Modi – The journey of an ordinary man: first impression: a mix of facts and fiction leads to the cult of the hero

At the time of political biopics, the much awaited web series based on the life of Prime Minister Narendra Modi began airing on Eros Now. Entitled Modi – The Journey of an Ordinary Man, the series is directed by Umesh Shukla.

After what I saw in the first two episodes, this series focuses on different chapters of PM Modi's life and on his desire to serve the country. from the youngest age. Basically, the cult of the hero starts from the word go and it would have been shocking if it had been otherwise. The show opens on two timelines, one from the early 1960s and the other from the mid-1970s, that of urgency, and in both chronologies, Modi is the one who has strong leadership skills and aims to change the world through his actions.

Writers Mihir Bhuta and Radhika Anand based this series on Kishor Makwana's book Common Man's PM – Narendra Modi. can not apply to fictitious biographies (the warning qualifies it as "hybrid of facts and fiction"), this web series tends to become sometimes boring.

This series being published just before the elections of Lok Sabha, it goes without saying. that it is a propaganda and that the one who believes the opposite lives probably under a rock. But even if this series was considered a simple Web show, it would not be considered entertaining.
