New Delhi: Actor Sivaji, who has been making headlines recently for his role in Bigg Boss Telugu, stars as the lead in a new family web series. His web drama is called 90’s, and he stars with Vasuki Anand and Tholi Prema, who are both well-known for their roles in Anni Manchi Sakunamule. The show is already streaming online from January 5th on ETV Win, an OTT service operated by the Eenadu group.

Storyline

With his wife Shoba and three children, Raghu, Divya, and Aditya, Chandrashekhar lives a middle-class life as a mathematics teacher at a government school. Aditya is a naughty kid, while Raghu and Divya, are mature for their age. The middle-class family finds joy in the ordinary, in enjoying life’s little joys and arguing about nothing.

Review:

It is soothing to watch the 90s with a nostalgic look back at life in a quiet rural town in the post-liberalization period. It is more than just a sweet montage of 90s allusions; it is effortlessly serious and has a longing vibe.

The vibrant, grounded arrangement immediately connects. The patriarch is a cranky but charming mathematics teacher, his homemaker wife runs the family, and their three kids—two boys and one girl—on the verge of maturity complete their lives.

Without taking sides, it does a good job of understanding the minds of its five main characters, who span generations. Both the personal disputes and the classroom humour are very hilarious.

Even in its refinements, filmmaker Aditya Hasan doesn’t let nostalgia prevail. He doesn’t break traditions, but the narrative isn’t only about the household leader. A girl’s displeasure that the boys get to eat the best food first shows how the family doesn’t romanticise homemakers’ struggles.

Although the delicate handling of the poignant moments leaves little room for criticism, the filmmaker seems intent on packing an excessive amount of content into a single presentation. The visual analogies, costumes, and musical accompaniment all contribute to the storyline.

The 90s saw the arrival of a trivial, slice-of-life family drama to the Telugu digital arena. In his role as a middle-aged teacher who struggles to make ends meet, Sivaji is hilarious. He seems to be a well-intentioned traditional disciplinarian. As a mother who feels trapped by her daily responsibilities, Vasuki is in full roaring form.

As Divya, the loving sister to her siblings, Vasanthika is delightful. Snehal Kamat further establishes her dominance as Suchita, while Roshan also gives a superb performance.

Overall, the 90s are a great example of how to look at the wonderful times with fresh eyes, while still pointing out its flaws and keeping its positive energy.
