Inspector Rishi

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!

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.

"Inspector Rishi" is a gripping Tamil series that seamlessly blends the elements of a crime thriller with the eerie atmosphere of a supernatural drama. Set in the remote village of Vanarachi, the series follows Inspector Rishi, a sharp and determined detective who arrives to investigate a series of mysterious deaths, only to find himself entangled in a web of ancient traditions, hidden secrets, and supernatural forces.

The series masterfully captures the essence of rural India, with its stunning visuals and atmospheric soundtrack creating a sense of both beauty and unease. The performances are commendable, with the actor portraying Inspector Rishi delivering a nuanced portrayal of a man grappling with the complexities of his investigation and the clash between modernity and tradition.

The narrative expertly interweaves the procedural elements of a crime investigation with the chilling mysteries of the supernatural, keeping viewers engaged with its twists and turns. The series explores themes of faith, superstition, justice, and the challenges of reconciling ancient beliefs with modern perspectives.

While the series occasionally relies on familiar tropes, it manages to create a unique and captivating atmosphere that keeps viewers hooked. The character development is well-executed, with each episode revealing new layers of complexity and depth to the inhabitants of Vanarachi.

Overall, "Inspector Rishi" is a must-watch for fans of crime thrillers and supernatural dramas. Its compelling characters, intriguing plotlines, and atmospheric storytelling make it a standout series that will leave you wanting more.

It's not perfect but definitely has soul and is a very decent watch.

Cliched yet bold twists keep you on the toes but then some parts feel like you have seen it all way too many times. Same tropes, different story.

Acting is refined and fresh and note worth for all actors involved.

Particularly loved the man vs nature segments but couldn't help but wish that the mythical elements didn't drag as much as made it more interesting, which did not happen after Episode 7.

I would recommend the show even if you are not dazzled as easily.

Good concept but could have been much better.

Enjoy it but don't expect much.

Great story, beautiful jungle setting and mountaintop scenery - spectacular to look at. The story is related to a forest town where some murders happen in very strange circumstances. It's spooky and scary. Some of the scenes can be hard to watch given the background music which makes it even scarier. The director has done a good job here. Although at times the music can be too loud. 75% of the show was engaging but they sort of slow it down almost every 10-15 min with overly long love story and personal drama. It just loses momentum for that reason. This should have been 8 episodes. Would have been lot more engaging. Otherwise the story is unique and blends in super natural with nature and a mystery. If edited better it would have been 9/10 rated.
