Kanneda

The series is amazing, many are criticizing it for the "Bindy Johal" characterisation, they already stated that its not based on bindy johal, its loosely based on 90s drug scene in Canada, Its an absolute entertainment, you can find some problems in it, but as a normal entertainment consumer, you wont find any problem. Moreover, I feel like Indians from other state might not feel the same thrill because of different culture and environment, the word "Kanneda" also comes from common Punjabi lingo, thats how most punjabi say Canada. Parmish Verma's acting was great according to my opinion, also the side characters played an important role in shaping the emotions. Its an action packed, and a lil bit emotional series. I loved it.

If you're tired of the same old predictable storylines and are craving something raw, relatable, and refreshingly bold, the web series *Kanneda* is here to shake things up!

*Kanneda* isn't just a web series-it's a cultural conversation starter.

*Kanneda* dives deep into the complexities of modern life, tackling themes like ambition, relationships, and societal pressures. It's not your typical sugar-coated drama-it's raw, unfiltered, and unapologetically real.

The series seems to feature a diverse cast of characters, each with their own struggles and triumphs. Whether it's the underdog fighting for their dreams or the anti-hero making questionable choices, *Kanneda* promises to keep you hooked with its layered storytelling.

The creators have clearly put thought into every frame, making it a visual treat that complements its gripping narrative.

Who is the boy? Looks like Uday Chopra from Dhoom. Zero acting skill he has. Overacting to bhar bhar kar.....A big disappointment.

Script is not good.

Supporting actor looks decent.

Dialogues are not good.

Too low in intensity.

No new content.

Girlfriend is too innocent and acted like hell.

Direction could habe been better.

Note - Canada ko Cennada ya Canneda bolne se kuch nahi badlega. Showing something like Indian becoming a gang member is not good. We have many recent incidents happening because of these gang wars. Please don't drag India into this. No one will appreciate by seeing Indian Gang member involvement in drugs or other nuisance.

"Kanneda" is a compelling crime drama set in 1990s Toronto, tracing the tumultuous journey of Nimma, a Punjabi singer portrayed by Parmish Verma. Fleeing the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, Nimma seeks a fresh start in Canada but confronts systemic racism and societal challenges. His pursuit of success entangles him in the perilous world of gang culture. Verma's portrayal of Nimma is both authentic and captivating, capturing the essence of an immigrant's struggle and resilience. The series delves deep into themes of identity, ambition, and the sacrifices made for survival. While the pacing occasionally falters, the emotional depth and powerful performances make "Kanneda" a must-watch.

The premise is good but feels rushed.

We don't feel connected to the lead trio. We should have spent some time with them in the first episode. Could also be because they aren't ad great actors as their more experienced costars, but still there are few to no moments where we see any glimpses into their friendship and their life.

I don't know if this was a limitation from the platform or lack of vision from the creators, but this single problem makes the whole series look very shallow.

Similarly, not much is on the life in Canada. Nothing that makes it feel unique to Canada. This could have been based on any modern city in India.

Udta Punjab + Jannat + Once upon a time in Mumbai + Satya = Kannada.

On the other hand we spend good time with the supporting trio - Bajwa, Sanjay and Sarabh. We go deeper into their life and explore the nuances of their characters with powerful performances.

Overall an OK one time watch that could have been lot better.
