Recently I saw the web series November Story released on Disney Hot Star. The series has been released in Tamil language as well as in Hindi. Tamannaah Bhatia, Pasupti, Vivek Parsana and GM Kumar were seen in the lead roles.
Talking about the story, the story of this psycho-thriller is quite interesting. There are two stories going on simultaneously which are intertwined in the end. Each of the opening episodes features a flashback story in black and white for five to six minutes.
After this, the second story begins of Anuradha (Tamanna Bhatia) and her father Ganesan (GM Kumar). Anuradha wants to sell her father's old house, who is an Alzheimer's patient as well as a crime novelist.

Only two people think of killing someone else for 24 hours, first a murderer and second a writer. He wants to complete his last story so that Ganesan doesn't forget anything. Due to Ganesan's mental condition, he starts writing on the walls of his room and talks from a chair.
Ganesan does not let his daughter sell the house as he lived with his wife in that house. Because of this Anuradha remains very upset. Suddenly a murder takes place in that house. When Anuradha reaches there, Ganesan is a woman sitting near the dead body.
Police officer Aruldoss investigates this case, who is also a fan of Ganesha. He is not ready to believe that Ganesan has committed the murder as he has no motive. He investigates this case in his own way.
With the entry of Dr. Yeshu (Pasupti), the most important character of the story, many things begin to unravel. He assures the police officer that the murder was done by a man who is not in a sound mental state. Here Anuradha tries her best to save her father.
Why is the series named November Story? Whom does Ganesan talk to in his room? Who is the one who has been murdered? Does Ganesan actually commit murder to complete his story? All these questions are going to haunt you while watching the series but in the end, you will get the answer to all the questions.
The story of the series slows down in the middle. In the first few episodes, the story seems to be completely scattered but in the last two episodes, everyone is shown in a great way. The end of every episode forces you to watch the next episode. This series of seven episodes keep you hooked from beginning to end.
Talking about acting, Tamannaah played the character of a girl who is very upset due to her father's condition. She wants to sell the house for her treatment. When she learns of the murder, she unites her life to save Ganesan.
Tamannaah has played her character well. At the same time, seeing the acting of GM Kumar, it seemed that he is really an Alzheimer's patient. He got into his character. The rest of the cast played their roles well.
The series is directed by South director Indra Subramaniam. Also, the writer of the series is also there. Tamannaah may have been seen in the lead role but all the main actors have got a good space on the screen. The director has cleverly connected the two stories by playing them together.
The music of the series is quite intense which was giving horror feelings along with suspense. Despite the series being slow, the connection remained due to the music.
1. The story is amazing, for which the writer should get a separate rating.
2. The acting of all the characters was good.
3. The music is quite intense.
4. The story slows in the middle but by the end of the series, this resentment will also go away.
