Andhera

It's a kind of slow burn horror mixed with sci-fi, and it sounds nice, isn't it? But... they were going fine with the starting episodes; then it begins to feel a bit drawn out. There are a few jump scares as well. Anyway, it's a good watch if you are into horror. Also, the leads did their job well..

The show starts strong-Surveen Chawla steals every scene, and Prajakta Koli holds up alright-but honestly, the rest of the cast feels weak. It's inspired by Stranger Things vibes, and the creepy mood and visuals in early episodes are great. But it slows down, piles on subplots, and ends without a satisfying conclusion. Still, I binge-watched the whole thing in a day. Better than most OTT horror attempts.

Although the story is laid out from the beginning, the show still manages to deliver some unexpected twists, like the reveal of the mastermind and the moment when she kills her father. The series is gripping enough that I finished it in just a day, every episode kept me curious to see what would happen next.

The performances are strong across the board, bringing a perfect mix of horror and emotion to the screen.

The plot is not that super exciting and the series lack a bit but it is good in bits nd pieces as the acting of the cast is good but story doesn't hold that much.

The chemistry between prajakta and the main lead actor is really good also the supporting role of the actors are also good but story needs to be more shining.

Andhera is an exquisitely crafted sci-fi horror series that transcends its genre trappings with intelligent writing and a deft balance of suspense, spectacle, and soul. The show weaves a captivating blend of fantasy and horror, all underpinned by a profound social message that lingers long after the credits roll. Philosophical undertones are interlaced seamlessly into the narrative, prompting reflection while never slowing the momentum.

The plot is a rollercoaster of tension and intrigue, while a few twists are gratifyingly foreshadowed, several arrive with spine-tingling unpredictability. Performances across the board are stellar, but Surveen Chawla delivers a magnetic portrayal that anchors the emotional core of the series. The visual effects are commendable, with CGI that enhances rather than distracts, and the jump scares are well-timed, eliciting genuine jolts instead of cheap tricks.

I pressed play intending to sample the first episode, only to find myself eight episodes deep, watching dawn break outside my window. "Andhera" is not just binge-worthy, it's binge-compelling. A rare piece of genre television that engages both the mind and the senses.
