One of its kind conversations at the time of Pre independence era
gaddeajay24 September 2021
Making audience to sit for 2 plus hours with just hard hitting dialogues it not a simple thing.. very much impressed with the work.

Unexpected performances the cast especially Ajay ( never seen him this before).

Director made me Awe struck by showing cast in such a new way... must watch.

Dop and Music are the biggest asset.

Gusty experiment from the production...

A rare intellectual take on the stories of Independence.
rohitkmsrivastav20 September 2021
The treatment of India's Independence struggle has been covered for decades by filmmakers from all parts of India and rightly so. However, majority of the treatment has been monotone, with either a 'hero' or a physical clash at the centre of it.

Unheard is different and refreshing. The portrayal of the unknown and 'Unheard' aspects of the struggle of Independence through the conflicts at a very personal, human level is a treat to watch. The acting is top notch and the screenplay is tight. However, the dialogues are the real winner here.

Highly recommended.

GOOD, BAD & SILLY
best-review21 September 2021
While the story of this film contains valuable information, it unfortunately lacks the ability to captivate and engage the audience, resulting in a rather dull experience. The screenplay leans towards the dramatic side, sacrificing realism in the process. The dialogues fail to possess any regional appeal, with the exception of the last episode. The performances delivered by the cast are largely silly and unreal, resembling those found in a television serial, with the exception of Avasarala Srinivas who stands out. The cinematography and editing are passable, providing an average visual experience. However, the sound and music feel low in quality and fail to leave a lasting impact. While the writer may have succeeded in delivering a worthwhile script, the director falls short in its execution. It may be more worthwhile to read the script than to watch the show itself.

Interesting intellectual debate
pramodkumarkak19 October 2021
Its definitely an intellectual and informative series...its quite interesting to see the different shades of emotions of people in the British era.

Most of the current generation may not understand the feelings of freedom fighters and importance of choosing the path and sticking to it at any cost...this series will surely makes a person think in different dimension.

Review Of 'Unheard' On Disney+ Hotstar: Compelling Experiment, Not-so-compelling Execution
shefali-5924430 September 2021
Warning: Spoilers
It's easier to think of Unheard as a series of recorded stage plays rather than considering it a well-made television series that uses the medium to put its point across. Covering a period that begins in 1918 and ending right after independence, we listen in on deep conversations that take us into the mindset of the Indian youth of that period. The minimalist setup, with nothing but music and lighting to aid actors, takes a little getting used to. The sets feel like sets and the costumes add little to make the experience immersive, but the conversations have a way of drawing us in.
