Khoj: Parchaiyo Ke Uss Paar

"Khoj: Parchaiyon Ke Uss Paar" starts strong with an intriguing premise: Ved (Sharib Hashmi) reports his wife Meera missing, only for a woman (Anupriya Goenka) to show up who claims to be her. While this setup is promising, the plot starts to drag as the episodes progress, with predictable twists and repetitive moments that take away from the suspense. Additionally the makers fail to land the ending resulting in a comedic revelation rather than the dramatic effect they were aiming for. Sharib Hashmi delivers a convincing performance, and Anupriya Goenka is solid too, but even their efforts can't save the show from feeling overstretched especially considering it's a remake of a movie that itself was under two hours.

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.

Most Horrible, Illogical Series till date

This series is a complete letdown. The plot is painfully slow and riddled with illogical twists. The most absurd moment? The police plant fake photos on someone's phone without accessing it-a feat only a Russian hacker might pull off in fiction! Additionally, they manipulate an 8-10-year-old child into believing someone else is her mother-completely unbelievable and poorly executed. To make matters worse, the acting from several cast members is lackluster, with wooden performances that fail to evoke any emotion. If you're planning to use your brain while watching, skip this one.

This series is again an another remake of a movie which already been remade in different languages. A 1958 movie Chase a crooked shadow then 1963 bengali movie Sesh Anka starrer Uttam Kumar, which was truly an outstanding gripping thriller and from that bengali movie we had 1964 tamil remake Puthiya Paravai and 1989 hindi remake Khoj.

The performances of the series is apt but it failed to provide that thrilling experience and the ending which was very much expected from the beginning. The writing should have been better as in the middle of the series it was like the same thing happening and we are waiting for the curtain call!!

For a one time watch to pass the time or if anyone who had not watched the earlier films can watch as other than that you will not get any new twist or turn in this.

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.
