Brinda

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.

Series is amazing but I would say about hindi dubbing thats really really bad specially for Trisha. Trisha is around 40 year old and they dubbed series with some young girl which is not matching at all, and with this series cant look authentic and hindi user are more than any south indian users so if you guys are making content in hindi so dont do any formality do it with proper dubbing at least try and pick close to the the original artist its looking like some old youtube video dubbing not sony liv series.

I hope this wont continue in future and some south indian series will come with realstic dubbing.

An overall rivetting webseries . Thought it was original in tamil but realized later all are telugu actors and it is a telugu webseries ...nevertheless a murder in a strange way creates doubt among a police officer Trisha which takes down a long way in terms of wrong doings in the name of god...good thing about this story is it does not target any one religion but brings about evil in all religion ... The screenplay is built around it and the good thing I personally liked about this screenplay is the way background about this story built is fairly believable though with some loopholes especially in the way the protagonist police officer TRISHA able to identify the antagonists in few places ... But still some surprises especially in the build of anotgonism is worthy. But as we have seen such stories have very predictable cinematic ending .. These days it is trending to continue with season 2 story at the end but thankfully it is avoided which is good .. overall a good watch among current trending nonsense webseries.

'South Queen' Trisha Krishnan forayed into OTT with the Telugu web series, 'Brinda', directed by Surya Manoj Vangala.

Brinda (Trisha Krishnan) is a newly appointed sub-inspector, who is moody and hardly gets treated as equals at the police station. She goes to work, struggles to sleep and is quite smart. When her superiors, including Sarathi (Ravindra Vijay), want to close a murder case as suicide, she smartly points out that it's a murder. This smart work lands her in trouble as her boss always tries to put her in place because she's a woman. But Brinda is someone who will not take it with a pinch of salt. She teaches him a lesson.

Eventually, Brinda is right, and she goes alone to forests, river bodies and uninhabited places to find clues to prove her claims. Except for Sarathi, nobody takes her seriously. Sarathi, Brinda and their SIT (special investigation team) are after the murderer, who lets out multiple secrets about the murder and also helps her solve unanswered questions about her personal life.

Over eight episodes with nearly 40 minutes of runtime each, director Surya Manoj Vangala gives a peek into the lives of Brinda, her childhood, Sarathi, Kabir Anand (Indrajith Sukumaran) and the killer (Anandsami). All of their characters have great arcs that allow them to play their parts to the fullest and keep the audience invested. Every episode begins with a black-and-white portion of their childhood, and we slowly get to know why they turned up and how they grew up.

Surya deals with people who have blind faith in God and how superstitious practices affect people. This is a tricky topic given the current climate across the country. But, kudos to Surya for dealing with the topic so sensitively that it points out the negative impact on society. It also showcases how parenting (or the lack of it) impacts Brinda, Kabir Anand and the killer (Anandasami).

'Brinda' is easily one of the best works by actor Trisha. She is earnest as Brinda, and you're intrigued about her character from the first episode. Ravindra Vijay as Sarathi shines in yet another impactful role. He's not just someone who helps Brinda in the investigation but also gets a fleshed-out arc. Anandasami as the killer is menacing, and his flashback portions explore the stupidities that humans commit because of superstitions. Indrajith Sukumaran gets too little to do, but he does his best.

'Brinda' has the right amount of thrill and almost all the twists and turns work. The fact that the procedural drama doesn't get predictable is its huge asset. Along with the director and cast, the technical team contributed to making the show appealing.
