Synopsis

36 Days

The story begins with the murder of Farah Zaidi, an event that triggers a narrative countdown unfolding backwards from 36 days prior. Set within Casa De Magnolia, an upscale suburban housing complex located in Goa, its various residents are introduced. Among them is Tony Walia, a chauvinistic womanizer whose outward charm masks a darker, more sinister side, Noel, a menacing drug lord whose presence casts a shadow over the community, Benaifer Machado, an overbearing baker grieving the loss of her daughter, harboring secrets that complicate her relationships, Tara, a transgender artist, who struggles against societal prejudices while seeking acceptance, Lalita, a successful but enigmatic businesswoman, and Dr. Rishikesh Jaykar, a celebrated microbiologist, hides a hidden agenda beneath his professional facade.

The actors lend their disparate strengths – flamboyant Chandan Roy Sanyal and Sushant Digvikar, muted Purab Kohli and Shruti Seth, a bit theatrical Shernaz Patel, Kenneth Desai and Faisal Rashid, competent Amruta Khanvilkar and Sharib Hashmi, and the sultry Neha Sharma. The eight-part series moves at a leisurely pace. Everything that happens does not necessarily connect to the murder. The helter-skelter format is more to build suspense and comment on the corrosive effects of pretence or the damage caused by ignoring mental health issues. All that acid bubbles under stylish villas with pretty foliage. Aerial shots by cinematographer Qais Waseeq reveal the bungalows set like jewels amidst verdant surroundings, without any eyesores in sight. The location alone could be a good reason to watch the show. Just as wedding movies influence fashion, 36 Days might give viewers home decor ideas.
