The Raikar Case

#sanjuzzreviews The Raikar case :Web series streaming on Voot Select

This 7 episode whodunit by Aditya Sarpotdar is an excellent binge watch option for fans of this genre.

The series starts off with a young scion of a powerful business clan falling off a cliff & committing suicide. A simple open and shut case right ? No.. wait , this is where the fun begins. Is the truth as simple as it looks or is there something else lurking in the shadows. It depicts the lives of a powerful business family from Goa, the Naik Raikars where every member of the family has a secret to hide and everybody has a shade of grey in them. Each episode has been slickly directed and starts off with the enactment of the suicide/murder of the young scion by each of the suspects. Murky business deals, political ambitions, sexual perversions & illicit affairs are all woven intricately in the storyline which makes it an interesting watch.

The casting has been very well handled with Atul Kulkarni, Neil Bhoopalam, Parul Gulati, Ashwini Bhave, Kunal Karan Kapoor , Lalit Prabhakar & Ajay Purkar playing their parts very well. Atul Kulkarni & Ashwini Bhave have really given standout performances.

Each episode is cleverly written to tempt the viewer to binge on to the next one.

Not as intense as Asur, this one is a great watch for viewers who like mysteries served less dark. Eagerly waiting for Season 2.

Series is a quality series with Proper Proposition of All elements. Director , Actors and Writer not left a single thing. They have done their Job in Excellent manner.

Very tiring , performances of lead actors are okay but overall not a great watch.

I don't understand the havoc made by this web series on voot. I purchased voot select for an year to watch this, seeing its rating On IMDb but then it just disappoints at the end. The story is about family, betrayal and power and seems like the old school. Every episode starts or end with a new suspect but doesn't make any good impression with viewers! Good but not extraordinary to get rating so high!

The biggest disappointment of the web series is the plot! To create a web of suspense and screwed up family relationships, they stretched the script to the extent that it got boring.
