Killer Soup

2024 started with a bang for all the TV series enthusiasts and movie lovers, with the perfect intro of this series. Manoj sir at its best, doing something very unique this time. The story revolves around a wife who wants to own a restaurant someday but her husband does not support her. What did she do to get her dreams fulfilled, and did she win in all the chaos? The cinematography is beautiful, with powerful dialogues, and each and every episode, keeps you on the edge of the seat. Konkona did so well, like she always does and all other supporting actors also played their part well. A really good mystery thriller with a satisfactory end. Recommended.

I rate this 7/10 because it kept me engaged and for fabulous acting by konkana sen and manoj bajpayee. As a web series fan I would like to see more such series in hindi where you are hooked onto the story from beginning to the end. There are so many details in every scene in this series and credit goes to the direction.

There are elements of comedy which impressed me because of the humour added which should go well with the genz viewers too. Have your drink or a smoke 😉 and you are in for an entertaining journey.

And believe it or not , this is my review after just watching one and half episode.

Show intended to be a Dark Comedy Thriller including a series of murders and one thing leading to another and to another but the weak script and average acting(poor in some cases) took the show to nowhere. It has it's moments but couldn't lift up show's genre game. Didn't expect such below the mark acting from legends like Manoj Bajpai and a refined actress like Konkana Sen Sharma. The events of story sometimes feel like made up and predictable. I intended to finish it in one go but failed to do so even after fast forwarding through some dull and clippable moments of the show. Easily avoidable to save your precious time.

Dont know why this has low rating. This series was very intriguing and I just watched all episodrs in 2 days. Manoj Vajpayee and Konkana are brilliant. Director has done a very good job. Story is believable and yet surrealistic. This was something fresh otherwise you see all those run of the mill series that have nothing new to offer. All actors were very natural. Some faces are not well known but they surprised me with their craft. Abhishek haubey director has shown that he is super talented. Only critique I have is that it was a bit longer. 5-6 episodes would have been sufficient. Else a must watch!

Expected better role and presence for Manoj Bajpai sir. Director hasn't used him well. Mostly revolves around Konkana Sen Sharma, she has done a fine job but series is a stretch. 6 episode with quick turnarounds would have made it interesting. All the actors have done a good job. To avoid simplicity of suspense, it has actually turned into a soup.

Even with above observations it kept me glued since I like dark comedy, suspense etc. We can relate it to Rajkummar Rao's Oh My darling which was also similar genre and better.

Do watch first few episodes to see if it is your cup of soup oops tea...
