Khoj: Parchaiyo Ke Uss Paar

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.

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.

Story was going goog, but at the end, that same climax we have seen already in many stories. We expect something different in today's OTT era. Every character involved in the conspiracy is much more predictable and more complex stories with complex climax are available and seen by the audience. However, the story keeps binding us until the last episode in the hope that something unpredictable would come out to watch. Series successfully entertains us and actors have done a good work. Series leaves some things unclarified like how they convince some characters to take part in the conspiracy, especially the child.

Total waste of time . Unfortunately this thriller missed all important aspect of a good thriller story telling . From the very beginning it was too slow to build up the proper meaningful tension. The original plot is no doubt good but the remake version is pathetic .There was never a moment where I felt that edge of the seat feeling which a good thriller story usually have .

I would have given minus stars if I had the option too. From the very beginning couldn't capture our attention . If you have to serve us the same old story with a new name the least the director could have done is to make the story more interesting. The director should learn from Malayalam movie director how to direct thriller and have audience glued to screen.
