Shiksha Mandal Verdict of the series
In India, we have seen many educational scams in recent years. Whether it’s the engineering school scams or any other entrance exam scam, the news fades very soon, as these scams have been subjected to some powerful politicians. This series is made on the concept of medical entry scams based on some real life incidents. Picking such a controversial concept and making it look real on screen isn’t that easy. But this series manages to engage audiences with its raw and realistic approach to scam.
When it comes to acting, Gulshan Devaiah has once again proven that he picks the subjects that best suit him and that he has some noteworthy things. He was brilliant as usual. Gauahar Khan looks fine in some scenes. It is Pavan Raj Malhotra who will be remembered after watching this series. The interpretation of him is one of the highlights of this series. He can fit into any type of role and give his best. It is sad to see such talented actors who have been ignored for mainstream films. All the other actors did their part well as required for the series.
Technically Shiksha Mandal looks good. The music of this series is fine and fits the mood of the genre chosen for this series. The photography handled by Subhransu is good, although the series is shot in Bhopal and surrounding locations, we can sense the dark environment that is usually seen in some crime-prone locations in India.
Director Syed Ahmad Afzal should be appreciated for his writing and realistic approach to the content, without adding many commercial elements.
Overall, Shiksha Mandal deserves serial streaming for its taw content and realistic execution.
