Good story. Great locations. Very atmospheric. But also very poor acting by both the leads. Richa Chadda cannot act (i thought she could) Seeing her talk like a DSP was a cringefest. Her chase scene with the barber (drug peddlers) ruined my night. Ronit acting was painful to watch but still he was rhe least worst from the whole crew. One time watch. I wouldn't pay for this series.

My Prime subscription had just ended and I was looking for something interesting to watch on TV, so I began seeing if there were any new Voot shows that were actually good. I saw all the recent ones, and while none of the others seemed really interesting, this one attracted me the most. After seeing the first episode I decided to get a Voot subscription and watched the show. Although initially I had given it a 10 star rating in the beginning, after completing the show I think that was too much. So now I have come back to edit my review and give a better, more detailed review.

Candy is a story set in Rudrakund, where there is a teacher named Jayant (played by Ronit Roy), whose wife is still mourning the death of their daughter and carry a rock to remember her. Meanwhile there has been a murder in the town (which they call a "city" smh), and the only witness, a girl named Kalki, says that Mehul has been killed by Masaan, a demon that looks like a beast with horns and red glowing eyes. The title is based on drugs-filled candies that are distributed to everyone across Rudrakund by Vayu Ranaut aka Mr Rabbit. Vayu is the son of the MLA Money Ranaut and he really hates his father, and basically just wants to move out of there. Due to the lack of cooperation by the police, Jayant decides to go out and catch Masaan on his own.

The story of this show is the selling point. There are so many twists in the story and yet it is so cohesive, at no point the viewer can get bored of this. The acting by Ronit Roy, Richa Chaddha and Gopal Dutt is incredible. Vayu actually reminded me a lot about Angry Prash because of the Mr Rabbit masquerade. The opening theme's animation was also very good, and basically the reason why I was hooked to watching this so much. Seeing all the bad guys either dying or reforming was also very satisfying. And the ending was absolutely unbelievable. I didn't expect the story to unfold like this even until the second last episode.

In spite of being such a good show, however, there are many problems that plague it, and they would have overshadowed the bad stuff if this show wasn't so good. First of all the abuses. Like how one bite of laung or elaichi can ruin an entire biryani, similarly having an abuse in every sentence can ruin the whole scene. Many times my mom used to come in the living room, so I had to turn off the TV because I was scared when the characters might suddenly start abusing. The whole deal of showing Vayu to be Mr Rabbit also looked very rushed. If it had to be revealed in the first episode itself who he is, what was the whole point of even showing him with a mask? It's not like no one knows who he is.

Many people have marked my review unhelpful and I apologise for that. Probably I should have seen the whole show before deciding to write the review. Back then I had said that this is the best Voot Original, even beating Asur. But now it seems it isn't that good. I would definitely like to see what Season 2 will bring (yes, there will be a Season 2), so let's hope they will probably reduce the number of cuss words and focus more on what is important instead of picking up a plot and then throwing it away.

It's one time watch but doesn't deserve the hype created around it. The makers tries to create suspense but someone with a little common sense can deduce who is the killer long before it is revealed. In my opinion it is at max 7/10.

After ASUR voot delivered a masterpiece. It will keep you ongoing till the end.

Asur is back🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Instead of watching nepo kids movie, please have a look at this master piece.

Fantastic, edge of the seat thriller... and if you're into whodunnit's... this is a MUST WATCH!

No point in giving spoilers.. but is certainly a must watch.

Storyline is strong and has multiple plots, loved this series, I've watched all the 8 episodes on the release date which is today itself!

If you have seen Undekhi you know what director is capable of.

But he falls short this time.

Each episode brings in twist.

Great performances, but just a decent story.

Few things are illogical & few over the top. Richa screams as always

PS : 10k ratings & 1k reviews : Voot has definitely PAID a lot of money to get this show as one of top rated :)

Plot is really good and Ronit Roy has done excellent job.

I guessed who Masan was by the 3rd or 4th episode... normally I can never guess correctly. Other than that, lot of illogical parts. The main ones I will not give away to spoil the suspense, but Masterji is never teaching or in class, not sure why the inspector was killed etc.

Sub-standard dialogues screenplay and direction. Why people have rated it 10 i don't understand . It doesn't deserve more than 5 . So cliche and awful direction .... Disappointed with Ronit Roy watched it for him .

Best series I have watched definitely deserves to be watched again.

At the end of every episode I just couldn't wait to play the next episode, I am going to binge watch this whenever I'm free , btw people should really watch such underrated series they are good!

Nice concept of series, love how everything is low-key horror with plot twists.

Nice serious all the people who were behind the camera did an amazing job with all the mind blowing scenes and not to forget the main people the actors they too did an amazing job, loved it!

I liked the concept, Superb direction and story. Visuals at its best. Highly recommended hats off to everyone in this series just awesome.

The early reviews posted are made only by watching 2/3 episodes but Iam reviewing after seeing the whole series

The makers started really well and the first 2/3 episodes were very gripping and with good twists but from the 4th episode to the 8th episode the series became slow and was dragged

Richa and ronit have played really well and the direction was also good..the story is chain of murder mysteries and shot in beautiful hilly regions ..little more thrill and humour was required rather than extra killings

The climax was loose and did not represent the need to conclude the end

Above all a good series.

Storyline is brilliant and mind blowing concept, there should be more series like this.

So many fake review... Giving 10/10 is totally fake. Nothing unique, no suspense, concept is good but average acting by everyone, not like Undekhi...... If you are free you can watch.... Giving 6/10.

A complete non-sense show. Apart from Ronit roy, richa chaddha and the MLA, all the other actors are very average along with lots of over actors.

Really good series, actors are really good with their play.

This series is filled with thrilling scenes, love how the suspense is not exaggerated.

I really love how the series have been executed, and hats off to the people who put in effort for making this amazing masterpiece.

This series better be popping off, cuz it's really worth it!
