Within 24 hours of its release, Kohrra has become one of the most riveting murder mysteries in the Ott space. A Netflix original that takes the audience through rural Punjab, which is ravaged by drug menace, the constant divide between the rich and the poor, corruption, homophobia, and inherent patriarchy. All this forms a headless monster that becomes too difficult to fight. Kohrra touches upon all these topics in a manner that would disconcert the audience.
Many shows in the past few years have forayed into the murder investigative genre because it gives a perspective on how real-life murder investigations are carried out and what factors influence them. Stories in this genre also let the audience understand society in general and how they perceive things around them. Below are some of the web series in the murder investigation genre that could draw parallels to what we’ve seen in Kohrra.

We all must admit that well-made murder investigation stories will always blow your mind. If packaged and delivered properly, it is an ideal way to spend an afternoon understanding the nuances of a case and what goes on behind the scenes. Lately, there have been plenty of tales in this genre from various regions of the country, which helps the audience understand the local police and the native culture in depth. We have had Disney’s Kerala Crime Files and Shaitan, Amazon’s Suzhal: The Vortex, and Netflix’s Delhi Crime take the audience down roads that were seldom chosen by filmmakers in the past. The new Netflix original Kohrra, created by Gunjit Chopra and Diggi Sisodia and co-created by Sudip Sharma of Paatal Lok fame, brings you the story of a murder that shakes up a small town, putting the police under constant pressure ever since to catch the culprit.

Disney+ Hotstar’s venture into a full-fledged web series in the Malayalam language would pave the way for many more shows that would be language-specific if given the opportunity. Kerala Crime Files had the makers jump straight into the investigative police drama entirely focused on catching the culprit. There has been an announcement from the makers of the show regarding the team developing a story for the second season. Here we speculate on what could be the subject of the investigation in the next installment.
The entire show had a feel of Delhi Crime, and when the investigation team Kerala Crime Files finally arrested the culprit, there was a walk-through done by the man to understand why he committed the crime, explaining his motive. As I have noticed in many shows in the past about crimes against women, the motive always ends up being a male showcasing a superiority complex,...
