Bhanwar

The main thing that attracted me to this series was that it falls in the Sci-fi genre, a genre that has long been ignored, neglected and thrown away by the Indian film industry (read Bollywood). So when I heard about it, I had to give it a try! I went ahead and started the first episode, and within the first few minutes itself I was already regretting my decision.

The main reasons why Sci-fi genre fails in India include poor storyline (Ra.One), bad execution (Krrish 3), poor acting (Baar baar dekho) or just failure in all departments (Love story 2050). Coming to the series, it's a mix of spirituality, horror, science fiction and fantasy. The plot is wafer thin and is more of a sub-plot of a major series, rather than being a series itself. The runtime is roughly around 100 mins (including start and end credits), which is feature-length, so a lot more could have happened, but didn't. The story was interesting - a couple accidentally travels to the future and gets to know about their deaths, and now they need to go back to the present to fix it. But the execution wasn't good enough, and in the end what you are left with is this.

This is kind of small series by KaranVeer production, mostly entire screen play is in one luxury flat. Screenplay and making is above average. Storyline is about time travel with few of scary scenes and if's and but's. very unique plot at least worth watching once.

Bhanwar was a complicated 94 minutes web series. It depicts the story of a couple which is KaranVir Bohra (KVB) and Priya Banerjee. Okay seeing this series reminded me that why the hell KVB is producing and directing and blah blah blah. Who takes that Priya the witch? Egh. They got in to a luxury apartment and settles there. KVB hears some noise. But still he purchases it for his beloved wife Priya. Alright they did a steamy scene. After that he calls Simi (Teejay Sidhu)(His wife 🤣). She brings her friend and relative. They've had fun. Suddenly, the man is Priya's boyfriend. They then go off. KVB and Priya sit together and suddenly his eyes are spotted in a small moving pendulum. They both see it and they go into it. That brings them to 6 months ahead. Steamy scene again. Blah blah blah. Their dead body is found. Then connecting the dots they figure out that same pendulum brought them 6 months ahead. They go and that brings them the place they were in. Apparently, Simi and her friend come at the same time. They did know that they eventually have to die. Simi takes a gun. Then pointing gun towards KVB and KVB points gun towards her friend and her friend points gun at her brother and he points gun to Simi. 😂😂😂 Is it a comedy show going on? Simi is killed so is her friend. After that this man points gun at KVB and Priya also points gun at KVB. No end. Neither did they leave us with any twist. I mean what's happening? If possible give me my 94 minutes back. I'd watch a Netflix show.

Just finished watching Bhanwar first season. Can't wait for its next season. Acting is good by all the actors, KVB direction is fine.

👍 Different from the usual Indian drama.

Treat for Priya Banerjee Fans.

But honestly I really loved the theme and that the Indian creators are trying different things.
