Inspector Rishi

A captivating series that holds you tight from start to finish. Season 1 leaves you eagerly anticipating the next installment. The storyline is solid, with direction that keeps you hooked throughout.

Rishi, Satya, Aayannar, and Chitra deliver convincing performances, though Kathy shines as a standout character while Viji adds an amusing touch. The series reached a climax that left audiences on the edge of their seats, keeping them guessing until the very end.

Vanarachi's presence on screen is simply mesmerizing. Each character contributes meaningfully to the plot, leaving no loose ends. The picturesque locations and scenery add another layer of depth to the presentation. Even the Hindi dubbing is commendable, ensuring a seamless viewing experience. In short, it's a series that's definitely worth your time and attention.

Great story, beautiful jungle setting and mountaintop scenery - spectacular to look at. The story is related to a forest town where some murders happen in very strange circumstances. It's spooky and scary. Some of the scenes can be hard to watch given the background music which makes it even scarier. The director has done a good job here. Although at times the music can be too loud. 75% of the show was engaging but they sort of slow it down almost every 10-15 min with overly long love story and personal drama. It just loses momentum for that reason. This should have been 8 episodes. Would have been lot more engaging. Otherwise the story is unique and blends in super natural with nature and a mystery. If edited better it would have been 9/10 rated.

A well attempt decent tamil series 👌🏼 can safely watch with family. I watched this series in a single seating and didn't forward any of the scenes tbh. The entire cast did justice to the screenplay in my personal opinion all of them are equally good on screen. Naveen was good as well. I think the flashback scenes could have trimmed hahaha.. Please bring more series like this since Amazon is known for canceling good series. Just checking if anyone can tell who's the dubbing artist because I'm hearing same voice over for all the female actresses. Felt like one voice used for all the female actresses.

Fabulous cinematography. A gem that I missed almost for a year, aesthetically made. It sounded like a perfect horror almost until the end of the tenth episode and then the tragic past is revealed. Turmoil of emotions, losing a loved one and betrayal in the name of love, superstitious beliefs and a twist in the end! Undoubtedly one of Naveen Chandra's best! I'm a huge fan of Sunaina and she nailed it in this one. I wish she had more screen space. Some scenes like the elephants one, feeding of birds and the meeting spot were just stunning. And last but not the least, incredible bgm! One of the best web series from South on prime. The locations chosen for the series were thoughtful and mind blowing!

Folklore, horror, super natural, thriller, jungle, poaching, LGBTQ, superstitions, friendship , loyalty, hallucinations- so many themes packed for a slow yet eventful show.

A skeptic crime branch Inspector Rishi Nandhan is assigned to investigate a series of bizarre murders in a small mountain village, committed by a deadly forest ghoul called the Vanaratchi.

The investigation builds up most of the drama along with beautiful sub plots and flashbacks.

The only flaw for this gritty and haunting show is the pacing. The initial 3-4 episodes become drag and slow to set up. The transitions, montages and editing drag the pace which would have easily got the show to a gripping drama. Due to this, the depth is lacking and the emotional backstories felt forced.

Yet you would be invested with the show for the horror, the thrilling drama, the murders and the horrifying reality of poaching. The writing shifts gears from becoming murder mystery to a horror folks tale to grotesque poaching reaching to a penultimate climax.

Performance wise Naveen Chandra & Srikrishna Dayal blend a Ram Balram duo. But it is the supporting cast of Kanna Ravi, Malini & Sunaina who get the best moments and they give their heart out. Watch out for their performance in the later part of the show.

Absolute Kudos and spectacular production design, the cinematography, the gripping BGM, the claustrophobic and haunting jungle and the ease with which everything blends together. Special mentions to the creature effects and the VFX - spot on and believable.

The dubbing may sound silly - there is a caricature dubbing of typical South Indian lingo and accent which comes out of the blue for the supporting cast.

If you loved Poachers, which was an even gripping amazing drama then Inspector Rishi will blend the elements of horror with it.
