Kanneda

"Kanneda" is a compelling crime drama set in 1990s Toronto, tracing the tumultuous journey of Nimma, a Punjabi singer portrayed by Parmish Verma. Fleeing the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, Nimma seeks a fresh start in Canada but confronts systemic racism and societal challenges. His pursuit of success entangles him in the perilous world of gang culture. Verma's portrayal of Nimma is both authentic and captivating, capturing the essence of an immigrant's struggle and resilience. The series delves deep into themes of identity, ambition, and the sacrifices made for survival. While the pacing occasionally falters, the emotional depth and powerful performances make "Kanneda" a must-watch.

Who is the boy? Looks like Uday Chopra from Dhoom. Zero acting skill he has. Overacting to bhar bhar kar.....A big disappointment.

Script is not good.

Supporting actor looks decent.

Dialogues are not good.

Too low in intensity.

No new content.

Girlfriend is too innocent and acted like hell.

Direction could habe been better.

Note - Canada ko Cennada ya Canneda bolne se kuch nahi badlega. Showing something like Indian becoming a gang member is not good. We have many recent incidents happening because of these gang wars. Please don't drag India into this. No one will appreciate by seeing Indian Gang member involvement in drugs or other nuisance.

The premise is good but feels rushed.

We don't feel connected to the lead trio. We should have spent some time with them in the first episode. Could also be because they aren't ad great actors as their more experienced costars, but still there are few to no moments where we see any glimpses into their friendship and their life.

I don't know if this was a limitation from the platform or lack of vision from the creators, but this single problem makes the whole series look very shallow.

Similarly, not much is on the life in Canada. Nothing that makes it feel unique to Canada. This could have been based on any modern city in India.

Udta Punjab + Jannat + Once upon a time in Mumbai + Satya = Kannada.

On the other hand we spend good time with the supporting trio - Bajwa, Sanjay and Sarabh. We go deeper into their life and explore the nuances of their characters with powerful performances.

Overall an OK one time watch that could have been lot better.

Series has its highs and lows. Technically very well made, storytelling is not up to the mark. Lead actors have done justice to the role though. Watch only if you know Punjabi else you'll not get the essence of the characters. While the story is based on real events but somehow it could become relatable. Lot of characters had the chance to shine but they just managed to act their part. Music is gripping and I wish they could have used more of it so that people could establish a strong connection. The real events had lot more to it and I believe this could have been a chance to make it two part series but they rushed it to complete it in one part only.

I don't know why parmish German had such a shallow character all he jad to see was watch news of windy johal. He was a gangster a man who deserved no respect who was an apex predator, a person who killed people just on mood swings you don't see any of that character In the series. The director has failed to create a perfect environment. What looser the director must be who couldn't encash a real life gangster. There is absolutely no tension in the scenes, parish is also amateur actor his boss is really the actor you want . Anyone who doubts my review just search bindy johal news on YouTube and youbwill know the director and actor failed to portray life of a killer.
