"Kanneda" is a compelling TV series that gracefully blends suspense, emotion, and cultural depth into a powerful narrative. From the very first episode, it hooks you with its mysterious storyline and layered characters, and it only grows more intense with each passing installment.
The series follows a thoughtful and well-paced structure, with the mystery unfolding through beautifully shot scenes and intelligent writing. The cinematography is stunning, especially in how it captures both the stillness and tension of pivotal moments. The background score is subtle yet effective, enhancing the emotional weight without overpowering the dialogue.
The lead performance is particularly noteworthy - the protagonist (played with nuance and restraint) is someone you root for, not because they are perfect, but because they are human. The supporting cast also shines, bringing authenticity to the world of Kanneda.
One of the standout features of this series is its ability to address larger themes - identity, loss, and truth - while maintaining a tightly-woven plot. It respects the intelligence of its viewers and never resorts to cheap twists or melodrama.
While a few episodes in the mid-season feel slightly slower, they serve to build the emotional stakes, making the finale all the more satisfying.
Verdict: If you're a fan of atmospheric thrillers with emotional depth and thoughtful storytelling, Kanneda is not to be missed. It's a series that honors tradition while exploring fresh, bold ideas - a rare blend in today's television landscape.

Story about a true punjabi gangster bindy johal..who know 1947 & 1984' kuch saal sabh kuch yaad kra dinde ne. Te banda panjab cho kadd do par bande cho panjab ni niklda...lot of mix masala...he was not kind of it...over al good...worth to watch...parmish verma is on different label...best of luck...bas punjabi maa boli na bhul jai.punjab punjabi maa boli punjabiat zindabad...desiya da daur track on another level...over all gud.... I can't believe that parmish verma done it ....u hav bright future bro keep it up .I am gonna see real video of that man ..he was against trafficking ...that's show.
Who is the boy? Looks like Uday Chopra from Dhoom. Zero acting skill he has. Overacting to bhar bhar kar.....A big disappointment.
Script is not good.
Supporting actor looks decent.
Dialogues are not good.
Too low in intensity.
No new content.
Girlfriend is too innocent and acted like hell.
Direction could habe been better.
Note - Canada ko Cennada ya Canneda bolne se kuch nahi badlega. Showing something like Indian becoming a gang member is not good. We have many recent incidents happening because of these gang wars. Please don't drag India into this. No one will appreciate by seeing Indian Gang member involvement in drugs or other nuisance.

Series has its highs and lows. Technically very well made, storytelling is not up to the mark. Lead actors have done justice to the role though. Watch only if you know Punjabi else you'll not get the essence of the characters. While the story is based on real events but somehow it could become relatable. Lot of characters had the chance to shine but they just managed to act their part. Music is gripping and I wish they could have used more of it so that people could establish a strong connection. The real events had lot more to it and I believe this could have been a chance to make it two part series but they rushed it to complete it in one part only.
The series is amazing, many are criticizing it for the "Bindy Johal" characterisation, they already stated that its not based on bindy johal, its loosely based on 90s drug scene in Canada, Its an absolute entertainment, you can find some problems in it, but as a normal entertainment consumer, you wont find any problem. Moreover, I feel like Indians from other state might not feel the same thrill because of different culture and environment, the word "Kanneda" also comes from common Punjabi lingo, thats how most punjabi say Canada. Parmish Verma's acting was great according to my opinion, also the side characters played an important role in shaping the emotions. Its an action packed, and a lil bit emotional series. I loved it.
