Inspector Rishi

The title Inspector Rishi could have been better-it might have helped the series reach a wider audience. However, the direction is impressive, the visuals stand out, and the performances are strong across the board. Like most thrillers, you'll find yourself predicting how things will unfold, but that's part of the fun. The suspense keeps you hooked until the very end, making you want to see how each twist plays out. There are few scenes about actors personal life which you may think not necessary. Overall, it's definitely worth watching and a good way to spend your time.

INSPECTOR RISHI begins with a banger scene, and the scene sets the tone perfectly for whatever is coming. But once the proceedings gets going, you slowly beging to realize that you aren't hoing to get that high which the beginning sequence provided. And that's the biggest problem with this series. It begins with such a brilliant sequence that it never quite manages to top it, and keeps chasing that high, which eludes it right up till the end.

The series has a interesting story to tell and it mixes folklore with relevant social issues, but due to its tonal inconsistencies and below average writing, it fails to reach up to its desired potential. This is a mystery thriller series with a touch of horror in between, but due to its dull pace in several portions, the mystery doesn't feel as tantalizing as it should have. The series could have easily done well with 8 episodes instead of 10, but due to several outstretched portions and subplots, it doesn't leave a desired impact. The red herrings are nicely done, and the central mystery is nicely built, but the unraveling part isn't as good, and the end twist isn't that surprising.

Acting is superb all around, and technically the series is fine too barring some poor visual effects and awkward fight sequences. Overall, it's a fine series that doesn't jusify its length and could have done well with some editing and a better writing.

I must say that the show started off really well, especially with the backdrop of an eerie forest and village near it .Even the opening scene was pretty dope. Inspite of few cliches like the troubled past of the lead detective, the subordinate not approving with the senior. We might start guessing the story plot somewhere by the 4th episode, but you'd watch it still for the good narration. However the show drags on unnecessarily and is maybe a couple of episodes too long. Some of the side storylines were too cliched and could have been made better. Overall a decent show that has different yet not unique plotline, great camera, decent acting by the characters, and is definitely watchable.

How is that a show with a good plot, decent acting, good direction makes it such a slow burn. The series has a good but predictable storyline, and is gripping at times. But what is the most annoying is that it is sooo slow. This show has 10 episodes but it could've easily done well in 6. The back stories of the characters are good but integrated poorly. One scene would be absolutely gripping and then randomly cut to a back story which had absolutely no connection. Those random cuts in the scenes are so jarring and takes away from the viewing experience.

The actors have played their parts well. The cinematography is beautiful as well, capturing the hilly montages perfectly. If only they had edited out the silly backstories and made the plot line more tight, it would've been brilliant . The story inherently is quite engaging but takes too long to get to the point. I was forwarding all the backstory portions because they contributed nothing to the plot line.

Overall a decent series which could have done with lesser runtime and edits.

Fabulous cinematography. A gem that I missed almost for a year, aesthetically made. It sounded like a perfect horror almost until the end of the tenth episode and then the tragic past is revealed. Turmoil of emotions, losing a loved one and betrayal in the name of love, superstitious beliefs and a twist in the end! Undoubtedly one of Naveen Chandra's best! I'm a huge fan of Sunaina and she nailed it in this one. I wish she had more screen space. Some scenes like the elephants one, feeding of birds and the meeting spot were just stunning. And last but not the least, incredible bgm! One of the best web series from South on prime. The locations chosen for the series were thoughtful and mind blowing!
