Crime Investigation + Thrill
akratisharma-2434214 June 2018
Best show ever I watched on TV. This show is just amazing with both investigation and horror. Obviously, people like me love to watch suspense and thrill. But, only 65 episodes is not enough for us we want more cases from the two super cop #Gashmeer and # Heena. Both have done very good job in the show. Please get back the show on other channel. <3

Good to watch

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.

It was a fun ride.
snhaider-7906730 December 2018
The reason I gave it a 8, even though it is cliche at times and relies a lot on established horror tropes, is because of how unique the cases are. There is something about the way they tell the stories that is very uniquely Indian, while still being reminiscent of other paranormal shows like X-files and Supernatural. I liked the individual cases a lot, even though I didn't care for the grand subplot (the Yellow eyed demon storyline). It was like a trip down memory lane for me, since I have such fond memories of watching paranormal shows in my teen years. I would recommend this series if you are interested in Indian folklore, and don't mind a slightly outdated approach to paranormal storytelling. I personally prefer it.

A very decent paranormal show on Indian Television
nsiya9 June 2018
Anjaan : Special Crimes Unit is a very good attempt at a paranormal show on Indian TV. Does not involve any stereotypical nonsense. A must Watch if you love mystery. The concept, script, direction and camera work are exceptional! The casting for ASP Aditi and ACP Vikrant is perfect!

TV series have crime, horror and twist
hemantm69028 December 2018
Anjaan 2018 way better than the earlier season which have a good storyline, one main villain and twist and turns. How two police officers trying to solve this supernatural activity and crimes. Anjaan don't allow the viewers to loose their interest.

Get over from CID
masoom111126 December 2018
All you CID lovers, don't cry if it's over. Anjaan has come at the right time to fill the void. All those paranormal shows lover or horror fans who also enjoy crime and thrill, this is a well packed entertainment which will not make you leave your seat.

P.S: Those who think shows like this are lame, move on no ones asking you to watch. Sometimes watching with an empty brain is useful.

Very Spooky
mrs-bogg5 January 2019
For most episodes, keep the nightlight on! (Though daylight doesn't mean anyone would be saved with this creepy drama!) Mostly chills, some cheese & rushed make-up, but an all around exciting and well-produced show & a frightening soundtrack. I was reminded of shows like X-Files and Friday the 13th: The Series. The leads were magnificent. Perfect chemistry & team. I hope there's a 2nd season.

Promising start then stalls.
vmalast20 October 2018
Started out interesting, not Bollywood thank goodness. I had hopes. The stories had great potential and,The acting for the most part was good until I got to episode 4, then it started to get cheesy. Over acted, cliché camera angles and jump scares that don't work if you see the person in the shadows before they "jump" on the screen. Reminded me of the old "Night Stalker" series. I suggest you watch that instead. Good effort but ultimately fails. It's fine if you want a background distraction.

Only the attempt is decent
abhishek-gupta-cse24 December 2018
Acting is lame and writing of the basic dialogs are nonsense. Good to watch if you have easy skip forward and backward button.

A must watch
srajskool26 December 2018
Never thought a TV series like this will be made in India. Seems like a copy of Supernatural. Loved it.

Worth a Watch, Combination of Crime thriller with a bit of horror
suvins-892404 June 2020
Initially, when i started watching i felt its just a normal horror series, but the way it progressed, I started liking the episodes one after the other, though it's not perfect, but it's a great the effort in Indian Series. Just completed around 7 episodes, excited to watch the remaining episodes on Netflix. I would have preferred Shivani over Aditi to pair with Vikrant.

Very good Job by Anjaan Team.

Much better than expected!
adityapatney8817 June 2019
Not a lot of good horror gets made as a Hindi series. So, I didn't expect much from this either. Went in with an above 7 IMDb rating and an interesting synopsis. But this series definitely surprised me positively. Sure it has its share of cliched parts and jump scares, but the story telling is amazing teamed up with decent performances. Stories one after the other are good. In short if you like crime plus horror and supernatural genres, this is a must watch! I hope they make an equally good season 2!

Beautifully Engaging Characters.
swagatamghosh16 May 2019
Watch this, if not for the storyline or the episodes or the horror, but most definitely for the two lead characters, Vikrant and Aditi. The chemistry between them is so natural, so comfortable and you will really find yourself rooting for these 2. Fantastic performance by Gashmeer Mahajani, a hidden gem of an actor, and Heena Parmar, who after a shaky first few episodes really comes into the groove. We need another season of this.

Derivative? Maybe... Wonderful? For sure...
julieg-0441614 May 2019
I started to watch this on Netflix because I was bored and the first 4 episodes were a bit of a slog. Stick with it though I did get to really love the characters also it's amazingly addictive and the music alone hits new highs in creepy.
