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

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.

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.
Best Paranormal show

A very decent paranormal show on Indian Television

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.

Promising start then stalls.

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.
Very Spooky

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.
A must watch

Much better than expected!

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!
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.

The starting of the series was very much of great story line but then you start seeing next episodes they just get out of the main story line at which the series is made ( the main protagonist and the missing). All the episodes have original story with some very deep and disturbing grudge history of characters in it.Acting is great, story line is great, locations are great and the reality which still exist in some parts of our country like every other has
Best Indian horror and police procedural show
barnwal-usa29 March 2024
What an amazing show it was. Pissed off that season 2 is yet to be released. When will you release season 2? After you built the whole universe in detail. Don't keep your viewers in lurch after its becoming popular on discovery Plus. We demand a season 2 with same set of writers, directors and actors.
The series is amazing. Stories are fresh and realistic. Series is rare in Indian TV history. You don't get to see these quality shows anymore.
Discovery must revive this show. Good horror shows plus investigative shows are a rarely tracked genre in Hindi TV industry. This one was amazingly made engrossing etc.
