Shodha

Pawan Kumar is a good director, he should not indulge in such roles. No expressions, Poorest acting, weak plot. Remake of an already poor rated show Khoj. The team cannot even do the dubbing properly, lipsync issues throughout. None of the actors suited their roles except the one who played the inspector.

WASTE OF TIME, AVOID.

Shodha is a mini web series in Kannada having thriller and suspense genre. The storyline is awesome, excellent cast and the performances by the actors is good too. It keeps the audience engaged throughout the series with suspense and visuals, and the emotional layers adds so much depth to the story. We can see a slightly predictable ending, but its one of the most engaging Kannada web series in recent times you can see.

⭐ 9/10 Shodha is a fast-paced Kannada thriller with a gripping storyline and excellent performances, especially from Pawan Kumar and Siri Ravikumar. The suspense and visuals keep you engaged throughout, and the emotional layers add depth. Despite a slightly predictable ending, it stands out as one of the most engaging Kannada web series in recent times.

This is a remake of the 2024 ZEE5 original Khoj, with a few tweaks in the storyline. For those who have not watched the original, this version may appear fresh, but in reality, it struggles to justify its originality.

Where Khoj thrived on Sharib Hashmi's nuanced and natural performance, the remake falters. Pawan Kumar, despite his earnest effort, fails to bring the same emotional depth to his role. His portrayal often feels restrained, leaving pivotal moments without the weight they demand. Siri Ravikumar has done some justice to her character, but doesn't leave any impact either. None of the other supporting cast members rise to the occasion either making the overall casting one of the weakest aspects of the series.

The format also works against it. With each episode running under 20 minutes, the narrative rarely gets the breathing space needed to build emotional resonance. Scenes that could have lingered and left an impact are hurried along, reducing their effectiveness.

Overall, while the remake has its moments, it feels like a missed opportunity. A stronger cast and more room for storytelling depth might have elevated it beyond a passable watch.

A best thriller web show Each episode is such that we can't expect the way script writer can think in such a way Amazing direction and cast Diya hegde is an amazing talented kid Her performance is excellent such that we couldn't think she was acting Amazing natural emotions We also got an wonderful experience of Kodava vibes!!

Hats off to entire team Eagerly waiting for next season!!
