Dahan: Raakan Ka Rahasya

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.

Completely Binge worthy.

First Season has Only 9 Episodes .

Completed in one Sitting.

Binged watching.

Good Mixture of Myth and Science.

All actors performance is Very Good.

Have the scope to do Next Seasons.

All episodes are engaging.

Writing is Good but If they added some more points then it could have been great series in Indian Webseries Industry like Asur .

Climax is bit Expected for few .

Series has All elements Suspense, Horror, Thriller .

Avani , Rani , Circle inspector Bhairon , Pramukh ji and some characters are memorable.

Very Good experiment in Indian Webseries Industry.

I totally got intrigued by Trailer itself.

Available in Disney Plus Hotstar.

"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!

Let me start with pros. Acting is superb in all front. Everyone acted so well to make the story believable. Perfectly shown the balance between myths and science. We officially now have desi zombies. It gave me a feeling of watching Resident evil with desi vibes. Excellent effort by team of Dahan.

Now the cons; I felt that build up of the story could have been more crisp. It could have been two episodes short and with 30 mints each. In between some scenes felt stretched which eventually leads to boredom. I had to skip to make it to last episode. Last two episodes are the one where you get the actual feel of the show.

Zombie(Rakaan) make up is not up to the mark however the blood and gore shown is remarkable and i have never seen such in any show yet. This has a lot of potential to become a full fledged zombie apocalypse world if they put more production value in it like more crisp story make up and sets.

All and All it is a must watch as the effort put is commendable. I wish few characters wouldn't die as they had so much potential for further sequels if there is any.

I won't reveal any part of story which is honestly unfair to the makers who probably did lots of creative work behind this (which I feel people while reviewing also in the name of synopsis reveals). So, the show has a good buildup in the initial Episodes which will definitely keep you hook about the folklore in the city (Rajasthan). However, as we reach to the latter part of the climax the folklore somewhere disappears which is sadly the weakest point of the plot. You will wish that had the creators explored more about the deity they were talking about it would have been more fun. Tisca Chopra did a great job & special mention to Saurabh Shukla (he just nails it anything he does, acting comes naturally to him now). Special mention to the Marwari language used here (which is considerably used- which sort of gives it a very authentic look because most of the times themes/background of shows/language are given up after 2-3 episodes)

A Good Decent watch for one time is probably it.
