Gamerlog Season 1 Review: A predictable esports drama that fails to hit the high score
Story: Raghu (Darsheel Safary), a small-town boy from Surat, gets a life-changing chance to join a pro esports team in Mumbai and compete in the elite Tournament of Champions. Can he rise to the challenge and turn his gaming dream into reality? Review: In an era where digital dreams and online fame are fast becoming a generational aspiration, Gamerlog steps in to tell the story of one such dreamer. With a unique gaming backdrop and a strong emotional thread, this six-part series attempts to blend ambition, rebellion, and the evolving world of Indian esports. But despite its earnestness, the show falters in execution, delivering a lukewarm narrative that never fully taps into its potential. The plot revolves around Raghu aka Maverick (Safary), a quiet but skilled gamer from Surat who rebels against his conservative parents' IIT dreams to pursue his own path in Mumbai's burgeoning esports scene. There, he joins 'Team Gamerlog,' led by the determined Joanna (Anjali Sivaraman), whose own journey to gaming stardom is mired in personal and professional challenges. Along with team members Lalit (Chetan Dhawan), Jaggi (Chinmay Chandraunshuh), Saurabh (Shubroy Chowdhury), and Mahesh (Akash Menon), they battle both external rivals and internal conflicts, all culminating in their big break: The Tournament of Champions, India's most coveted esports event. Directed by debutant Arya Deo and written by Karmanaya Ahuja, the show ambitiously aims to go beyond surface-level gaming tropes and delve into the emotional arcs of its young characters. Unfortunately, while the intention is admirable, the treatment is far too formulaic. The conflicts are predictable, the character arcs familiar, and the interpersonal dynamics never quite evolve into something truly engaging. The pacing feels uneven, and despite the high-stakes gaming setup, the emotional stakes rarely resonate deeply. Performance-wise, Gamerlog does have its moments. Darsheel Safary delivers a grounded and relatable performance as Raghu, capturing both his vulnerability and determination with sincerity. Anjali Sivaraman brings an understated charisma to Joanna, though her character remains underwritten in key emotional beats. The ensemble cast – Chetan Dhawan, Chinmay Chandraunshuh, Saurabh Shubroy Chowdhury, and Akash Menon – put in decent efforts, but the team chemistry never quite clicks. Kunal Bhan as the rival team leader and Joanna's former flame adds some tension, though it never escalates into anything truly gripping. Visually, the series does attempt to capture the vibrancy of gaming tournaments and digital life, but it often relies on clichéd montages and underwhelming game sequences. The emotional transitions feel forced at times, and the show struggles to balance the competitive thrills with the depth it wants to portray. In conclusion, Gamerlog is a decent one-time watch, particularly for Gen Z viewers who may find pockets of relatability in its themes of rebellion and digital ambition. But beyond that, it lacks the storytelling sharpness and emotional depth to truly stand out in the coming-of-age or sports drama genres. A show about chasing dreams should ideally soar—but here, it barely gets off the ground.

Aruna Irani reveals why she was never close to cousin Bindu: ‘We kept our distance... they didn't like us asking for money'
Aruna Irani , one of Indian cinema's most prolific actresses with over 500 films to her credit, recently opened up about her distant relationship with cousin and fellow actress Bindu . In a recent interview, the veteran actress revealed how complicated family ties and financial struggles contributed to their lack of closeness. 'She is my step-massi's (aunt's) daughter,' Aruna explained. 'My maternal grandfather had two wives—one was my mother's mother, and the other was someone else. Bindu was from the second wife. We were never close as cousins,' she told Lehren Retro. Aruna on early financial struggles Sharing how financial strain created a divide, Aruna recalled, 'Her father was a director, Nanubhai Desai, and they always kept their distance. What used to happen was that we didn't have much money, so my mother would often borrow from Jyoti Maasi because she couldn't let her children go hungry, right?' The actress added that she was often sent to ask for small amounts of money, which didn't sit well with the other side of the family. 'Unse baar baar Rs 50 de do, Rs 30 de do aise karke mujhe bhejte the lene ke liye. Toh unko pasand nahi tha,' she said. 'There was nothing wrong in it, but it was like, 'Why do you keep asking for money all the time?' So a distance remained between us because we felt something unpleasant might come of it. ' Aruna Irani: Mehmood made my career and he was also responsible for my downfall No professional overlap kept the gap intact Aruna also noted that despite both finding success in the same industry, they never collaborated onscreen. 'After we both became actors, we never grew close because we never worked together. People would either cast her or me—so we never got the chance to meet.' Both Aruna Irani and Bindu became household names in Hindi cinema through the 70s and 80s—often playing strong character roles, comic parts, or vamps.
