Dahan: Raakan Ka Rahasya

I won't reveal any part of story which is honestly unfair to the makers who probably did lots of creative work behind this (which I feel people while reviewing also in the name of synopsis reveals). So, the show has a good buildup in the initial Episodes which will definitely keep you hook about the folklore in the city (Rajasthan). However, as we reach to the latter part of the climax the folklore somewhere disappears which is sadly the weakest point of the plot. You will wish that had the creators explored more about the deity they were talking about it would have been more fun. Tisca Chopra did a great job & special mention to Saurabh Shukla (he just nails it anything he does, acting comes naturally to him now). Special mention to the Marwari language used here (which is considerably used- which sort of gives it a very authentic look because most of the times themes/background of shows/language are given up after 2-3 episodes)

A Good Decent watch for one time is probably it.

Let me start with pros. Acting is superb in all front. Everyone acted so well to make the story believable. Perfectly shown the balance between myths and science. We officially now have desi zombies. It gave me a feeling of watching Resident evil with desi vibes. Excellent effort by team of Dahan.

Now the cons; I felt that build up of the story could have been more crisp. It could have been two episodes short and with 30 mints each. In between some scenes felt stretched which eventually leads to boredom. I had to skip to make it to last episode. Last two episodes are the one where you get the actual feel of the show.

Zombie(Rakaan) make up is not up to the mark however the blood and gore shown is remarkable and i have never seen such in any show yet. This has a lot of potential to become a full fledged zombie apocalypse world if they put more production value in it like more crisp story make up and sets.

All and All it is a must watch as the effort put is commendable. I wish few characters wouldn't die as they had so much potential for further sequels if there is any.

It's not a complete waste but nothing sort of worth your time. Sometimes it try to be a horror, sometimes zombie apocalypse, sometimes super natural amd sometimes science fiction.

All an all the writers, directors tried so many things but not a single thing goes perfectly fine. Looks like a khichdi. Length is also could have been cut short to 6-7 episodes.

Confused writing, not so good screenplay, poor editing and mediocre acting.

So many unanswered questions, so many loop holes, so many plot holes.

Nothing new or extraordinary.

Better stay away from it but if you just want to kill time you can watch it.

The series is geared towards evoking a weighty and intense sensation.

Although the concept was innovative and intriguing, the execution turned out to be overly intense, failing to deliver satisfying entertainment at the end of the show.

The show includes a significant amount of bloodshed, disturbing scenes, violence, decapitations, and dark magic.

The performances are average, lacking any exceptional elements. The series suffers from a slow pace, resulting in a lengthy span of 9 episodes.

The climax holds some interest and introduces information that could have been better placed in earlier episodes. This could have led to Tisca, the collector, engaging in a struggle to rescue the village from superstitious practices.

If you're prepared for a deeply immersive experience, this series might be suitable for you. Starting is good as well as ending is nice, but the middle was dragged and slow... Rating 6/10.

Completely Binge worthy.

First Season has Only 9 Episodes .

Completed in one Sitting.

Binged watching.

Good Mixture of Myth and Science.

All actors performance is Very Good.

Have the scope to do Next Seasons.

All episodes are engaging.

Writing is Good but If they added some more points then it could have been great series in Indian Webseries Industry like Asur .

Climax is bit Expected for few .

Series has All elements Suspense, Horror, Thriller .

Avani , Rani , Circle inspector Bhairon , Pramukh ji and some characters are memorable.

Very Good experiment in Indian Webseries Industry.

I totally got intrigued by Trailer itself.
