Chamak: The Conclusion is all about the conclusion, for the real story begins as the show comes to an end. However, it might just be the 'conclusion' for this Chamak that keeps fading away

Chamak: The Conclusion Story:
Kaala is out to take revenge for his parents’ sudden death by firing. Although he believes he has found the killer, has he really?
Chamak: The Conclusion Review:
Chamak the name itself suggests glamour and as we know, there's a lot of hidden secrets and dark truths when it comes to glamour. Although Chamak does not intend to generalize the notion, it somehow manages to do exactly that. The story had always set out to expose the dark truth behind the open killing of renowed Punjabi singer Tara Singh (played by Gippy Grewal), but it turned out to be an expected storyline and truth. Chamak set off with Tara's son Kaala (played by Paramvir Cheema) trying to find out who killed his parents when they were the happiest singing on stage, and surprise surprise, it was a near-and-dear one. Whether Kaala found the real killer he wanted to, though, is what the show exposes. With it, this one also goes on to show how villains are forced to be born owing to the greed and jealousy of one person in power who is rotten from lurking in the shadows.
If you thought Kaala Singh's story has come to an end, it was just beginning. Paramvir Cheema the singer was nothing in front of the drug-abused. And even that is just the tip of the iceberg. The only problem is, even if Cheema has his moments, one of them exuding power, it’s not enough to attract you to the story.
Manoj Pahwa's Pratap Deol in power is still the same. He, however, has a hold because of the actor that Pahwa is. Suvinder Pal's Jugal is also the very same – you never know when he will turn more fearful than he already is, and that happens but at the very end. Hobby Dhaliwal's Baldev also tries to leave an impact, but Rakesh Bedi's Teja Grewal overpowers him too. Baldev tends to play an important role much later in the story, when Grewal is out of the frame. That was his chance to shine, but it still does little for his character development.
Isha Talwar's Jazz and Kaala still share a complicated relationship, and there's beauty in that too. Akasa Singh's Lata, meanwhile, is reduced to an object who Kaala ignores. The makers have reduced the romance angle to beauty that comes with a lot of pain and baggage. Jazz, in particular, continues being tormented all the time.
Mohit Malik's Guru Deol is introduced as the lost overthinker once again. His character graph, nonetheless, is one of the best, mainly because of a look transformation you didn't see coming.
The main topic - who is Tara Singh's killer - was expected to be shocking, but it barely is. There were always hints of this person having a dark side, and if you followed, you would know who the killer is right from the entry frame. The build-up to the story that Chamak: The Conclusion is, does not work as much either.
The story of Chamak: The Conclusion ends with a hint of new beginnings. This starts with the next generation taking over. But it is an open ending with no specific hint of whether the show will return or not. However, given that the makers have called it ‘The Conclusion,’ there’s almost no hope of return. We got a glimpse of the past, and the present. And with it, Chamak: The Conclusion comes to an end.
Chamak: The Conclusion Verdict:
Chamak: The Conclusion can be a drag for the most bit. The story keeps going around in circles and almost never leaves you shocked. Nonetheless, the revenge is the most satisfying aspect of the series, mainly because it offers a few moments that could be deemed as what could redeem the series. So, does this one deserve your time? Maybe if you have reached a stage where you don't care too much about anything in life.
