The Review : Amazon miniTVs’ Alakh Pandey, a young B-Tech student who aspires to achieve great things in life, is the protagonist of Physics Wallah. He is a third-year college student. At a well-known university, Alakh finds a job opening for a physics instructor. Alakh had to yearn for his niche though when things didn’t go as he had planned. Alakh’s path has been incredible, going from wanting to work as a Physics teacher at a private teaching institute to launching his own YouTube channel as a school for those looking for answers.
The Amazon series’ synopsis sounds quite motivational. It also gives away that it will be profound and educational in the first episode. However, there aren’t many breathtaking scenes throughout the entire series. Shridhar Dubey’s portrayal of the physics teacher Alakh Pandey is antagonistic all the time. We hardly ever witness him displaying the composure and poise of a teacher. Alakh is an extremely unlikable character due to his persistent whining, belligerent, and domineering traits. Alakh must be a wonderful person in real life, and I’m sure he’s lost his composure when things haven’t gone his way. However, you become upset watching actor Shridhar play the Physics teacher. A character who is continually ranting at his sister, parents, and coworkers is difficult to cheer for.
These pompous discussions on life and accomplishment that frequently occur at the conclusion of each show. When characters address the audience rather than themselves, it occurs. Saddly, despite the fact that many around him are advising our protagonist well, he cannot stop yelling. Even the students, who are considerably younger than he is, don’t act in such a way.
If the effective implementation, characters, and performances had been better, Physics Wallah would have been a compelling watch overall. It is not at all inspiring to follow a man who is always ranting at people for things that are out of their control. Alakh Pandey’s stories and tribulations in real life sometimes emerge into sermons. Considering everything, Physics Wallah is worth seeing for its evident sincerity and the message it imparts about pursuing one’s aspirations despite challenges that may arise.
