Khoj: Parchaiyo Ke Uss Paar

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.

Series fit for not very smart people with less intelligence.

Poor story line with very weak character.

The main character of the series is shown as a successful lawyer who does not know anything about law and is jst a stupid man.

The lady playing the character of the wife is played by an amateur actor who does b grade movies and series and should not be allowed to do any acting at all.

The child is shown with an age of 8-10 years who is pranking the father and supporting the police which is not realistic at all as a child of this less age will not be able to act and portray the character in such a way.

This is a pathetic recreation of age old movie with a predicate and boring ending.

Story was going goog, but at the end, that same climax we have seen already in many stories. We expect something different in today's OTT era. Every character involved in the conspiracy is much more predictable and more complex stories with complex climax are available and seen by the audience. However, the story keeps binding us until the last episode in the hope that something unpredictable would come out to watch. Series successfully entertains us and actors have done a good work. Series leaves some things unclarified like how they convince some characters to take part in the conspiracy, especially the child.

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.

"Khoj: Parchaiyon Ke Uss Paar" starts strong with an intriguing premise: Ved (Sharib Hashmi) reports his wife Meera missing, only for a woman (Anupriya Goenka) to show up who claims to be her. While this setup is promising, the plot starts to drag as the episodes progress, with predictable twists and repetitive moments that take away from the suspense. Additionally the makers fail to land the ending resulting in a comedic revelation rather than the dramatic effect they were aiming for. Sharib Hashmi delivers a convincing performance, and Anupriya Goenka is solid too, but even their efforts can't save the show from feeling overstretched especially considering it's a remake of a movie that itself was under two hours.
