All Guild Reviews of "Pritam and Pedro"
Rajkumar Hirani Makes a Long-Form and Out-of-Form OTT Debut
The six-episode drama about a tech-averse policeman teaming up with a young hacker is trapped in a bygone era.
A young man, Pritam (Vir Hirani), is jailed for threatening a lazy constable. It’s Goa, of course. Pritam watches as the inspector of the police station, Pedro (Arshad Warsi), hears of a high-profile ATM robbery. The middle-aged cops have no idea where to start. So Pritam offers to help in return for freedom; he is immediately allowed to use their computer, and in ten minutes, he tracks the culprits down. He does it with the grating innocence of a child educating his grandparents about electronics.
A Stunningly Dull, Bizarrely Structured, Tonally Confused Dud on Arrival, With None of the Token Raju Hirani Warmth, Wit and Whimsy.
The Right Mix
It’s an age-old but workable mix. Stodgy, old school police inspector Pedro (Arshad Warsi) can’t pronounce fuchsia, 1-2-3-4 is his password and he’s ready to tear his hair when an influencer wants to file an FIR to find her missing followers. It’s a punishment posting for Pedro when a minister on the warpath (Satyadeep Mishra) has him taken off his regular beat to head the cyber cell. Pedro and tech wiz Pritam (Vir Hirani) make an odd pair. But when the minister’s bratty son goes missing, it is Pedro’s traditional sleuthing methods and Pritam’s new-age tech skills that combine to get to the bottom of the crime.
