Poacher

I am not a big fan of Indian movies or series - and that includes Malayalam - especially not a fan of the song and dance genres which dominate Indian Cinema.

But this series took me by surprise - story based on hard-hitting facts - excellent acting without a hint of overacting - solid character development - all culminating in a very realistic rendition of the wildlife and poaching world and all the while keeping me on the edge of my seat.

Wouldnt be wrong to say its a great Indian thriller genre series.

Also gave me a newfound respect for those who have dedicated their lives to preserving nature and wildlife.

A lots of emotion in series guilt, regret to poacher's daughters of a officer, political pressure ,and greed of the money which turns to cruelty of animals.

A dialogue by Dibyendu Bhattacharya in a series while the arres from airport,which is quite good.

We all do politics in whole life of work, and we forgot agenda of the work.

I think must be watched, after 6 episode series climax started in a slow manner,they completely shown ,how they do,why they do, and why it should be stopped.

Series Is only focus on elephant teeth smuggling,but I think there must be scope for different animals Direction, story,and animal scenes are so much real,vfx is quite good.

Series doesn't leave you be to left till you watched all episodes.

This series is in spirits of Sherni movie by slow pacing of story. Great acting all the casts. The series feels were real as we watch through.

The original audio version makes the series more real and believable with different languages. Dubbed version will really take away the feel and intensity of wildlife crimes.

However, this series will not liked by many Indian watchers as they're not well versed in watching such shows for real issue. Maybe entertaining cut for mass audience will work to attract larger audience.

In one of the main posters, tusks are missing for the elephant. I wonder if it meant to depict that elephant can survive in the forest if they don't have them? Or that was just error by marketing/poster design team?

Such series are much required for the generations to come. Hope more such series are created.

Thanks Richie Mehta for another amazing show with loads of great message and indeed thrilling experience.

Superb direction, cinematography, screen play and versatile performances, the show deserves a big applaud.

The message covering importance of forests and wildlife through good story telling is really appealing. End of it I felt, what can be more brutal than killing such magnificent and vital creatures for just decorating substances. It is true I feel the market which is main source of creating poachers should be destroyed to end this cruel act.

The real forest and creature shoots gave a very realistic touch. Screenplays showing decaying body of the elephants while starting each episode gives us goose bumps. And at the same time adding the beautiful nature scenes ike mist filled green mountains, birds flying, also portraying birds eye view os our concrete jungles through a bird flying on top and lot more.

One of the scenes in the storytelling I loved the most is when of the poaching supporter convict askss forest officer what is their problem if a few elephants are killed, and she/they responds how important elephants are to protect the nature, like their waste giving manure, their walk controlling weeds growth, their gifted memory power was indeed a nice way of conveying the message.

Of course the gripping story does not let you stop till end even if it meant burning sleep hour 😊

Cannot stop from mentioning the performance of the ensemble casts - Dibyendu, Nimisha, Roshan and all the actors including small roles played by negative and positive artists portrayed their characters at its best. Cheers to cast and crew. I thank whole heartedly to the entire team for this wonderful show.

One star is less than full, only point I felt was if there was a little more lighting on the actors screenplay. It was a bit too dark to see their expressions fully.

Richie Mehta's 'Poacher' beautifully depicts the hard-hitting reality of Indian wildlife conservation and its perilous poaching. The ensemble cast boasts Nimisha Sajayan, Roshan Mathew, Dibyendu Bhattacharya, and others who have done a stellar job. The episodes are almost 48 minutes on average, with a gripping screenplay and captivating cinematography. This is not a typical thriller that we're used to seeing but hooks the audience from the very first episode. The VFX shots of wild animals are excellent. You will definitely fall in love with wildlife and the forest after completing the series. This is a must-watch series without an iota of doubt.
