Kohrra: Brumes hivernales

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.

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.

For the past couple of days, this series has been cropping up everywhere on social media. Critics were showering love on the show and condemning Netflix for not making adequate efforts to promote their newly released content. And this slew of discourses eventually led me to the series.

Now that I have completed all the episodes, I would beg to differ with the pundits; Netflix has had done the right thing not to market it because it does not deserve the attention it's getting. I'm not saying it was terrible; it was decent at best. But also, it was uninspiring and shockingly uneventful from a writing standpoint. Albeit, they have tried to deal with half a dozen subjects.

While I appreciate their heartiest exertions to initiate relevant dialogues on several issues pertinent to our modern-day society and its people, unfortunately, none of those notions materialised to their fullest extent, all thanks to sluggish screenwriting that had elongated the course of events for no apparent justifications.

Thankfully, it didn't mar the investigative procedures, which did have a fitting resolution in the concluding moments. I wish the writing here were tighter and more proficient in conveying the messages they wanted to convey!

The best thing is the honest and accurate portrayal of Punjab, its culture and language. Though people don't use that much foul language, that's typical of any Netflix series based out of India. Still, the characters are local, and the shots are scenes in authentic villages. The story is OK but could have been improved. Other small personal stories of characters are neither related to the ongoing investigation nor are they much captivating-however, outstanding performances from all the cast members. Despite the average story, I would give eight stars for the originality shown. Small actions or scenes make you believe that characters are local and authentic.
