Rudra: The Edge of Darkness

An adaption of British thriller "LUTHER" is skillfully crafted by director,with the breathtaking performance of Ajay,Kulkarni & surprise element of Raashi Khanna's flawless act...with "VILANGU","ROCKET BOYS",FAME GAME"..OTT is the future of entertainment at ur living room...just sit tight and watch pure aroma of entertainment and many more to come.

It's a wonderful series and looking forward for the second part even. All the characters have played a very important role except Esha Deol as her role is a flop show as she never was even an actor. If her role was played by someone else have been great. No words for Ajay as he is a real performer and. A good story with a good direction.

No doubt Luther was a classic when it was first realeased in 2010. But if we talk about the content which is nowdays being served by indian OTT, this series which is helmed by versatile Ajay Devgn and stunning Rashi khanna, feels little old and more or less episodes of crime petrol.

All the actors were well suited to their roles but the story was somewhere very depressing type . Also there is little cringy taste of typical bollywood theme in some scenes where the flow of movie got broken. Like for example Rudra ie Ajay devgn is presented as a very sharp,well balanced cop but sometimes he behave like he is some chutiya romeo. That ruins the impression of him as a Rudra. Also the story is not well presented and cinematography was also quite black themed.

Tauted as an official remake of the British series Luther, Rudra lacks all the tension, grip and intensity of the original.

The screenplay never rises above mediocrity. Writing lacks the punch. Even the most intense parts, appear to have been written lazily. Only thing that stands out are the performances. Ajay Devgn is brooding and intense. And even brings out the vulnerability of Rudra brilliantly. Ashish Vidyarthi and the guy playing Prabal Thakur impress. Ashwini kalsekar and Atul kulkarni are ok and overact in some scenes.

But it's Rashi Khanna who just springs a pleasant surprise. She looks hot, dangerous and intriguing. She's absolutely fantastic.

Her chemistry with Ajay is amazing. Wish there were some more such moments in the series.

Overall not disappointing and a one time watch for sure. But Devgn's OTT debut could have been a lot better.
