Khoj: Parchaiyo Ke Uss Paar

Recently seen web series... storyline is similar to classic old movie even name is same....old version is very grippy and cult...new version has failed to deliver thriller...even few changes made according to technology but it has lost its soul... starting episodes are fine but climax is very poor...you don't feel any curiosity or tense situation... direction is also sloppy not provide enough twist to drag you till the end.. storyline has enough potential to hold you but executions are disappointing.. watch only if you not seen old movie...or for timepass only.. actors are decent and loction are soothing..that's only postive...it's failed attempt for thriller.

The new web series attempts to reimagine a gripping narrative first presented in the 1957 classic Chase a Crooked Shadow and later adapted into the 1989 Hindi film Khoj, starring Rishi Kapoor and Naseeruddin Shah. Unfortunately, the series falls flat, failing to capture the intrigue and brilliance of its predecessors.

While the core mystery remains intact, the web series drags through poorly written dialogues and lackluster direction. Where the original Khoj kept audiences on the edge of their seats, this remake suffers from inconsistent pacing and an over-reliance on clichés.

In trying to recreate a story already told twice with finesse, the new Khoj web series only serves as a reminder of what made the originals great. If you're looking for gripping suspense, you'd be better off revisiting the 1989 Khoj or the 1957 Chase a Crooked Shadow. This remake, sadly, is a waste of time.

Story was going goog, but at the end, that same climax we have seen already in many stories. We expect something different in today's OTT era. Every character involved in the conspiracy is much more predictable and more complex stories with complex climax are available and seen by the audience. However, the story keeps binding us until the last episode in the hope that something unpredictable would come out to watch. Series successfully entertains us and actors have done a good work. Series leaves some things unclarified like how they convince some characters to take part in the conspiracy, especially the child.

This series is again an another remake of a movie which already been remade in different languages. A 1958 movie Chase a crooked shadow then 1963 bengali movie Sesh Anka starrer Uttam Kumar, which was truly an outstanding gripping thriller and from that bengali movie we had 1964 tamil remake Puthiya Paravai and 1989 hindi remake Khoj.

The performances of the series is apt but it failed to provide that thrilling experience and the ending which was very much expected from the beginning. The writing should have been better as in the middle of the series it was like the same thing happening and we are waiting for the curtain call!!

For a one time watch to pass the time or if anyone who had not watched the earlier films can watch as other than that you will not get any new twist or turn in this.

Series fit for not very smart people with less intelligence.

Poor story line with very weak character.

The main character of the series is shown as a successful lawyer who does not know anything about law and is jst a stupid man.

The lady playing the character of the wife is played by an amateur actor who does b grade movies and series and should not be allowed to do any acting at all.

The child is shown with an age of 8-10 years who is pranking the father and supporting the police which is not realistic at all as a child of this less age will not be able to act and portray the character in such a way.

This is a pathetic recreation of age old movie with a predicate and boring ending.
