Rajkumar & Adarsh Gourav elevate the show
19 August 2023
Without the star cast I doubt I would've persevered beyond 2-3 eps. Rajkumar Rao & Adarsh Gourav are absolutely fantastic in their roles. There is a lot of good stuff and interesting threads. The world building is solid. However,at an emotional level you rarely feel invested in the characters. Other than Jugnu,Tipu & the three kids the show lacks soul that it tries to compensate for with style. Atmaram is another run-of-the-mill 'weirdo' character whose motives and origins remain a mystery but his presence is supposed to drive terror in us. The performances are mostly very,very good(special mention for the kid who plays Gangu) but there is little by way of plot to be stretched to 7,45 min. Eps. A faster narrative would've been a delight.

A decent watch nonetheless.
