Selection Day Season 1

What BollyAI Thinks

Part 1 of Selection Day arrived on Netflix India in December 2018 as the platform's adaptation of Aravind Adiga's 2016 novel, produced by Anil Kapoor. The six-episode first chapter follows the Kumar brothers - played by Mohammad Samad and Yash Dholye - arriving in Mumbai under their domineering father's cricket-obsession, where the older Manju's dawning identity begins to complicate the plan. Business Standard celebrated it as Netflix India's best series to date. The Quint found 'writing, production values and performances a notch behind recent Indian series.' The 44% Rotten Tomatoes score reflects an honest split: the source material's moral complexity is present in the performances but the adaptation's pacing is cautious. Ratna Pathak Shah and Rajesh Tailang in supporting roles provide the series' most consistent critical praise.
