Murder in Mahim

The book was not the best work of Jerry Pinto and the series is a reflection of that. It has great actors like Vijay Raaz and Ashutosh Rana, but there is a limit to how much they can sweat the basic story. Shivaji Satam is completely wasted (a far cry from the powerful CID kind of roles you have seen him in)

While the focus is on Mahim, there isn't much of Mahim in the series. And the script meanders before coming towards the end to tie up the loose ends. LGBTQ is a central part of the theme, but that part is slightly overcooked.

If you find something better to watch, this is a good 8 hours you can save.

While Murder in Mahim boasts a gripping storyline, it's the performances that truly captivate audiences. Shivani Raghuvanshi, Benafsha, and Sonal deliver powerhouse performances, bringing depth and complexity to their characters. Their portrayals add layers to the narrative, making it a compelling watch. Additionally, Ashutosh and Vijay shine in their respective roles, earning praise for their nuanced performances. Their on-screen chemistry is palpable, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the series. Together, they form a formidable ensemble, making Murder in Mahim a must-watch for fans of crime thrillers.

From its gripping storyline to its stellar performances, Murder in Mahim is a true masterpiece of television. Shivani Raghuvanshi, Benafsha, and Sonal deliver performances that are nothing short of mesmerizing, infusing their characters with depth and emotion. Their chemistry on screen is palpable, adding richness and authenticity to the narrative. Meanwhile, Ashutosh Rana and Vijay Raaz deliver tour de force performances that elevate the series to new heights. Ashutosh's commanding presence and Vijay's magnetic energy captivate audiences, making Murder in Mahim a must-watch for fans of quality television.

Anwar Says: Aren't you fade up with the similar stuff of same genre on OTT. Homosexuality, Article 377 and story of LGBTQ community have already flooded and this is a fresh entry. Based on the novel of Jerry Pinto's by the same name and it is a very slow burner. Since the director Rajesh Acharya has to shoot eight episodes, many side stories are simultaneously running. If you are doing binge watch , it would be a laborious watch.

On acting front, both Vijay Raaz and Ashutosh Rana are very much in their character. Acharya Ji tried to put some comic angels at some points, which were unnecessary . The sensitive issue of male sex workers has been raised but the narratives hardly humanise the cause and fails to generate empathy for them. Even the primary theme fades away in the parental conflict, shady twists and explaining other sides of queer community.

Not a very interesting watch on Jiocinema . But , the other releases like Yodha and Undekhi-3 are not worth spending relax time. So if you are not a IPL Fan , can give it a try for the actors.

Just completed binge watching this. Vijay Raaz and Ashutosh Raana have done brilliant job. Also,I couldn't find a single character who has given an average or below par performance. The chemistry between both the lead actors was amazing. The first episode feels a little bit slow but once all the characters are established, it doesn't feel that way and you are already hooked on to it.

The story, the direction and the acting are all top class.

The social issues were handled perfectly. The way it shows both the good and bad side of police department was brilliant. I wish to see a few more seasons of this show.
