Murder in Mahim

I was thoroughly impressed by "Murder in Mahim." This series masterfully adapts Jerry Pinto's novel, delivering a compelling and suspenseful narrative. Ashutosh Rana and Vijay Raaz are outstanding, their performances adding depth and nuance to the story. The show's focus on social issues such as caste and gender discrimination is both thought-provoking and timely. The depiction of Mumbai's Mahim neighborhood is vivid and atmospheric, enhancing the overall impact of the series. Each episode is well-crafted, maintaining a high level of suspense and intrigue. This series is a standout in the crime thriller genre and a must-watch for its brilliant execution and powerful themes.

Anwar Says: Aren't you fade up with the similar stuff of same genre on OTT. Homosexuality, Article 377 and story of LGBTQ community have already flooded and this is a fresh entry. Based on the novel of Jerry Pinto's by the same name and it is a very slow burner. Since the director Rajesh Acharya has to shoot eight episodes, many side stories are simultaneously running. If you are doing binge watch , it would be a laborious watch.

On acting front, both Vijay Raaz and Ashutosh Rana are very much in their character. Acharya Ji tried to put some comic angels at some points, which were unnecessary . The sensitive issue of male sex workers has been raised but the narratives hardly humanise the cause and fails to generate empathy for them. Even the primary theme fades away in the parental conflict, shady twists and explaining other sides of queer community.

Not a very interesting watch on Jiocinema . But , the other releases like Yodha and Undekhi-3 are not worth spending relax time. So if you are not a IPL Fan , can give it a try for the actors.

The series is aptly written, with each episode building on the last until the surprising and rewarding conclusion. The conversation is intelligent, gripping and dramatic, making the characters more interesting and improving the series as a whole."Murder in Mahim" talks about the gender equality crime against LGBTQ, raising questions over parents and Indian Mentality towards them. It raises the bar for crime dramas and has a profound effect on its audience. Excellent acting, fantastic writing make this series binge-worthy. Highly recommend to everyone must watch this webseries and Enjoy the acting of Vijay Raaj, Ashutosh Rana ( He is just brilliant ).

The book was not the best work of Jerry Pinto and the series is a reflection of that. It has great actors like Vijay Raaz and Ashutosh Rana, but there is a limit to how much they can sweat the basic story. Shivaji Satam is completely wasted (a far cry from the powerful CID kind of roles you have seen him in)

While the focus is on Mahim, there isn't much of Mahim in the series. And the script meanders before coming towards the end to tie up the loose ends. LGBTQ is a central part of the theme, but that part is slightly overcooked.

If you find something better to watch, this is a good 8 hours you can save.

"Murder in Mahim" is an immersive experience that transports viewers into the heart of Mumbai's Mahim neighborhood. The series is a masterful adaptation of Jerry Pinto's novel, with Ashutosh Rana and Vijay Raaz delivering powerful performances that capture the complexity of their characters. The show doesn't shy away from addressing difficult social issues like caste and gender, which are woven seamlessly into the plot. The cinematography is gritty and realistic, enhancing the suspenseful atmosphere. Each episode is a rollercoaster of emotions and revelations, making it a truly compelling watch. This series is a must-see for fans of crime dramas with depth and substance.
