Positive Points(90’s Web Series)
The appeal of the 1990s lies in its ability to resonate with a broad audience, including young people. The 1990s is a sentimental journey to revisit those wonderful memories that everyone of us has from our time in school. There is a conversation at the opening that says the 90s aren’t so much about having a great plot as they are about portraying small, endearing moments from everyday life. Because of this, it doesn’t feel like you’re watching a movie. The series has everything so organic.
There will be plenty of scenes that work well with us. Those priceless moments include our first love in school, expecting money from relatives when they come to visit, attempting to watch our favorite TV shows when our father isn’t home, and berating our mother for cooking too much. Since these are things that most people have done at some point in their lives, there is a high degree of relatability. All of these are presented by the director in a charming way.
Throughout the entire series, the fun factor is retained. Additionally, the feelings are presented in an organized way. Most housewives can identify with Vasuki’s moment with Shivaji, in which she describes the struggles she faces in order to keep the household running well.
Shivaji and Vasuki are essentially a portrayal of middle-class parents.
In the series, every artist gave it their all. In his role as the head of a middle-class household, Shivaji does it perfectly, In lighthearted and poignant passages alike, he is fantastic. Vasuki is a perfect fit for the role of homemaker, and her portrayal is endearing. The roles played by Shivaji and Vasuki are essentially a portrayal of middle-class parents.
Mouli, Vasanthika, and Rohan steal the show. These three do a fantastic job of bringing the adorable tiny moments between the siblings to life. With the majority of the screen time, Mouli gives an excellent performance. Adorable as Vasanathika and Rohan are, Snehal Kamat makes an impression.
Negative Points
Shivaji’s discussion regarding education at private schools in the third episode should have been presented more skillfully. There are moments when the pacing seems a little slow, and certain sequences are repeated.
As previously mentioned, the 1990s lack a compelling narrative and as a result, they become formulaic. For greater effect, the editing team might have cut a few sequences.
Technical Details:
Suresh Bobbili’s soundtrack is calming and deftly fits with the series’ softer tone. Azeem Mohammad’s cinematography is quite good. The producers invested the money needed for the show. A couple scenes should have been shorter, but overall the editing is decent.
Bravo to filmmaker Aditya Hasan for creating a family-friendly film that is so clean. The show, which combines humorous and poignant elements, is a true homage to the children of the 1990s and their parents. Even if the show moves slowly at times, family viewers will undoubtedly find it appealing.
Conclusion:
Overall, 90’s is an enjoyable family film with lots of nostalgic moments. Like the show’s slogan suggests, 90’s is a genuine middle-class biography with lots of endearing moments. In their parts, Shivaji, Vasuki, Mouli, Vasanthika, and Rohan do rather well. The narrative is clear-cut and easy to follow, but it has been delivered in a charming way.
