Story

Her business is costing her a fortune but is all of this worth it? Aarya not only lost her close people in the business her personal relationships were hampered. Amid all the chaos and bloodshed, Aarya finds herself alone and gets shot. Is this the end?

Highlights of Aarya 3

Screenplay: The story takes you forward in Aarya’s life and business. One by one the story unfolds and that’s when it immerses viewers in a world ruled by suspicion, money, and danger. As you reach the last episode, you understand that things are not over yet and it leaves the viewers on a high note.

Direction: It is an intence-paced show and Ram Madhvani knows how to engage his audience. His direction and storytelling are so crisp that you are glued to the screens. He makes you forget about the slow pace as his narration slowly but steadily grows on you.

Sushmita’s Character: From being a mother to becoming a fiery drug dealer, Sushmita’s character graph is phenomenal and organic. It is well written rather than making Aarya superficial. She is no ‘mother India’ and has several flaws. But that’s what makes her character so relatable and natural.

Drawbacks of the show

The romantic angle: The romantic story of Aarya’s kids is too dramatic and even unnecessary for some reason. It was very vaguely written and it seemed more like a filler that you want to skip.

Background score: The poetry and the Sanskrit chants playing in the background do not add weight to the scene nor do they add depth to the storytelling. It is been overplayed in almost every scene and it’s a bit too much.

Star performances

Sushmita Sen as Aarya is bold and feisty. She is that fierce mother who will go to any extent just to protect her children even if it means taking the wrong route. And she plays it with great conviction. Be it her body language or her voice modulation, Sushmita’s presence demands attention. No one can be the female underworld don, essaying her role with much conviction and aplomb! 

Ila Arun as Nalini Sahiba is powerful. The command in her voice speaks royalty and she plays her part exceptionally well. On the other hand, Vikas Kumar as ACP Khan delivers a fair job. Sikandar Kher as Daulat seemed very calm and composed this time. He does leave an impact with his subdued role.

Conclusion

Concluding the review, Sushmita Sen is outstanding as a businesswoman. Aarya 3 maintains the show’s essence like crime, family, and empowerment. It maintains the level of intensity, crime and thriller. With each passing episode, viewers can expect more intriguing and surprising twists. Overall, Ram Madhavani has given a riveting and gripping story that once again leaves on a cliffhanger note and a hope to see Aarya in action, once again!
