Poacher

Richie Mehta's 'Poacher' beautifully depicts the hard-hitting reality of Indian wildlife conservation and its perilous poaching. The ensemble cast boasts Nimisha Sajayan, Roshan Mathew, Dibyendu Bhattacharya, and others who have done a stellar job. The episodes are almost 48 minutes on average, with a gripping screenplay and captivating cinematography. This is not a typical thriller that we're used to seeing but hooks the audience from the very first episode. The VFX shots of wild animals are excellent. You will definitely fall in love with wildlife and the forest after completing the series. This is a must-watch series without an iota of doubt.

This series is in spirits of Sherni movie by slow pacing of story. Great acting by all the casts. The series feels realistic as we watch through.

The original audio version makes the series more real and believable with different languages. Dubbed versions will really take away the feel and intensity of wildlife crimes.

However, this series will not be liked by many Indian watchers as they're not well versed in real conservation issues. Maybe entertaining cut for mass populace will work to attracting larger audience base.

In one of the main posters, tusks are missing for the elephant. I wonder if it meant to depict that elephant can survive in the forest if they don't have them? Or that was just error by marketing/poster design team?

Series like this are much required for current and future generations. Hope more such series are created.

I enjoyed this so much. Started off curious. Ended on the edge of my seat. I wasn't sure about the dubbed version at first glance (english). However the longer I watched the less noticable it was. I finished the series with joy and with tears in my eyes. The cinematography was well done. The story was well said. The characters were likeable and there was memorable humor and emotion. There's something to be said about a film / series that touches your heart so deeply. Almost like I was meant to watch this. By the end of it I said to myself "I want to help animals, that's it, that's what I want for my life" Good job.

After a very long time i sat with my family and watched this series without any hesitation of skipping a single scene which could be inappropriate. Each and every character have played their role beautifully without any doubt. Highly recommend this to everyone irrespective of age. More of such work should be done to capture the essence of life which just goes non captured among the hullabaloo of irrelevant movies.

Now coming to the cast - Nimisha has done an extremely superb job in the movie. She has been the best with her acting at each and every episode. Dibyendu seems to be so natural as always. I have hardly seen any movie/web series where he has not been anywhere close to being the best. I honestly want him to do more and more work so that we can see some good acting which seems to be rare these days.

I am not a big fan of Indian movies or series - and that includes Malayalam - especially not a fan of the song and dance genres which dominate Indian Cinema.

But this series took me by surprise - story based on hard-hitting facts - excellent acting without a hint of overacting - solid character development - all culminating in a very realistic rendition of the wildlife and poaching world and all the while keeping me on the edge of my seat.

Wouldnt be wrong to say its a great Indian thriller genre series.

Also gave me a newfound respect for those who have dedicated their lives to preserving nature and wildlife.
