Emerging onto the Indian market, 'Asur' welcomed with exceptional anticipation and curiosity owing to its unique blend of mythology and crime thriller. Attempting a genre mash-up often calls for an extraordinarily firm grip on storytelling, as well as a judicious analysis of what elements borrowed from each genre would lend themselves effectively in portraying a convincingly enthralling narrative. Unfortunately, 'Asur' suffers heavily more than it capitalises on this aspect due to it's slow and tedious storyline in the first season does not simply spoil fun but leads to utter confusion and lack of interest. Random flashbacks and intersections, without any substantial links, complicate rather than add depth to the narrative. Detailed storytelling is laudable, but when sprawled haphazardly, the charm is undeniably lost. One of the primary aspects attracting critique is the seemingly gaudy intuition dropped without proper apprehensions or anticipations. Consider DJ's dialogue - "yehi hain next victim, kyun ke mujhe lag raha hae", it appears overtly dramatic and unfit with the pacing of the storyline. Such mismanaged attempts to sustain suspense only dissolve the tension and disrupt the viewer's engagement. Moreover, the abundance of corpses falling here and there, supposedly based on stars and good deeds without any credible connection or explanation, takes away the series' credibility. Mystery thrillers heavily rely on providing viewers with clues and keeping them guessing. Overdoing such attempts only brings about unnecessary chaos. Contrary to the expectations of avid watchers of such a genre, this series seems fit for casual viewers who find fascination in disjointed narrative arcs. One might claim such narratives challenge the viewers to connect the dots. Still, without any relevant links or subtle hints, it becomes a futile attempt at best, a source of annoyance at worst. In conclusion, 'Asur', rather than being a time-worthy series, comes forth as an overhyped product failing to meet its captivating trailer's promises. Genuine recommendation - fans and followers of the thriller genre should invest their time in content pieces providing more in-depth, coherent, and linked narratives worth their time and interest. It is time content creators stepped out of the overhyped bandwagon and truly revolutionise the Indian thriller genre. Observations and lessons from 'Asur' can be the pioneering step.

Not worth it. Too slow paced storyline, emotionless & too much overacting by Sushmita Sen, just like she dud in Chingaari. After 2nd episode I kind of got dejected. Contributions of people who stood by her was undermined extremely. Too much dramatics has spoiled the show. Sushmita's dialogue delivery is same in all screenplays. But for Sushmita Sen's makeup, 10 on 10. Dialogues were also neither impactful or groud breaking. May be I was expecting a magnanimous potrayal of an ordinary life. Emotions are so less that one cannot even relate with the woes of the 3rd gender. I will not recommend people to watch it.

Rubbish movie. No edge of the seat suspense. Drab & boring screenplay. 1971 female character using clutch clip & shantiniketani leather bag with modern design is laughable. All characters look same. Who is braja ? Who is kali ? Who is lightman ? You won't remember. Atrocious makeup. Other than the protagonist trio rest is sludge. The explicit scenes are also nauseating. Utterly discomforting. Why the bengali directors are always puting unnecessary closeness on screen with formidable dialogues are revolting. Not recommended even for a light watch. Do not wast your money & timefor the undeserving film.
