    Nothing mysterious...same old story

    Manvat murders has top notch acting and direction but story is repetitive and predictable. No need of 8 episodes as it can be finish in 3 episodes. Unnecessary story stretch happened in all 8 episodes. Nothing suspense and aweful. Disappointing wrt to story. Ashutosh gowarikar and Makrand Anaspure and few police characters has drive this story. There should be another actress for Sonali's character as she doesn't deliver to the mark. Sai tamhankar character is confused and just a link between murderers and police. Marathi industry has good potential but the storyline wasted the potential in the manvat murders.

    Great start, but a disappointing climax😕

    I thoroughly enjoyed Manavat Murders for its gripping storyline and outstanding cinematography. The combination of black magic with a crime thriller was unique and truly captivating, it added an intriguing twist that kept me hooked throughout. The visuals were stunning, and the pacing was perfect.

    However, the climax was a letdown. It felt overly straightforward and lacked the excitement or unpredictability I was expecting after such a strong buildup. For a series with such a creative premise, the ending felt rushed and uninspired.

    While the journey was thrilling, the destination could have been much better. A good watch overall, but the ending might leave you wanting more.

    Thoughtful well narrated

    It is good to see that storytelling has taken a centerstage in this mini series

    Director takes his own time to take you through the lives of characters to make one understand why they behave in certain way There is a time and social gap between the characters and the viewers Director has done well to close this Occasionally portrayal the underbelly of village black magic makes one feel uneasy There is absolutely no relief that the viewer gets and there is a constant depressive feeling yet i kept watching on

    I liked Ashutosh Gowarikar calm portrayal of police investigator

    Makarand , Saai and Sonali spot on.

    Well Done.

    A Spine-Chilling Saga!

    "No two murders are ever alike. And that is why every murder investigation needs to be handled differently." The opening sequence was enough to create a spark of excitement and the makers successfully carried forward the same level of excitement throughout the episodes. This is one the best murder investigation series that you will watch. It doesn't have unnecessary commercial elements and forced tail ends sequences. It sticks very true to the seriousness of the issue. Overall a decent murder mystery with a classy making and amazing performance from the lead actors especially Ashutosh Gowariker. Don't miss out this!

    Nice series but slow

    Ashutosh Gowariker was a let down ! He doesnt match the part.. but overall the rural setting,70's settings are well done. Direction and screenplay are nicely knit. Only if a able actor was casted instead of gowariker who cud acted naturally and like a marathi actor n not only a constantly hand waving english and uncomfortable marathi speaking performers, series wud hv given a greater effect! Sai sonalee and makarand actually look menacing n awesome.. even supporting cast has acted actually well. Series pace shud have been a bit more faster with better pacing n not lagging behind the thinking of the audience! We actually can think ahead of the series. Still works for me minus gowariker ! He isnt a good actor.
