Khoj: Parchaiyo Ke Uss Paar

Recently seen web series... storyline is similar to classic old movie even name is same....old version is very grippy and cult...new version has failed to deliver thriller...even few changes made according to technology but it has lost its soul... starting episodes are fine but climax is very poor...you don't feel any curiosity or tense situation... direction is also sloppy not provide enough twist to drag you till the end.. storyline has enough potential to hold you but executions are disappointing.. watch only if you not seen old movie...or for timepass only.. actors are decent and loction are soothing..that's only postive...it's failed attempt for thriller.

This series is again an another remake of a movie which already been remade in different languages. A 1958 movie Chase a crooked shadow then 1963 bengali movie Sesh Anka starrer Uttam Kumar, which was truly an outstanding gripping thriller and from that bengali movie we had 1964 tamil remake Puthiya Paravai and 1989 hindi remake Khoj.

The performances of the series is apt but it failed to provide that thrilling experience and the ending which was very much expected from the beginning. The writing should have been better as in the middle of the series it was like the same thing happening and we are waiting for the curtain call!!

For a one time watch to pass the time or if anyone who had not watched the earlier films can watch as other than that you will not get any new twist or turn in this.

Total waste of time . Unfortunately this thriller missed all important aspect of a good thriller story telling . From the very beginning it was too slow to build up the proper meaningful tension. The original plot is no doubt good but the remake version is pathetic .There was never a moment where I felt that edge of the seat feeling which a good thriller story usually have .

I would have given minus stars if I had the option too. From the very beginning couldn't capture our attention . If you have to serve us the same old story with a new name the least the director could have done is to make the story more interesting. The director should learn from Malayalam movie director how to direct thriller and have audience glued to screen.

The last episode kills the whole fun of the series. The series is full copy of an old movie Khoj. Dont waste time if you have seen the old movie. The acting is okay. Screenplay is slow. Overall not a must watch series.

Still if you watch this you can watch it in 1.5x on your mobile. The series is very illogical. Noy good to watch. Why did they made this series The last episode kills the whole fun of the series.

Anwar Says: Do you remember 1989 Rishi Kapoor starrer KHOJ , almost similar theme with expected end. The lead Sharib Hashmi is tense throughout but Anupriya Goenka is cool all over. Even if the 7 episodes are 24/25 minutes long but still they are laborious to finish.

Initial two episodes sparked with something fresh but nothing new is conveyed till sixth episode. There were plenty of scope to bring new plots but director Baruah kept repeating with the top three characters. I liked the character of Inspector played by Aamir Dalvi , a real composed police wallah, always eager to listen to others.

Could be more gripping and where the director lacked. Two top actors of OTT could've been better exploited. Choice is yours whether to watch it or not after reading my review.
