It’s exactly at this point you start noticing the length of episodes which till now streamed like a breeze. ‘Tooth Pari’ loses steam around the fifth episode when this fantasy tale descends into a regular love story, worst a love triangle. Similarly, the VFX, especially towards the end, are amateurish. The way the dimly-lit "Niche", a microcosm in itself, has been portrayed is reminiscent of a goon’s den shown in Hindi films of 60s and 70s, kitsch and garish. All this unfolds against the backdrop of beautiful contemporary Kolkata, "Upar". Some scenes are genuinely ingenious and intriguingly funny. However, watch the scenes when the vampires discuss how the blood of humans tastes… as if two humans are discussing how a delicacy tastes. Once it establishes the characters and premises, the issue is, it goes on hammering the same to the extent of becoming boring. The writing is sharp for the most part before it tapers into mediocrity. ‘Tooth Pari’ is full of blood and gore, people living for centuries together and looking as if they are in their 20s. So, fun ensues when the worlds of this bloodthirsty vampire and a human scared of blood collide and the duo falls in love. This takes her to Doc Roy, (Shantanu Maheshwari), a decent 26-year-old virgin dentist who suffers from vasovagal syncope which makes him faint at the sight of blood. On one such nocturnal escapade of her’s to suck fresh blood from humans, she bites a man with a prosthetic neck and loses her sharpie, the sharp tooth used to extract blood. Rumi is a rebel by nature and doesn’t like to cut, sip blood from the pouches arranged from a blood bank. The only human who knows of their existence is Luna Luka (Revathy), a witch who runs a coven, a secret society with a hilariously sounding name, Cutmundu which is full of members who are long in the tooth. Her best mates are David (Saswata Chatterjee, outstanding as usual) and Meera (Tillotama Shome, classic as ever) and Sreela (Anidita Bose). Rumi is a member of "Niche" which is fiercely guarded by AD (Adil Hussain), and led by Ora (Anish Raikar). She loves to straddle between two worlds as different as chalk and cheese – "Upar" (outside world) and "Niche" (underground world). Right at the outset, we meet our heroine, Rumi brilliantly played by Tanya Maniktala.
