The Great Indian Murder

When the series started it was not so engaging but slowly it started to entertain you with its suspence content. Various character started pouring in and there are of course many nail biting moments...but towards the end of episode 6 and also in the next 3 episodes things were messy...May be season 2 would compensate the loopholes of season 1. Season1 was little disappointing...but yes waiting for season 2.

The overall product is fine, but too slow paced I understand the need for the director to build the characters, but it has hampered the pace and at most times is a tedious watch.

Web series review : The Great Indian murder streaming on Disney+ Hotstar #sanjuzzreviews #TheGreatIndianMurder

Directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia and adapted from Vikas Swarup's novel "Six suspects", The Great Indian Murder is a misadventure of sorts.

A maniacal scion of a politician is murdered at a party hosted by him to celebrate his acquittal in a case case involving the rape and murder of 2 underage girls. The series identifies 6 suspects who might be the perpetrators of the crime.

Pros : Casting is bang on. Pratik Gandhi, Richa Chaddha, Ashutosh Rana,Paoli Dam, Ameya Wagh and Raghubir Yadav ( the best among the lot) have done a fabulous job. Well directed too .. doesn't look like a cheap web series.

Cons: The novel from which it has been adapted has a convoluted plot & too many lengthy sub plots involving the suspects which lead the viewers astray . I had read the novel way back in 2015 and did not find it great either. So, in a nutshell the novel from where the script has been derived from, is a big letdown. Also long episodes of around 50 mins each are tiresome as the series trudges to a lame climax.

Pls go ahead and watch it.... If you do not have any other good options, that is 🙂

2/5 from me for this one .. adios 🙂

I am eagerly not waiting for the 2nd season. Though I have wasted 9 episodes time to see a great murder mystery unfolds. Please don't dare to make another misery.

The series is all about stretched entanglements of the characters with a murder

Tigmanshu has made this fiction in a good technical way from the book six suspects..it's about a murder and the story of suspects entangled with the murder..Pratik has played his role ordinarily Shashank Jatin mani has played their roles very well Richa was looking very bulky for her cop character the limelight of the series is Raghubir he played his character extraordinarily and was hilarious..the series started in strong and steady manner but as episodes travel it gets too slow and stretched in same locations with same characters getting entangled

The damaged part is that the series is of 9 episodes in 40 minutes each and when you come to end you get to know the climax is kept open for the next season which was not at all required the series would had topped if it was concluded in this season itself

My vote will be with rocket boys for this weekend.
