Mahabharat Murders

Story, concept and style was copied from Midsomer Murders which is running for over 23 seasons. Repackaged everything in the context of Kolkata with some hints of Mahabharata characters. That British detective was unarmed and here we find contrast when we see, detective is carrying two guns! Silly exaggeration.

I'm sure, they Can't attract a big number of people and those who started watching like me randomly , won't find them watching this silly series anymore after two episodes.

But, from a different perspective, I must say that they need to continue producing this type of thriller more so that they can reach to maturity in writing and making series in these genre.

It was difficult to follow. Narrative and screenplay is very poor. It ruined a great concept. The director did not use a good flow to introduce characters. All actors acted well though.

Very poor editing and cannot understand what is happening due to lack of focus on character.. The story was supposed to be good but I cannot understand what's happening.

Web series review: Mahabharata Murders streaming on Hoichoi #sanjuzzreviews #mahabharathamurders #hoichoi Finally a treat for my Bong friends!! Mahabharata murders is based on a Novel by author Arnab Ray.

Boasting an impressive star cast, the web series is about a modern day Duryodhan who is trying to identify & kill the Pandavas in the contemporary era to avenge the injustice done to him at Kurukshetra.

Will he succeed in accomplishing his twisted plan is what this series is all about.

An interesting plot which moves back and forth on time tracing the roots of the individual characters & also the killer is handled well . However it can get a bit confusing, as there are too many characters involved and identifying them in the flashbacks as well as the current era can get tricky .

Another point for the makers is to release the entire series at one go instead of only 3 episodes per week as they had opted to do . This can caus viewers to lose focus and perhaps leads to waning of interest.

The stellar cast comprising Saswata Mukherjee, Priyanka Sarkar , Arjun Chakrabarty and Kaushik Sen hog most of the limelight in this series. Saswata & Priyanka especially have done full justice to their roles.

All in all a decent watch. Not bad at all !! Go watch it !!

3/5 .. from me for this one... Adios!! 🙂

I haven't yet got the opportunity to read the actual novel nor did I have any preliminary knowledge about the material, hence, I cannot comment on how this show might have transpired from an adaptation standpoint. Although, I must tell you that the presentation here, despite several trials and attempts, failed to create that certain kind of impact I was looking for.

All of its issues were not just present in the script itself, they were also quite persistent and pretty pronounced in the screenplay as well as in its character developments. As a result, not only did the conflicts and the drama fall flat in most cases, the ultimate revelation, the supposed unwinding of the mystery too came off as inconsequential and undesirably convoluted.
