What Is the Story About?

Story:With OK Computer, we finally have a self-made science fiction show. We can finally surpass Mr. India and become the only respectable science fiction reference in Bollywood and Indian pop culture, because, let's face reality, Tarzan Miracle Car It didn't really cut it for us.

Disney-Hotstar's latest product takes a minute to settle down, and even so, it is a learned taste. We entered India in 2031, artificial intelligence and robots are all around us. From office cleaners to crime scene technicians, they are all over-although they want to know why they are so depraved.

A human being was hit and killed by an autonomous vehicle, and the Panjim Internet team took over the case. Inspector Sayan Kundu (Vijay Varma), who hates robots, takes the helm. This is the main case setting. How he went down the rabbit hole to solve this case constituted a six-episode season.

Under the explanation of a group of weird and meticulous profile figures, Kundu had to fight an uphill battle. He struggled with complicated procedures, bureaucratic tricks and even artificial intelligence. Kundu is reminiscent of those super police officers-we have seen them in countless police programs flowing everywhere-they walk to their drums, have angry problems, and usually don't get along well with normal Janta. But he does have perseverance and quirks to solve a seemingly unsolvable case.

                                                                                   

To be honest, India has never really done science fiction. We don’t even have enough local literature and writing topics, even though we have millions of people who aspire to be doctors and engineers. Let us not forget that we Indians single-handedly shaped the Silicon Valley of the United States. But when it comes to science fiction as a genre, Bollywood has never really embraced it. The emergence of OK computers comes at a time when we have to integrate technology into our lives, from social WhatsApp groups to attending Zoom work meetings. This show is weird and sometimes absurd, but it does raise very important questions related to our day and age.

When Inspector Kundu was in the case, he locked the corner with Lakshmi (Radhika Apt), who is the representative of PETER, the Robot Rights Initiative. Although the two of them disagree, they studied various conspiracy theories-whether the car was hacked, or whether the large technology conglomerate CNX was behind the murder. Pushpak Sundar, the role of an anti-robot, anti-vaccine, and anti-gravity cult master, was also examined. We also met Ajib, the super robot master made in 2012, who made the whole country unable to eat, but left everything to those who pursued comedy as a call. Sci-fi comedy dressed up as a fool, but it is a bitter satire of contemporary phenomena.

There are digging about fake news, stayamav jayate, climate change, Hindi imposing, beliefs, surveillance status and patriotism, but they are cleverly packaged. It's not your face, a thump in your chest, it's a bit ironic. OK A computer is like a piece of literature, you have to wait for it to reveal its cleverness.

Special mention is made of this weird factor: a Mariali police officer whose mother asked her to sign a nondisclosure agreement at the age of 15 because she was part of a cult; an inspector who lived in his car with fur-lined seats in Goa The heat: Kundu with a DCP who whispers something sweet to pipe her anger instead of bashing on his head. However, given that everyone in the world now has access to Japanese anime and has seen the Western world, the graphics could have been better.

This show was produced by Anand Gandhi, who dared to go to places where no one had risked before. But considering his drama, The Ship of Theseus, Tombard and Game Sassoon, this is to be expected. Highly layered programs are not for everyone, even for those who like science fiction, it will take some time to adapt. But get over it, because it's worth it.                                                          

                

What’s different in OK Computer (2021) Season 1

Not all bad shows are the same. Some-and these are more common-are made by people who don't know how to tell stories. But others, like OK Computer this week, were created by people who clearly understand movies better. In a month's time, Hot Star has produced two.

Although 1962: The War in the Mountains was incompetent in every imaginable department, the OK computer co-produced by the always interesting Anand Gandhi is more esoteric. When we were first introduced to the role of Radhika Apter, she was rushing to the stage to quote Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robots." However, it should be noted that Asimov was never mentioned in the show, and it almost seemed to pass on these concepts as their own.

OK Computer borrowed the absurd tone of Jacques Tati's film and combined it with Kundan Shah's weirdness. "Sayan Kundu" by Vijay Varma is a police officer who discovered a conspiracy while investigating a murder case. He is very much like Naserdin Shah and Ravi Baswani in "Jia Everyone's role in "Ne Bido Yarrow". Although this show is set in the future, it deals with many of the same themes because of the cult classics: a mashup of corporate corruption, cumbersome procedures, and free will, as well as some special cultural commentaries on fake news media.

                                                                                          

When a self-driving car killed a person, Sayan was called to investigate. He joined Apt's Laxmi, and their dynamics can basically be described as an unscripted screaming game that lasts about four hours. They are talented performers, but OK Computer throws them into a mess of absurd conspiracies and half-baked ideas.

The absurdity of this show takes a while to get used to. It is hailed as India's first science fiction comedy, but even those who claim it know it is not true. The show uses Goa as the blue sky, majestic holograms dominate the skyline, and drones buzzing overhead. The B movies of the 1950s clearly defined the show's "future" concept. There are a lot of beeps and boos, janky gadgets, and a mature supporting role, which looks like it is made of abandoned Nilkamaru furniture, sounds like an aunt Parsi.

His name is Ajib, and (in the example of the show's ambitious core), he is portrayed as a new god worshipped by an impressive Indian. His arrival triggered a new wave of nationalism, but it plunged him into an existential crisis. After three months of meditation, Ajib reappeared in his new career goal. He became a stand-up comedian.

This show uses news clippings and narrations to convey the background story in the most cumbersome way. It is undeniable that this is one of its smartest ideas. Almost half of the second episode is an exhausting expo dump.

Because there is no real person to talk about in OK Computer, it is difficult to form an emotional connection with anyone. The program itself is constantly distracted from the central "Murder Mystery", so regular, I hope that our concern will be a bit rich. In each episode, it introduces new "rules" and, frankly, it is impossible to keep up. For example, the fourth episode was determined to be the best time to show Sayan carrying custom coins. He threw these coins into a wishing well, and there was one living in it. He had some connection with it, and so on.

Then there is the analogy aesthetics. The show has always forgotten that it should insist, unnecessarily determining that some kind of film crew is following the investigation of Sayan and Laxmi. This is probably the most cinematic exercise that OK Computer has started.

                                                                                       

But compared with the show's handling of Jackie Schroef, all the crimes appear pale and weak. In "OK Computer", he played the leader of a cult who gave up various technologies: this is a brilliant idea, considering that Schroef may be the only actor in Bollywood who can credibly start a quasi-religious clan, and more The important thing is to attract followers. As always, his "Bindas Bidou" character took over his role Pushpak Shakur, so much that it almost felt like the crew had convened in his farmhouse and secretly filmed everyone's favorite." Mao Xi" in his natural habitat.
