Inspector Rishi

INSPECTOR RISHI begins with a banger scene, and the scene sets the tone perfectly for whatever is coming. But once the proceedings gets going, you slowly beging to realize that you aren't hoing to get that high which the beginning sequence provided. And that's the biggest problem with this series. It begins with such a brilliant sequence that it never quite manages to top it, and keeps chasing that high, which eludes it right up till the end.

The series has a interesting story to tell and it mixes folklore with relevant social issues, but due to its tonal inconsistencies and below average writing, it fails to reach up to its desired potential. This is a mystery thriller series with a touch of horror in between, but due to its dull pace in several portions, the mystery doesn't feel as tantalizing as it should have. The series could have easily done well with 8 episodes instead of 10, but due to several outstretched portions and subplots, it doesn't leave a desired impact. The red herrings are nicely done, and the central mystery is nicely built, but the unraveling part isn't as good, and the end twist isn't that surprising.

Acting is superb all around, and technically the series is fine too barring some poor visual effects and awkward fight sequences. Overall, it's a fine series that doesn't jusify its length and could have done well with some editing and a better writing.

Great story, beautiful jungle setting and mountaintop scenery - spectacular to look at. The story is related to a forest town where some murders happen in very strange circumstances. It's spooky and scary. Some of the scenes can be hard to watch given the background music which makes it even scarier. The director has done a good job here. Although at times the music can be too loud. 75% of the show was engaging but they sort of slow it down almost every 10-15 min with overly long love story and personal drama. It just loses momentum for that reason. This should have been 8 episodes. Would have been lot more engaging. Otherwise the story is unique and blends in super natural with nature and a mystery. If edited better it would have been 9/10 rated.

Fabulous cinematography. A gem that I missed almost for a year, aesthetically made. It sounded like a perfect horror almost until the end of the tenth episode and then the tragic past is revealed. Turmoil of emotions, losing a loved one and betrayal in the name of love, superstitious beliefs and a twist in the end! Undoubtedly one of Naveen Chandra's best! I'm a huge fan of Sunaina and she nailed it in this one. I wish she had more screen space. Some scenes like the elephants one, feeding of birds and the meeting spot were just stunning. And last but not the least, incredible bgm! One of the best web series from South on prime. The locations chosen for the series were thoughtful and mind blowing!

It's not perfect but definitely has soul and is a very decent watch.

Cliched yet bold twists keep you on the toes but then some parts feel like you have seen it all way too many times. Same tropes, different story.

Acting is refined and fresh and note worth for all actors involved.

Particularly loved the man vs nature segments but couldn't help but wish that the mythical elements didn't drag as much as made it more interesting, which did not happen after Episode 7.

I would recommend the show even if you are not dazzled as easily.

Good concept but could have been much better.

Enjoy it but don't expect much.

A captivating series that holds you tight from start to finish. Season 1 leaves you eagerly anticipating the next installment. The storyline is solid, with direction that keeps you hooked throughout.

Rishi, Satya, Aayannar, and Chitra deliver convincing performances, though Kathy shines as a standout character while Viji adds an amusing touch. The series reached a climax that left audiences on the edge of their seats, keeping them guessing until the very end.

Vanarachi's presence on screen is simply mesmerizing. Each character contributes meaningfully to the plot, leaving no loose ends. The picturesque locations and scenery add another layer of depth to the presentation. Even the Hindi dubbing is commendable, ensuring a seamless viewing experience. In short, it's a series that's definitely worth your time and attention.
