Aashram…
Streaming now on MX player
Parminder ( Pammi ) is trying to escape from the Aashram and the security guards are trying to stop her….now the story starts in a flashback mode as to how Pammi got into this Aashram
She is a talented female wrestler, but being from a low caste, the organizers are impartial with her and denies her a deserved victory
During their community’s wedding, the bridegroom is bashed up badly by high caste guys….and here the Baba steps in to help. This is how Pammi is been influenced towards Kashiwale Baba
One other story is there…..wherein a nearby forest area, one skeleton is discovered on a construction site
Let us enter the Aashram’s premises now…
Japnaam
Kashipur wale baba ki jai
Gareebo wale baba ki jai
Nirale wale baba ki jai
It is one huge estate and functioning like a town in itself with hitech systems installed
1. Various checkpoints at the entry and exit gates
2. CCTV cameras at every nook and corner
3. Security forces with guns and other weapons
4. Bank, hospital, warehouses, factories, schools, jail, hostels, residences, canteens, meditation cent,er and Baba’s royal palace
The director…Prakash Jha ( Apaharan, Gangajal, etc ) has made it brilliantly with disclosing the true picture and happenings inside such Aashrams
It is shown that financially poor and low caste people are the ones who gets more attracted towards these babas and how they are exploited
Where the funding comes from, who all are involved…..sab dikhaya hai
Big Industrialists
The chief minister
Ex-chief minister
Inspector general
Local police
Everybody is under the baba’s control
The level of brainwash he does on the name of Shuddhi Karan, that his devotees are not ready to hear a single word against him
It’s disheartening to see how innocent and helpless people fell easy prey for this Aashram
Once any person enters the aashram, these people make sure that there is no returning back from here
The level of homework done by his experts and the level of discipline shown in doing this organized crime is really commendable
Baba……nahin……Babaji bolo
Babaji wants more of the youth crowd to get attracted, so he plans to rope in a pop singer who is a famous youth icon. The politics played to get him in is ridiculously funny but sadly truth also
Artwork and cinematography…
It has that royal look, with king types attire, jewelry, throne, and crown for the Baba
The main hall for addressing the devotees has that Darbar wala look
The in house Goondas are given that fierce look
Bobby Deol…..in Abbas Mastan’s Ajnabee, Akshay Kumar played the negative character and Bobby was the good guy. That time I was imagining that what if this was opposite, it was impossible innocent-faced Bobby can never play villain…..but no guys…..he is fantastic here
With so much ease he’s pulled out a nice performance
His tall height
His relaxed speech
His bearded look
His right hand Bhupaji has an important role and well played too
Pammi the female wrestler
Her brother Satti
Satti’s wife Babita
Investigating officer Ujagar Singh
Forensic doctor Natasha
Ex-CM Hukam Singh
Are some other important characters
Bad words mouthed freely and lovemaking scenes comes in regularly to present that proper feel and maintain the image of the story
The series has 9 episodes in the first season ( around 40 mins each ). The story moves at a good pace, except the 7th episode where nothing much happens and could have been finished in 10 mins…..barring this, it will be a good watch
You will literally feel like getting on the next as soon as you finish one
Seeing the trailer of the second season, it seems it’s gonna be more khatarnak
Prakash Sir……jaldi shooting khatam karo aur stream kar do……waiting
Insightfully interesting review😊😊
