Dahan: Raakan Ka Rahasya

Sameer lodaya

The series all set to give you heavy headed feeling

The concept was good and unique but the presentation was too heavy which fails to give you good entertainment.

Bloodbath,horrificscenes,killings,beheadings,black magic is been offered in high scale

Performances are just normal and nothing extraordinary is found here..the pace of the series is too slow and hence it ended up in 9 long episodes

Climax was little interesting and gave the fact which could had been introduced earlier episodes and then Tisca the collector should had fought to save the village from superstitious activities

If you are ready for heavy headed feeling then you go with this one.

An intertwined story of faith and science. Although it was engaging throughout the series, but missed to connect certain loopholes. Somehow it reminded me of The Stranger Things because of that zari-booti kind of veins, the mines, and the kids. One thing was on the top and that was the selection of star cast and their performance! I am no one to comment on their performance. Watching Rajesh Tailang, Mukesh Tiwari, and Saurabh Shukla is always delight to the eyes, but Tisca Chopra stole the limelight with her grace, bravery, and beauty. Overall it had thrill+horror kind of texture. It's interesting.

Firstly, good thing about the show is it didnt overdo the zombie stuff, gore scenes were limited and were finely edited. Series was more about a mystholigcal figure and story focuses mostly on its return to village in some form and grows more with the episodes.

Now the complain is the story, series could have been made better if it was only of 6 episode and if it had little less subplots, because after episode 4, more n more subplots came which made the episodes seem little lengthy(around 50 mints each).

Production amd acting was good. Anay looked little younger for his role but his crush was cute and did her part better so did her boyfriend.

Direction amd editing was also good. It is lot better rhan Netflix 'Betaal' and maybe little less intense than 'Ghoul'.

Overall it is a decent one time watch but not something outstanding or extraordinary.

It's not a complete waste but nothing sort of worth your time. Sometimes it try to be a horror, sometimes zombie apocalypse, sometimes super natural amd sometimes science fiction.

All an all the writers, directors tried so many things but not a single thing goes perfectly fine. Looks like a khichdi. Length is also could have been cut short to 6-7 episodes.

Confused writing, not so good screenplay, poor editing and mediocre acting.

So many unanswered questions, so many loop holes, so many plot holes.

Nothing new or extraordinary.

Better stay away from it but if you just want to kill time you can watch it.

"FAITH" "BELIEF" is everything. What a great story that shows how faith changes fate! Rightly said its a battle between rationality and superstition. Saurabh Shukla is amazing always, Tisca Chopra, Rajesh Tailang, Mukesh Tiwari all are such brilliant actors.

Now I'll tell you my experience watching Dahan: After watching half of the series, I couldn't sleep the whole night, but I had to complete the series, next day I watched the other half. God help me! The last time I was this much terrified when I watched the film "IT" ... Horror, Horror, Horror! I don't like Horror, I avoid it but Horror likes me! I can't avoid. Do give it a watch! "Dahan" will keep you engaged. Rakan! Rakan! Ridhiyakan!
