Stars: Shreedhar Dubey, Radha Bhatt, Anurag Thakur
Physics Wallah, starring Shridhar Dubey, Radha Bhatt, Anurag Thakur, Satyan Sharma, Anuraag Arora, Ishika Gagneja and others. Created by About Films, produced and directed by Abhishek Dhandhari, the Amazon TV mini-series is written by Sameer Mishra. There are 6 episodes of approximately 50 minutes.
The synopsis reads, "Physics Wallah is the story of a brilliant young teacher's vision for a highly affordable, advanced education system and his journey to bring this vision to life."
Based on the inspiring life story of Alakh Pandey, the founder and CEO of EdTech unicorn 'Physics Wallah', who is credited with revolutionizing online education, particularly for science students. The series delves into his vision and the difficulties he encountered in bringing an affordable education system to the world.
Amazon mini TV Physics Wallah begins with a young B-Tech student named Alakh Pandey, who wants to do something big in life. He is in his third year of college. Alakh comes across an opening for a physics teacher at a popular high school. However, when things didn't go his way, Alakh had to yearn for his niche. From trying to work as a physics teacher at a private college to starting his own YouTube channel as a classroom for those looking for answers, Alakh's journey has been phenomenal.
Amazon's series roundup looks pretty inspiring. The first episode also hints that it will be shocking and enlightening. However, the series contains only a few impressive moments. Alakh Pandey, the physics teacher, played by Shridhar Dubey, is constantly aggressive. We hardly see him with the calm and poise of a teacher.
The character's constant whiny, domineering, and aggressive nature makes Alakh highly unlikeable. I'm sure that in real life Alakh must be a better human being and has lost his cool every time things don't go his way. However, actor Shridhar's physics teacher portrayal leaves you agitated. You don't feel like rooting for a character who constantly yells at his sister, his parents, and his colleagues.
Physics Wallah, from producer-director Abhishek Dhadharia, follows Alakh Pandey (Shreedhar Dubey), an engineering dropout who specializes in turning physics, one of the most terrifying subjects, into something understandable to students. He strongly believes that “the purpose of life is to seek knowledge and pass it on”, and that in order to do so, one must find a way to spread education. The show explores the young man's innermost feelings as he navigates his own hopes and expectations and those of other students in a very realistic way. The protagonist contributes to the believable tone and tenor of the story.
The story is based on Alakh's real-life experiences and his passion for teaching, but it is Sameer Mishra's sharp writing that brings the right amount of drama, emotions and the running of training centers to the film. screen. But the script's pacing is very erratic. The scenes where Alakh discovers a way to reach more and more students and makes his way to success are interesting. However, when it comes to his personal life, the pace of the show slows down, making these six episodes (50 minutes each) very long. Tighter editing would have made this series much easier and more engaging to watch. The background music complements the drama, but it's the title track that stays with you the longest.
Alakh's dream project of training the students runs into inevitable teething problems. However, he does not lose hope. Despite the obvious outcome, Shreedhar Dubey's honest performance keeps this drama going. He makes Alakh's journey look relatable on screen. Dubey perfectly captures the style of the real Alakh Pandey, even greeting his students with "Hi bacho, kaise ho aap sab." Both Radha Bhatt, who plays his older sister, and Anurag Thakur, who plays his best friend Tushar, are positive and motivating influences on him.
Altogether, Physics Wallah deserves a watch for its undeniable authenticity and the lesson it teaches about pursuing one's dreams, regardless of the obstacles that get in the way.
All of these conversations about life and success often occur at the end of each episode and are preachy. It happens whenever the characters talk to the viewers instead of talking to themselves. What's sad is that even if the people around are giving our protagonist good advice, he is constantly ranting. Even the students, much younger than him, don't have that attitude.
The series will premiere on Amazon Mini TV on 15, December 2022.
