Kohrra on Netflix - Page 3

Honestly dint care about Barun during his ITV stint..because I used to be a rival Tv Jodi Shiv Anandi fan when IPK and BV used to air together 😆 but he was tooo good in Asur and frankly unexpectedly fantastic as Garundi! Idk why but I crack up everytime he comes on screen in Kohrra…like you don’t expect him to beat up people but he just does it and it takes me by surprise 😆 idk it’s a great performance ..because it’s an unexpectedly different character?

I still don't care about him but I did used to watch his ITV show. And now I am too used to seeing him as the serious, angry but sophisticated man.. accepting him as a Punjabi police constable is tough. I now also see why ITV actors often get typecasted, works against them actually 🙃

Kohrra was a mixed bag for me. I had a lot of expectations with the rave reviews. But while it is a good show, it sometimes misses the mark for me. I also kept comparing it to the last dark mystery that gripped me - School of Lies.

Both shows use bait-and-switch narratives. School of Lies opens about a missing child but transforms into a tale about bullying and abuse at hostels. Kohrra opens with a murder but transforms into a tale about toxic and abusive men, particularly bad fathers.

Even though you don't know Shakti Salgaonkar, caring for a missing child is easy. The show also gives us enough backstory about Shakti and never loses sight of the mystery. But it is harder to care for Paul a random adult we barely know. We get glimpses of Paul's traumatic childhood that make us care. But then the show often abandons the mystery for characters struggling with their own demons.

In School of Lies, I felt a lot of sympathy for TK and Vikram and their toxic traits. The men in Kohrra are far less sympathetic. I think it is intentional. The show wants to drive how fathers, with their rigid expectations, can break children and push them to the bring. And the actors do a fantastic job. But it is bleak and mentally taxing.

The show's many meandering subplots are a mixed bag as well. I could see why Balbir's relationship with his daughter provided a parallel to the investigation. Throughout the narrative, we see how the relationship between Steve and his son Paul mirrors Balbir with his daughter.

But I did find Garundi's affair with his sister-in-law baffling. His brother knew about it? What parallel did that have to the plot? Similarly, what was the point of Balbir's relationship with Indira?

The twist at the end did not surprise me at all. I knew it was coming since the first flashback scenes. I guess I have a good eye for certain subtexts.

Overall, its Kohrra is a good show and worth watching. But I don't think it fully meets some of the rave reviews.

I think after SOL , I enjoyed this Indian series the most. These 2 and Jubilee were my favourite this year so far.

Even I had my issues with Kohraa. Read Ghazal Dhaliwal's post about it on the gram if possible.

Exactly what she said. Even she praised it.

Yes. I read her post. I didn't notice it at first. But what she says is true. Even SOL did that. But I didn't get what she said about the truck driver at all.

Binge watched the whole show (6 episodes). Crisp, gritty and nicely edited with great storyline & direction, supported by brilliant ensemble cast.

Wish Netflix had promoted this show properly.

Clean Slate production company is releasing good content. Anushka Sharma should have been part of it instead of removing her self for what ever reason she did.

Watching it , 2 episodes done, so far so good ! Well done 👍
