Pritam and Pedro

Rajkumar Hirani, Abhijat Joshi and Suyash Trivedi's screenplay is fast-paced and doesn’t have any dull moment.

Rajkumar Hirani, Abhijat Joshi and Suyash Trivedi craft a script that is sharp, funny and emotionally satisfying in equal measure.

His practical outlook and witty reactions keep the narrative engaging even during slower stretches.

Arshad Warsi is excellent at expressing the myriad emotions his character goes through: sorrow, professional struggle in the cyber world, domestic highs and lows, and finally finding a new partner-in-crime - and no, this time it isn't Munna Bhai.

Pritam and Pedro is an entertaining cybercrime thriller that doesn't always hit the mark, but Arshad Warsi and Vir Hirani's chemistry makes this six-episode series a breezy binge.

Vir Hirani makes an assured and noteworthy acting debut, marred only by stilted dialogue delivery.

Hirani’s sharp editing and script choices blend small, tied-up details into powerful, effortless satire where no detail is missed, no observation is wasted.

And some amount of fun is had by Warsi doing the kind of man who works best on his feet, but hates being tied down to his desk: this is an actor whom I enjoy watching, even when he is made to be too much of a tech-challenged ignoramus here than is believable.
