Kohrra

Kohrra blew my breath away. Still thinking of the actors and the story and the setting and everything in the middle. Suvinder Vicky and Barun Sobti have delivered performances of their lifetime in Kohrra.

The sheer mental agony that a cop goes through in solving a complex murder case while dealing with his own personal demons has been shown in a raw and emotionally charged manner - you can't help but want to feel protective about him and root for him till the end.

The portrayal of Punjab's dark underbelly is eerily real - the twists, the messed up romance, the dark humour keep you gripped till the very end.

This is probably the third Indian series I have watched. All the ones I have watched have been of high quality. This series continued that strong streak. The series was multi-leveled and in a good way raw. The characters were believable and the actors were good. The series was somewhat emotionally cruel, but was ultimately warm at its core. I also appreciated the fact that there were only six episodes. This was quite enough to create depth, atmosphere, flow and still be slow burnish. I don't know, but this little bit reminded me of True Detective and I cannot quite point on why. It is also interesting to follow the cultural differences.

Don't go on the negative reviews. The show starts off very mysterious & takes quite long to build up background character.

Plot lines are slowly slipped in which makes it even more nail biting.

The twists are quite good. You'd anticipate 1 thing, but something else only comes up.

The acting & background drama is also worth it. Throws a lot of light on the functionality of characters.

Cinematography & directing is also very dramatic. Creates a lot of suspence.

Episode intos throw a bit of light on background of the main character, highlighting his own characteristics.

Very well written. Acting is also amazing. Worth a watch!

An otherwise good production spoilt by the over violent police.

The police would always hit a suspect during questioning in every scene, violating a suspects human rights.

It put me off finishing this production.

Is police brutality normal in India?

Why is the show getting such high ratings despite the police brutality?

I don't understand why the producers would glorify this in this mini series.

Why is Netflix casting such a show that normalizes such violation of human rights?

Any how the story line was good, acting was good but the violence from the law enforcement has put me off from finishing the series.

Generally am pretty lazy to write feedbacks/ reviews but when I saw folks rating this series as low as 1 felt its unfair for the viewers who deserves to watch this intriguing and touching human drama of realistic emotions and suspense. Pls note you will not be able to predict the outcome and mystery until last few mins so pls watch it. Agree it slow at times and not fancy and nonsense like Abbas Mastan movies but who cares when you get to see great acting skills and an original writing. Very tight direction great dialogues and camerawork. This work is far better than recent pathetic movies getting aired with big names like Khans and Kapoors. Thank GOD we have OTT contents for viewers like us. Well done Netflix. I could have rated 8/ 9 but coz of its slow running pace will stick to 7.
