Another crime thriller? Feels like OTT is saturated with these. Hope the writing by Anusha and Sandeep is strong and it's not just another predictable missing person story. The cast is good though.

Dibyendu Bhattacharya
Seeing Dibyendu Bhattacharya's name in the cast is a guarantee of quality. That man elevates every scene he's in. The synopsis sounds dark and gripping. Prime Video is investing in good content.

The premise of a shattered family hits close to home. These stories are so important. Glad to see Sonali back, and Ali is a fantastic actor. Hope it handles the sensitive topic with care and not just for thrills.

Finally, Ali Fazal in a proper mainstream web series lead! He was brilliant in Mirzapur. Pairing him with veterans like Aamir Bashir and Rakesh Bedi is a masterstroke. 2026 is too far away, yaar! 😅
