Anger Tales Web Series : Rating Analysis
Altogether, the Anger Tales anthology directed by Nithin Prabhala Thilak is a missed opportunity. He has the talented cast of Suhas, Venkat Maha, Ravindra Vijay, Phani Acharya, Bindu Madhavi, etc but failed to get the optimum out of it. Though he attempted to highlight the problems faced by the people in society, he failed to either show it in an entertaining or interesting, or impactful way. The narration lacks intensity and novelty and ended up in a mundane manner. The screenplay and direction adopted a predictable approach and this decreased the interest levels. With no real twists and interesting developments, viewers fail to get connected to the narration emotionally. With a little bit of fine-tuning, Anger Tales would have made a bigger impact. For all its flaws, a couple of episodes makes an impression. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 1.5 Rating for Anger Tales.
