Web Series Review: Nikhoj ( Season 1&2) streaming on Hoichoi!! A treat for my Bong friends!!
Nikhoj , directed by Ayan Chakraborti is a tightly scripted crime suspense thriller which will definitely hold u in rapt attention all throughout.
The story starts off with the disappearance of Diti , the daughter of decorated police officer Brinda Das (Swastika Mukherjee) . The very next day Rohit Sen (Tota Roy Chowdhury) , a celebrated news anchor is found blood-drenched and drugged in his car right in the middle of the road. During interrogation, Brinda and her team get to know that Diti and Rohit, along with others, were partying the previous night.
Is Diti dead or alive? What exactly happened that night ? Why doesn't Rohit remember how he got in the car ? Will the perps be brought to justice ? This series, divided into 2 seasons attempts to answer all the questions.
ABT the cast- Swastika as the protagonist delivers a stellar performance which perfectly balances the emotional trauma of a mother whose only child has gone missing & her responsibility as a bad ass no nonsense cop who has to solve the case. Brilliant indeed.
Tota Roy Chowdhury as the accused/ victim too delivers a solid performance whose investigative skills are seen more in Season2 in order to prove his innocence.
Brindas face offs with her fellow pollice officer Samantha too have been very well showcased. The title track Nikhoj Tui by Rupam Islam is truely haunting and compliments the narrative perfectly!!
Overall Nikhoj is a tightly woven taut thriller with a lot of twists and turns . The climax too has been well conceived leading to a logical conclusion!!
Definitely bingewatchworthy!! Going with 4/5 for this one .. Adios🙂!!
