Aranyak - Aus dem Wald

The show was BRILLIANTLY shot, extra marks for the good cinematography and sound, well written and edited. Raveena, Parambrata steal the show playing the cops, it was interesting to see Ashutosh Rana still doing it, good for him!

They do enough to build the story up, which is seemingly all over the place, but they do a good job of bringing everything together.

The misdirection was a little too deliberate - if you know, you know; can't reveal. While they do a good job of tying up all lose ends, there are a few that you might not feel content about. The show is nothing mindblowing, but I thought the 8 episodes were worth the time.

Would totally recommend!

Web series review: Aranyak streaming on Netflix #sanjuzzreviews #AranyakOnNetflix #Aranyak

Awesome, fabulous & intriguing are some of the adjectives to describe this engaging crime thriller with supernatural overtones!!

Can't believe that I binge-watched this one in a single day ... 8 episodes straight !!

Political manipulation, personal agendas along with the threat of a murderous supernatural entity terrorizing a quaint hillstation in Himachal Pradesh forms the central plot of this web series.

Two mismatched police officers Raveena Tandon & Pramabratta Chattopadhyay race against time to solve the murder of a young foreigner. However there is more than what meets the eye. She is murdered in the same manner as 9 other women who were raped and hung from trees in the dense forest 19 yrs ago. Locals fear that it is a supernatural entity who is responsible for these murders. Police suspect that it is the work of a serial killer who has returned after a long hiatus of 19 yrs. Who is responsible.. a supernatural entity, a serial killer or something else is what this series is all about.

Parmabhrata, Raveena and Ashutosh Rana are the protagonists who try to decipher the riddle. Other members of the cast too have done a great job.

Lots of twists and turns, great cinematography, slick direction, an ominous background score which compliments the storyline perfectly are the high points of this web series.

Won't reveal much .. if you have liked Asur ( Voot), The Last Hour( Prime Video) , Candy (Voot) , you will definitely enjoy this one.

Highly recommended!!! Go for it .. simply gripping like an unputdownable book that you must finish at one go !!

My rating 4/5 .... Adios !! 🙂

P. S.: season 2 of this web series has already been given a go ahead 👍👍

I binge-watched this thoroughly enjoyable and intriguing tv series. This whodunnit with many twists and turns, engaging story-telling, good character development, stunning scenery and talented cast makes for great viewing. Raveena, Parambrata and Ashutosh were fantastic. This is without doubt the best Indian tv series on Netflix and one of the best tv shows across all Netflix offerings. This is far superior to the general melodramatic Bollywood creations. I sincerely hope that Netflix will renew it for more seasons.

As opposed to widespread expectations, the show commences on a somewhat timid note. At the introductory phases, I was neither convinced about its efficacy nor was I very fond of its rather estranged way of presentation.

Thankfully, as the story unfolds; I gradually and then eventually reached a point where I could say with much certainty that I'm pretty impressed with what they had in their offerings.

Despite having a handful of infrequent missteps, and even a comparatively unstable screenplay; the storyline due to being compelling in nature, was able to get a hold of my attention till the very end. The characters are well defined, and I love how the writers had voluntarily given everybody a different motive to fiddle with.

Each character; be it the protagonists or the supporting ones, had distinctive reasons for which they ultimately fit in the said scenario.

And the whole ensemble's dedication and earnestness to their respective roles are nothing but testimonies to my statement! Parambrata Chatterjee, Raveena Tandon; both showcased their versions of dominant performances here. Their dynamic, the chemistry shared by these two veterans is something worth rooting for.

Speaking of others, there are no complaints from my end whatsoever. Regardless, I do have some issues with its relatively unskillful technical sides. Don't get me wrong, they aren't anything dreadful; it's just that for a Netflix Original, things were rather crammed with mediocrity. Unlike the conventionally higher standards, Netflix tends to follow!

This Web Series Did Very Good Performance. Specially Raveena Tandon & Parambrata Chattopadhyay & Aashutosh Rana & Meghna Malik & Zakir Hussain Did Good Acting.
