How is that a show with a good plot, decent acting, good direction makes it such a slow burn. The series has a good but predictable storyline, and is gripping at times. But what is the most annoying is that it is sooo slow. This show has 10 episodes but it could've easily done well in 6. The back stories of the characters are good but integrated poorly. One scene would be absolutely gripping and then randomly cut to a back story which had absolutely no connection. Those random cuts in the scenes are so jarring and takes away from the viewing experience.

The actors have played their parts well. The cinematography is beautiful as well, capturing the hilly montages perfectly. If only they had edited out the silly backstories and made the plot line more tight, it would've been brilliant . The story inherently is quite engaging but takes too long to get to the point. I was forwarding all the backstory portions because they contributed nothing to the plot line.

Overall a decent series which could have done with lesser runtime and edits.

A captivating series that holds you tight from start to finish. Season 1 leaves you eagerly anticipating the next installment. The storyline is solid, with direction that keeps you hooked throughout.

Rishi, Satya, Aayannar, and Chitra deliver convincing performances, though Kathy shines as a standout character while Viji adds an amusing touch. The series reached a climax that left audiences on the edge of their seats, keeping them guessing until the very end.

Vanarachi's presence on screen is simply mesmerizing. Each character contributes meaningfully to the plot, leaving no loose ends. The picturesque locations and scenery add another layer of depth to the presentation. Even the Hindi dubbing is commendable, ensuring a seamless viewing experience. In short, it's a series that's definitely worth your time and attention.

Fabulous cinematography. A gem that I missed almost for a year, aesthetically made. It sounded like a perfect horror almost until the end of the tenth episode and then the tragic past is revealed. Turmoil of emotions, losing a loved one and betrayal in the name of love, superstitious beliefs and a twist in the end! Undoubtedly one of Naveen Chandra's best! I'm a huge fan of Sunaina and she nailed it in this one. I wish she had more screen space. Some scenes like the elephants one, feeding of birds and the meeting spot were just stunning. And last but not the least, incredible bgm! One of the best web series from South on prime. The locations chosen for the series were thoughtful and mind blowing!

I must say that the show started off really well, especially with the backdrop of an eerie forest and village near it .Even the opening scene was pretty dope. Inspite of few cliches like the troubled past of the lead detective, the subordinate not approving with the senior. We might start guessing the story plot somewhere by the 4th episode, but you'd watch it still for the good narration. However the show drags on unnecessarily and is maybe a couple of episodes too long. Some of the side storylines were too cliched and could have been made better. Overall a decent show that has different yet not unique plotline, great camera, decent acting by the characters, and is definitely watchable.
