9 HOURS Web Series Review..



In the past, there was a web series called 'Leventh Hour' with the story of one night in Aaha. The ‘9 Hours’ web series is now streaming on Disney Plus Hot Star in the wake of Bank Robbery with a story that takes place in nine hours.

Based on the novel written by renowned author Malladi Venkata Krishnamurthy, the popular director Krishna is the show runner for this ‘9 Hours’. Jacob Varghese, who remade his film 'Destination' in Kannada; Ad filmmaker Niranjan Kaushik has directed the web series '9 Hours'. It was built by Krish's father Jagarlamudi Saibabu and Rajiv Reddy.

Story...

This is a 1985 story. The robbery took place at three branches of the Deccan Imperial Bank in Hyderabad almost simultaneously on the same day. Thieves successfully complete robbery at Musaram Bagh, Saidabad branch. But those who go into the Kothi Bank will only get into trouble. The information reaches the police before the robbers leave the bank. With that they surround the bank. APC Krishnamachari (Banerjee) hands over the task of catching the robbers in the bank to CI Pratap (Taraka Ratna). The subject of the robbery was leaked to the media while he was at work. Chitralekha (Madhushalini), a journalist from the Hyderabad Herald, immediately arrives at the scene. However, the investigation revealed that the three bank robberies were planned by jailor Vishwanath (Vinod Kumar) and he was assisted by prisoner Dasaratha (Ajay). Why did the jailer need to rob the banks like this? What was the background of Dasaratha who was imprisoned in Hyderabad from Rajahmundry Jail? Why did he actually side with the jailer in this bank robbery case? Was Viswanath's plot to commit robbery with the help of prisoners fruitful? Or not? What is the role of Home Minister Muniswamy Naidu (Vaddi Nagamahesh) in this whole affair? That is the story of this web series.

Analysis..

It is interesting to note that three banks and three gangs robbed at once. However, the robbery of the other two banks was just shown and the whole focus was on the Kothi branch. Being a web series based on the novel, many characters have been showing their backgrounds in detail in each episode. An attempt was made to tell the lives of the bank employees as well as the family details of those who came to the bank robbery. Some of it is a pathetic story, while others are a trivial past. We think of each episode as one hour. Because this ‘9 Hours’ web series goes on for a total of nine episodes. The film is nine episodes complete but the story does not reach Kanchi. This season just ends with the thieves fleeing the bank. It does not reveal what Dasaratha's real motive was for planning a bank robbery from jail. Also, CI Pratap, who was beaten by the robbers, was not shown anything. So the original story still remains. Each episode is approximately 30 minutes long. That means you have to spend four and a half hours to watch nine episodes. In fact, it's not worth it for this web series. In fact the story can be driven by slick directors without stretching it so much. But that did not work. With that being said Season 2 but viewers do not understand what the full story is.
