Plot:

It follows the journey of six ordinary Indians as they vie for fame and fortune on social media app Escaype Live. With the contest heating up, their virtual and real lives begin to merge.

Acting:

Aadyaa captivates the audience with her Rajasthani dance moves and emotional range. Sumedh impresses with his portrayal of the cunning and unpredictable prankster, Darkie. However, despite their great performances, the characters often lack enough depth and backstory for the audience to truly connect with them.

Cinematography:

In terms of cinematography and direction, Escaype Live is competent, but not exceptional. The visuals are bright and vibrant, capturing the energy of the social media app and its users.

Direction:

The direction often feels choppy and lacks cohesion, which may be attributed to the show's busy narrative.A promising plot with an interesting concept and some fine performances ultimately falls short due to poor execution.

Overall:

While the show tries to address important issues related to social media and its impact on our lives, it struggles to balance its many storylines and characters, leading to a lack of depth and impact.Remarkably, the show still manages to raise important questions about the dark side of social media and its toll on society. It serves as a cautionary tale while also entertaining the audience. Overall, while not groundbreaking, Escaype Live is worth a watch for those interested in the topic of social media and its implications.
