Murder by the Sea

One of the worst I have seen . Bad script, poor acting, overacting in many areas. Ananya Chatterjee is a good actress. Seeing her performance and of all others was a pain. Avoid if you can.

This series is clearly inspired by Agatha Christie's famous style. But the problem was in how the central character unraveled the plot at the end. There were some superficial logics. Had that portion been a little bit clue based, it would make this a strong thriller. Moreover, some characters were merely added as probable suspects, just to make the plot more complex. However, towards the end some of them lost their significance. And that makes the gist very little, and the story full of fillers.

The veterans performed better, but that was poor for the youngsters.

Web series review especially for my Bong friends - Murder by the Sea streaming on Hoichoi #sanjuzzreviews #MurderByTheSea #HoichoiOriginals #hoichoi

Directed by ace bengali director Anjan Dutt, this series focuses on the murder of a prominent businessman in Puri and the investigation carried out to catch the murderer.

The Goenda (Detective) here is an acclaimed writer of crime fiction ,Ananya Chatterjee who also suffers from bipolar disorder caused due to a childhood trauma. Along with her director husband Anjan Dutt, Ananya has recently relocated to Puri to help her recuperate. She gets invited to a party which starts the chain of events that culminate in murder. The list of suspects include the victims son , Arjun Chakraborty, the lawyer, the secretary, Payel Sarkar ( the mistress) and a photographer looking for scandalous pics of the deceased actress wife.

Cast and acting not bad , but can be better especially the protagonist who hams a lot 😁.

Story is decently paced with something or the happening in each episode. Beach locales of Puri have been well showcased.

A simple whodunit actually... I could figure out the murderer in the 3rd episode itself.

Watch it and try to catch the killer before the series does it for you... All the best!!

3/5 from me for this one... Adios!!🙂

This series is so so boring that I could not complete watching it after an hour. Everything was bad, script, screenplay, DOP, acting there wasn't a single positive about this series. Stay away from this one and thank me later.

While episode 1 starts on a high, it meanders off to boredom soon after. The protagonist is depicted so idiotically that I got a headache after watching her over 8 long boring episodes. The climax was no shocker and anyone can guess it if they have watched quite a few detective series in the past. Most of the characters are unnecessary to the plot, with too many stupid backstories that do not seem to converge in the end. SKIP THIS ONE and better re-watch some good old series like EKEN BABU on HOCIHOI.
