Huma Qureshi and Avantika Dasani starrer web series ‘Mithya’ has been released on ZEE5. The story of truth, lies, rivalry and complicated relationships is ‘Mithya’. Sometimes what we see is not the truth. Truth is that which we cannot see. The story of ‘Mithya’ is also similar. This is a dark psychological thriller based web series, which shows you that aspect of relationships which the world cannot see closely.

There is a word in English, Pleasureism. It means plagiarism. Before watching the web series Mithya released on Zee5, it is important to know the meaning of Pleasureism because the story begins from here and it has not been explained anywhere. Riya Rajguru (Avantika Dasani), a first-year college student, is accused by her Hindi professor Juhi Adhikari (Huma Qureshi) of plagiarism. Riya denies this and this is where tensions arise between the two. Which creates disturbance in their personal lives growing up and the matter reaches a murder. The question is who did the murder and why. What does this have to do with placerism? Who is trapping whom?

Mithya Review: The Story

The series revolves around Juhi Adhikari (Huma Qureshi) and Riya Rajguru (Avantika Dasani). Juhi Adhikari is a professor of Hindi literature in Darjeeling’s top college. With the dream of becoming a writer, Riya Rajguru takes admission in the same college and Juhi becomes the officer’s student. Riya Rajguru is the spoiled daughter of a rich father, who neither comes to college on time nor is able to speak Hindi properly. But writing in Hindi is very good. This attitude of Riya is not liked by her professor Juhi Adhikari and she fails her in Hindi literature.

From here comes a new twist in the story. Riya, who is burning in the fire of revenge, reaches Juhi’s house to take revenge. Riya makes Juhi’s father Anand (Rajit Kapoor), husband Neel Adhikari (Parambrata Chatterjee) the pawn of her trick. Everything happens as Riya wants in the story. Riya falls to such an extent that she even murders Juhi’s husband. But why, can a student really kill someone just because of failure. No? Absolutely not. Then what is the real reason for Riya’s anger, which she gets so annoyed with her professor Juhi Adhikari. It will be interesting to watch the whole series to know this truth.

Mithya Review and Analysis

Psychological thriller films and web series are always considered good because they contain mystery, drama, action and many other things, which keep the audience in their seats. However, this is not the case with the false series. Barring the characters of Huma Qureshi and Avantika Dasani, hardly any artist can manage to keep the audience captivated with their acting. This dark web series by Rohan Sippy is a one time watch. It is good that there are only 6 episodes of this series, because if there were more than this, then the story of the series could have become a bit cumbersome. The best part of the series which is worth watching is the toxic relationship between a teacher and a student. This is the only thing worth watching in the series. The name of this series is false, but it seems a bit confusing. What’s true what’s a lie? This concept is a bit missing from the series, while the title of the series itself is false.

If you have seen the British TV show ‘Cheat’ released in the year 2019, then it is better not to see the false, because after watching it you will also come to mind that ‘Cheat’ was better than this. Huma and Avantika’s series Mithya is an adaptation of the British TV show Cheat. The way in which even today the mind wants to see the cheat in one go, in that way the false seems to be weakening somewhere.

However, this film is a must see once because the tremendous work that Avantika Dasani has done with her debut series, may surprise you. Avantika Dasani A small packet has proved to be a big blast. With her acting, Avantika has proved that she is going to run a long race in the industry. Apart from Avantika, this series should also be seen for the brilliant performances of Huma and Parambrata. The work of these two artists is amazing, like every time. Apart from this, the acting of the rest of the actors has been average. There were only two actors in this series, Avantika and Huma… You can definitely watch this dark web series once for both of them.

Mithya Review: Star Performances

We all know that Huma Qureshi is one of the finest actresses of Bollywood, who knows how to mold her character. In the role of Hindi professor, Huma not only spoke strong dialogues, but also gave amazing expressions on every dialogue. It was a good experience to see Huma in the role of Juhi Adhikari. On the other hand, if we talk about Avantika, then she has also done commendable work in her debut series. There are many scenes of Avantika, in which she was seen scaring people with her action and expression. Avantika’s acting as a fresher in the industry is commendable.

As we told in the beginning that ‘Mithya’ is a dark psychological thriller based series. So from that point of view, the direction of the series was very good. However, some scenes are further improved, but it doesn’t matter. It can be ignored because of a good story. Every scene in ‘Mithya’ has been shot closely and an attempt has been made to bring the story to the audience, which is rarely seen.
