The Railway Men was outstanding, so expectations are sky high for this one! But I'm a bit worried - mixing mythology with crime thriller sounds risky. Hope they don't make it too complicated for average viewers like me. Still, will definitely give it a try for Gopi sir's direction.

Finally Vaani Kapoor getting a meaty role! She was brilliant in War but didn't get enough screen time. Indian OTT is really giving actresses better opportunities than Bollywood. More power to shows like these that focus on strong storytelling rather than just star power.

While I appreciate the enthusiasm, I hope the series doesn't get lost in its own complexity. Sometimes directors focus so much on 'layers' that the basic story suffers. That said, the cast looks promising and YRF's track record with OTT content has been good so far.

Mythological + crime thriller is such a fresh concept! Our ancient stories have so much depth that can be explored in modern formats. Hope they do justice to both genres without making it too preachy or too violent. Fingers crossed! 🙏

The team looks solid but I'm most excited about Surveen Chawla's return! She was phenomenal in Sacred Games. With Gopi's direction and this cast, this could be India's answer to True Detective. Hope they maintain the quality throughout all episodes.
