I read some reviews before starting to watch this show and the negative ones did confused me. Ofcourse whether to watch it or not. However, believe me, it crossed my low expectations and was surprisingly good.
There are cons, i will admit, like the same pattern of situations or unwanted search of unknowns or too many situations sometimes leading to confusions.
But, its the pros that made me rate it 8.
Horror was not based on gory or pathethic prosthetic faces but atmosphere and mystery behind forefront story. I actually sometimes got goosebumps which was really unexpected from a indian horror series. Felt the same way when all of a sudden Raaz was released back in 2001 and people were scared. Otherwise the way of showcasing horror is sudden jumpscares and only jumpscares without a proper story line or atleast maintaing one, not from a tv series. Zee horror show had a potential in its time but again, if you watch it now you may even laugh sometimes.
The other point which atleast was ok to me was the parallel story line of a single mystery which demystifies at last. Here it was on a character called Vanraaj. I had seen many tv series before, to name like x files and the mentalist, and all had that one thing in common, a hidden story. And believe me, all failed at the end when the actual mystery was revealed. This atleast had some potential however it in itself being over stretched and not upto mark. Still i vote for it as positive when compared to the named series mysteries.
So, one time watch series and sure, few episodes were scary.
