Need more gripping drama like this
19 July 2023
Over few years, Punjab, which was once portrayed with inviting lush green fields in Hindi films, has now become favorite hot spot for drugs, crime and unwanted criminal activities. Udta Punjab, CAT, Tabbar and now Kohraa deeply explore how this menance is impacting the common man with diverse and interesting characters.

Kohraa is centered around 2 cops - Balbir and Garundi, who gets involved in a heinous murder after a body of a NRI person is found in midst of field one foggy morning. When they start investigation, they discover interesting facts with haunting past.

From the makers of Pataal Lok (Sudipta Sen and Gunjit Sharma) and director of an underrated film, Halaahal, Randeep Jha, Kohraa is a procedural-slow-burn-thriller which will make you think like as if you are reading a novel. As you will turn into a new page, you will be surprise with new event in this 6- episodes hard-hitting drama.

Though Kohraa is based on serious topic, it comprises of humour as Barun Sobti steals the show with his cunning and witty dialogues. While the first half is extremely interesting, second half tends to confuse you as the mystery thriller finally reveals the person who is behind everything. The climax has a sad ending but it also exposes the harsh reality. Writing is top notch coupled with soothing background score. Editing could have been better. Dialogues are quirky.

Both Suvinder Vicky and Barun Sobti gives a knockout performance. Suvinder Vicky should be lauded for his brave acting and is complete natural while Barun Sobti is simply mind blowing. Other actors equally contributed to the performance, bringing out their characters alive. You will be surprised to see Rachel Shelley after a long time (last she appeared in Lagaan) and was amazing.

Overall, Kohraa is one such hair-raising web series which is definitely difficult to digest as it gives you goosebumps with an eye-popping experience.
