About the Plot of Jamtara | JAMTARA : SABKA NUMBER AYEGA
Story-line and Review The story-line revolves around the city of Jamtara in Jharkhand. Here Sunny and his friends undertake phishing to fulfill their financial needs. They get their antlers with Brajesh Bhan in a fight for freedom and financial supremacy. For those who do not know what phishing is, in layman terms, it is an act of impersonating any bank official and squeezing out personal bank account details. This is over the phone which is to do any online transaction.
Phishing is a cyber-crime and is a punishable offence under Section 43 of the Information Technology Act, 2000 with a penalty of up to INR 1 Crore. While many shows tend to show good content, they miss out on making it feel real and relatable. But that’s definitely not the case with this show as the sense of authenticity and relatability has been kept intact while maintaining the story-line.
The characters don’t just seem to be playing the part, they tend to live the part and that’s what adds to the relatability and genuinity of the content.
About the Genre and media providers of Jamtara | JAMTARA : SABKA NUMBER AYEGA
The show’s genre is that of Crime and Drama and has been written by Trishant Srivastava (Writer) and Nishank Verma (Writer, Actor). Earlier there was a tradition of those extra-long episodes and loads of seasons. But, nowadays the shows have been limited to just one (1) season or a maximum of two (2) seasons with majority of the episodes lasting for a time span of under thirty (30) minutes which make them all the more desirable for the public to watch as they can now be completed while travelling to and for work.
Now, one doesn’t miss out on the ending of any episode which used to happen earlier and cause unwanted suspense & subsequently disinterest in the series.
It is rightly said that the devil lies in the details and this can be noticed with the creativity in the title. The alphabet ‘r’ in Jamtara has been replaced with an INR symbol which gives us a bit more in-depth insight about the series. Not just this, but the background poster is also an eye-catcher which depicts violence and rivalry.
With the entry of many online media-services providers in the Indian market place such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Zee5 and AltBalaji, directors, writers and actors have been constantly breaking stereotypes. Explicit content is openly shown and abusive languages are no longer beeped out, which improves the purity of any content and brings laughter at times too. The same is with Jamtara.
Some more about the Series | JAMTARA : SABKA NUMBER AYEGA
While the characters stick to the story-line and keep you glued to the seat, there are a few instances where there is somewhat adult yet lighthearted comedy. However, there is one gripe that pinches in this series and it is the uncertain end. The series ends abruptly and in a manner that isn’t expected.
The viewer is left with many schools of thoughts and is confused about the possible happenings in the later stage. Maybe this is one of the tactics to keep any series live in the audience’s mind for a longer period and this even provides a room for the creation of another season.
But, for the time being, with that very uncertain end, the show seems to have lost its charm by the time it has reached the very end.
