa Chadha does is good but suffers due to a badly written character who fails to garner audience sympathy. Most of the other characters are forgettable.THE PRODUCTION: This is where Inside Edge shines. The production value is off the charts creating a great atmosphere during cricket matches but the same production value becomes overbearing when the focus moves away from cricket.I understand that they were trying to show the lifestyle of the super wealthy but in doing so they went so far away from realism that the whole series looks like a bunch of disjointed ideas.Inside Edge could have been an authentic look at the nations obsession with cricket and the shenanigans which go on behind the scene, but unfortunately, it ends up becoming an overblown melodramatic train wreck.RESULT : NOT WORTH IT!
