Andhera

Andhera feels less like an original series and more like a reheated copy of Stranger Things. From the dark parallel world to the group of kids stumbling into mysteries, everything comes across as a parody rather than a fresh idea.

While the show tries to capture the eerie vibe of supernatural suspense, it struggles with originality and depth. The characters feel underdeveloped, and many plot points mirror what fans have already seen in Netflix's hit series. Instead of paying homage, it often ends up looking like a repoff that doesn't bring much new to the table.

If you're curious and don't mind watching a desi-flavored spoof of Stranger Things, you might find some entertainment here. But if you're looking for an engaging and unique thriller, Andhera might leave you disappointed.

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..

I guess writer started with stranger things and then he thout ohh.. wait most of them knew the story let's add something to give it an Indian touch... miserably failed... Guess I would suggest please do not waste ur time.

Jay saves this situation but Omar do have that Andhera in it.. just mere stranger things..I would prefer to see stranger atleast it had some logic behind to link the things .. I don't know what write wants to convey.. does he want to convey message of depression. Or paranormal things or.

The storyline is gripping and keeps you engaged until the end, even though there aren't many twists and turns. The visual effects (VFX) are also not very realistic.

The most ANNOYING aspect of the show was the main teenage character, Jay. His performance was unconvincing and came across as overly dramatic. Rumi, the female lead, didn't do any better in her role.

I must mention another Prime show called Khuaff, which features an excellent storyline, compelling acting, unexpected twists, and a genuinely creepy atmosphere.

Well, they've clearly tried to give Stranger Things an Indian touch, but after watching so many Hollywood series in this genre, this one just doesn't match up. The main character feels dull and unconvincing. There are unnecessary scenes (like the forced lesbian subplot) that add nothing to the story.

The dialogues are poorly written - one moment the character is speaking English, and the very next line in Hindi. At least maintain some consistency. The mix of sci-fi and horror just doesn't blend well here.

On the positive side, the visual effects and VFX are impressive - no doubt about that. Sadly, good visuals can't save weak storytelling.
