Whistleblower Web Series Review: Good series with bad writing

Ritwik Bhowmik after entertaining people as Radhe in Bandish Bandits is back in action with Whistleblower. The series is based on Vyapam scam which occurred in Madhya Pradesh and was exposed in 2013. The show is told from the point of view of the whistleblower who is on a mission to expose the racket.

The students who sit in Pre Medical Tests and other such entrance exams where a student's future is determined by powerful state politicians and public servants who give seats to the undeserving candidates in exchange for large amounts of money.

Although the series is based on the scam the writing of the series puts it down. When Scam 1992 was released on SonyLiv it created a sensation but the series despite having a great star cast failed to create such kind of sensation.

The star cast of the series cannot save the series as well. Ritwik's performance is praiseworthy which moves us otherwise the series is not an outstanding one. It can be watched by those who wish to understand the details of educational scams.
