The actors have done a commendable job, Krystle makes her web debut with Fittrat and she looks smart, sexy and glamorous as Tarini Bisht.

Aditya as the charming, suave and good looking Veer is the eye candy for us to view, in certain dramatic scenes he lifts our mood. The very charming Aditya has portrayed the role of an obsessive lover with panache. 
Anushka as Amy too does a fine job and the chemistry between Tarini and Amy make us want a BFF in our life, seeing her calm and composed nature as a friend all of us will connect with her. The rest of the cast keep us gripped on to the storyline.

The pristine locales at which the show has been shot is breathtakingly beautiful to see, the plush lanes, the mountains, and beautiful big row houses is a delight to see. From Delhi’s pubs to Mussoorie’s lanes the show is rich in production. Giving us Bollywood feel Fittrat’s biggest USP is its music which is occasional and well balanced, you will be mesmerized with the lyrics of some songs in the show like Manmuraadien and Panchi Re. The show has a mix bag of songs, one for every mood.

To sum it up, Fittrat is an entertaining yet thought-provoking journey packaged with slick cinematography, the crisp portrayal of characters and the large canvas glamour and apt humour that makes the web-series a gripping and must watch.
