Anjaan: Special Crimes Unit

Never thought a TV series like this will be made in India. Seems like a copy of Supernatural. Loved it.

Anjaan : Special Crimes Unit is a very good attempt at a paranormal show on Indian TV. Does not involve any stereotypical nonsense. A must Watch if you love mystery. The concept, script, direction and camera work are exceptional! The casting for ASP Aditi and ACP Vikrant is perfect!

All you CID lovers, don't cry if it's over. Anjaan has come at the right time to fill the void. All those paranormal shows lover or horror fans who also enjoy crime and thrill, this is a well packed entertainment which will not make you leave your seat.

P.S: Those who think shows like this are lame, move on no ones asking you to watch. Sometimes watching with an empty brain is useful.

The reason I gave it a 8, even though it is cliche at times and relies a lot on established horror tropes, is because of how unique the cases are. There is something about the way they tell the stories that is very uniquely Indian, while still being reminiscent of other paranormal shows like X-files and Supernatural. I liked the individual cases a lot, even though I didn't care for the grand subplot (the Yellow eyed demon storyline). It was like a trip down memory lane for me, since I have such fond memories of watching paranormal shows in my teen years. I would recommend this series if you are interested in Indian folklore, and don't mind a slightly outdated approach to paranormal storytelling. I personally prefer it.

For most episodes, keep the nightlight on! (Though daylight doesn't mean anyone would be saved with this creepy drama!) Mostly chills, some cheese & rushed make-up, but an all around exciting and well-produced show & a frightening soundtrack. I was reminded of shows like X-Files and Friday the 13th: The Series. The leads were magnificent. Perfect chemistry & team. I hope there's a 2nd season.
