Shikarpur

Trust creators from Bengal to churn out the best thrillers. Every single time! Watch Shikarpur for that. Starts of on a pulpy note, but never fails at keeping the viewers engrossed in the proceedings. What works for it is that it never takes itself too seriously, and yet makes it all believable. Credits to the makers for successfully avoiding predictabilities in the plot line. The story is just about rural everymen in North Bengal with a past and a future too. As to the actors, Ankush Hazra is a revelation. Kaushik and a Ganguly is brilliant as usual. Rest of the cast gel well into the plot. Gets edgy in the last episode with the big reveal! Zee5 begins the year with a hit.

I was not expecting this much from a bengali series. I was totally hooked throughout the series . The cast of the webseries also did a good job ankush da , Kaushik Ganguly , debashish , sandipta all were good , some of the scenes in the series are worth watching , this zee5 show is better than many of the hoichoi shows ,must watch webseries.there is also a cameo of Sayan da who is popular for independent webseries work has also done good work , the shot in the series where ankush da imagines the culprit in the mind that shot execution was on point , camera angles in some of shots are really good.

Since the inception and eventual dominance of OTT and its content, particularly in the Bengali regional industry, I have always wished that the mainstream, commercial superstars would embrace the challenge and test their mettle in this relatively unknown waters.

And I am glad that Ankush has at least come forward and taken the risk, because boy! Did he rise to the challenge? The series as a whole may have a few lapses, but it is impossible to deny Ankush's sheer determination and commitment to emerge from his shell and perform on an entirely different wavelength!

In addition to its technical sophistication, what intrigued me was how well the characters were developed. The contributions of each ensemble member further sweetened the deal. Among them, it goes without saying that "Keshto" shines the brightest.

My greatest main gripe is the conclusion. The revelation was surprising, but the motivation didn't seem to carry enough weight on its own; and therefore, I am still having difficulty comprehending it. I mean, really, doesn't it sound a bit shortsighted and a bit childish?

An amateur detective Keshto ( Ankush Hazra) who is trying his luck at becoming a goenda, along with his mentor, ageing detective Kaushik Ganguly try to decipher the reason for a series of killings in the quiet town of Shikarpur.

A well executed comedy suspense thriller, a great cast with lots of twists and turns. The finely maintained balance of comedy & suspence will keep you entertained all throughout. The climax is also well conceived and will leave you satisfied indeed.

Great initiative from Zee5 . Web series with strong content. A welcome change indeed!!

Going with 4/5.

I have never seen such bad actor in a lead role #AnkushHazra. The story was really good but totally destroyed by this lead actor Ankush. Otherwise Sayan, Sandipta was really good on their roll. And the ASI or SI he was also good.

May be next time the film makers would be cautious of choosing the lead role.

My preference would be Rwittik Chakraborty, Abir , Rudranil, Jishu or Parambrata.

Whatever I'm really happy to see this kind of story and the shooting location selection which is really appreciable.

Only bad thing about this web series was the Lead role Ankush he is not at all fitted in the web series.
