Brinda

This series represents a significant opportunity to showcase Trisha Krishnan's full potential in a leading role. Director, Surya Manoj Vangala, effectively utilizes her Trisha's potential, creating a compelling narrative from the outset.

The supporting cast delivers exceptional performances, with Indrajith Sukumaran, Jayaprakash, and especially Anand Sami shining. Shakti Kanth Karthik's score powerfully enhances the emotional depth of the story. While Dinesh K. Babu's cinematography is visually striking and Anwar Ali's editing keeps viewers engaged, the CGI unfortunately suffers from apparent budgetary constraints.

The screenplay masterfully establishes an eerie and creepy atmosphere that maintain viewer engagement throughout the episodes. While the plot developments may be somewhat anticipated, Brinda remains an intriguing watch.

Good concept but easily could have been 6 episode series. Name sake sentiment scenes didnt worked (sister sentiment, baby sentiment,etc..) Trisha acting was good in investigation scenes but action scenes looked funny. Ravindra Vijay as usual done a good job. Psycho villain character worked as expected. Other casting also good. God related philosophies were good. Decent cinematography and background score for short series. Twists were predictable, few questionable logics here and there. Could have reduced unnecessary detailings. Little bit emotional connect and reduced runtime might have increased the potential of this series. My Rating: 6.5/10.

First of all this webseries made me sit through till the end.

Positives: 1) Unique story line 2) Trisha 3) All actors and actresses performed well Negatives: 1)Screenplay is routine as it is similar to many serial killer webseries. Those who have seen many serial killer films might not find it interesting 2)Villain should have been revealed at the end. Even though he was revealed after 6episodes 3)These types of formats need lot of gripping chase sequences or action set pieces. If they are there , it could have been a different level similar to ratsasan 4)More layers should have been added to Trisha's characterisation. Somehow even though she appears intelligent , her character is more like a detective rather than a dynamic police officer.

When you see big names associated with a series, it grabs your attention. The same happened with this one for me, and I binge-watched it.

A police officer with minimal support from her department investigates a crime that opens up a serial murder case, leading to the formation of a new team to crack it. The story revolves around how this investigation includes her past and unravels various mysteries along the way.

The plot is good, and the way everything is interconnected makes it a riveting watch. However, the series' length is a major drawback as it lags at many points. This 8-episode series should have been shortened to 6 episodes for a crisper and more engaging narrative. The suspense can be guessed easily, which diminishes its impact, though the motive of the crime somewhat compensates for it.

Trisha, in the central role as a police officer, does complete justice to her character. She embodies the persona of an officer well. Indrajith Sukumaran is a performer, and he plays his part decently. Ravindra Vijay is equally good as a police officer.

There are plenty of cinematic liberties that are not expected from a series like this. Despite being sharp-minded police officers, they often miss the obvious. The BGM and credit montage are brilliant. The cinematography is good as it adds to the feel of the story.

It could have been an engaging watch, but sadly, it is lengthy, turning it into an average affair. Watch it if you love investigation series.

The story has compelling elements and features a cast of intriguing characters. The treatment of the narrative is realistic, making it easy to immerse oneself in the unfolding drama.

The Screenplay holds your attention, even if it progresses at a slow pace. The suspenseful plot, enhancing the mystery elements keeps the us hooked.

The dialogue, while not exceptional, serves its purpose adequately.

The direction is commendable, reflecting a solid grasp of the storyline and characters, though there is always room for slight improvement.

Trisha embodies her character with a subtlety and naturalness. She avoids any hint of overacting, instead delivering a performance that feels genuinely real. Her simple, makeup-free look is both stunning and fitting for the role, showcasing her natural beauty and acting prowess.

While she did not dub her own voice, the dubbing artist put forth a commendable effort to match Trisha's nuanced acting but it lacked the subtlety that was in Trisha's performance and there are also a few instances of imperfect lip-syncing. However, these minor discrepancies are easily overlooked.

Anand Sami delivers a chilling and intense portrayal of a serial killer, bringing a fresh and captivating presence to the screen. His performance is both innovative and convincing, making his character stand out.

Ravindra Vijay shines in his role, delivering such a convincing performance that one might believe he could be a real-life police officer. His portrayal is authentic and grounded, adding depth to the narrative.

Rakendu Mouli also delivers a solid performance, Yashna, as Chutki, is endearing and plays her role with charm, adding a lighthearted touch to the film.

Indrajit Sukumaran and the rest of the cast also deliver commendable performances, each bringing their characters to life in a believable and engaging manner.

The production values, while modest, demonstrate a commendable effort. The locations are well-chosen, the sets appropriate, and the makeup is kept natural to match the series' realistic tone.

The cinematography, although it could be improved, effectively captures the essence of the scenes.

The music complements the mood of the series beautifully, adding depth to the viewing experience.

Overall, this is the best web series to come out of South India.
