Khoj: Parchaiyo Ke Uss Paar

Anwar Says: Do you remember 1989 Rishi Kapoor starrer KHOJ , almost similar theme with expected end. The lead Sharib Hashmi is tense throughout but Anupriya Goenka is cool all over. Even if the 7 episodes are 24/25 minutes long but still they are laborious to finish.

Initial two episodes sparked with something fresh but nothing new is conveyed till sixth episode. There were plenty of scope to bring new plots but director Baruah kept repeating with the top three characters. I liked the character of Inspector played by Aamir Dalvi , a real composed police wallah, always eager to listen to others.

Could be more gripping and where the director lacked. Two top actors of OTT could've been better exploited. Choice is yours whether to watch it or not after reading my review.

Recently seen web series... storyline is similar to classic old movie even name is same....old version is very grippy and cult...new version has failed to deliver thriller...even few changes made according to technology but it has lost its soul... starting episodes are fine but climax is very poor...you don't feel any curiosity or tense situation... direction is also sloppy not provide enough twist to drag you till the end.. storyline has enough potential to hold you but executions are disappointing.. watch only if you not seen old movie...or for timepass only.. actors are decent and loction are soothing..that's only postive...it's failed attempt for thriller.

The last episode kills the whole fun of the series. The series is full copy of an old movie Khoj. Dont waste time if you have seen the old movie. The acting is okay. Screenplay is slow. Overall not a must watch series.

Still if you watch this you can watch it in 1.5x on your mobile. The series is very illogical. Noy good to watch. Why did they made this series The last episode kills the whole fun of the series.

Story was going goog, but at the end, that same climax we have seen already in many stories. We expect something different in today's OTT era. Every character involved in the conspiracy is much more predictable and more complex stories with complex climax are available and seen by the audience. However, the story keeps binding us until the last episode in the hope that something unpredictable would come out to watch. Series successfully entertains us and actors have done a good work. Series leaves some things unclarified like how they convince some characters to take part in the conspiracy, especially the child.

The new web series attempts to reimagine a gripping narrative first presented in the 1957 classic Chase a Crooked Shadow and later adapted into the 1989 Hindi film Khoj, starring Rishi Kapoor and Naseeruddin Shah. Unfortunately, the series falls flat, failing to capture the intrigue and brilliance of its predecessors.

While the core mystery remains intact, the web series drags through poorly written dialogues and lackluster direction. Where the original Khoj kept audiences on the edge of their seats, this remake suffers from inconsistent pacing and an over-reliance on clichés.

In trying to recreate a story already told twice with finesse, the new Khoj web series only serves as a reminder of what made the originals great. If you're looking for gripping suspense, you'd be better off revisiting the 1989 Khoj or the 1957 Chase a Crooked Shadow. This remake, sadly, is a waste of time.
