Synopsis
Nand Kishore Tyagi (Ayushmaan Saxena) is an 11th standard student, obsessed with a singular aim – losing his virginity. The story is set in small-town Meerut, bang in the middle of the Hindi heartland. Not only Nand, but everyone in town seems to be preoccupied with sex – the women discuss it in their kitty gatherings, the men crave it on the sly, and pubescent teens, like Nand and his friends, are fascinated with it.
Into the melee arrives Shanu Madam, Nand’s new English teacher. The lady oozes sex appeal and sensuality, and — in an interesting plot device — has a sexy alter ego, Rasbhari. Rasbhari is as debauched as Shanu is prim and proper. She’s a sex-crazy nymphomaniac, who will make out with any man who asks her, “Aur koi seva ho toh batao madam.” Pretty soon, the entire male population of the town – Nand’s father included – is salivating to be noticed by Shanu Madam, or aka… Rasbhari. Nand makes it his mission to lose his virginity to his sexy new English teacher. There is a charcter also of Priyanka who love Nand . So, that there is a love triangle formed finally who will won in this battle of love ? That is the story of Rashbhari
Performances
Swara Bhasker
Though given a meaty role with a lot of juice to extract from it, Swara Bhasker fails to sink her teeth into it to the bone. By the end of the eight episode-series, what she manages to get is a mere few juicy bits of the meat. She begins well, flitting between the righteous Shanu Madam and the raunchy Rasbhari with seamless elegance. But midway into the series, her act loses steam and coalesces into a listless, half-hearted portrayal of a decidedly interesting character. I wonder what a Kangana or a Vidya would have done with Rasbhari. Vidya Balan’s The Dirty Picture outing is still the gold standard when it comes to depicting a debauched sex symbol. And Kangana’s bipolar personality act in Judgemental Hai Kya is brilliant, to say the least. To come back to Swara in Rasbhari, we would say she’s put in a decent enough performance, but could have done a whole lot more. The difference in her portrayal of the two markedly different characterisations is not stark enough to raise it to above average levels, leave alone brilliant. I personally think if there were any other actress casted in that role then she will do it better because the way swara speaks looks totaly fake
Ayushmaan Saxena
he has put in a great performance as Nand. He gets the bafflement with his teacher’s blowing hot/blowing cold personality right, as also the Meerut dialect. He is so natural in his performance but the story spoil it all.
Rashmi Agdekar
Her performance as Priyanka is eye-catching. She’s got the sassy Meerut girl act perfectly right. and she is the best performer from entire cast
Supporting Cast
The supporting cast, mainly the teen brigade, leads the way in giving the series a leg-up in the performance department. Akshay Batchu as Bhalla is a riot, while Akshay Suri and Sunakshi Grover are passable. Sunakshi Grover made a mark in the TVF series Flames, but is not as good here. Most arresting is everyone’s grasp and rendition of the Meerut dialect. It is spot on, and none of the characters lets it slip even once. Chittaranjan Tripathy is his usual reticent self as Nand’s father. His poker-faced dialogue delivery is always a joy to watch. Neelu Kohli is a tad bit loud in her outing as Nand’s mother and wary wife.
