Review of Kohrra

Kohrra (2023– )
8/10
Barun Sobti's latest mystery is evocative, captivating and easily one of the most compelling shows of this year
16 July 2023
Kohrra is a hard-hitting and unapologetic murder mysteries which doesn't shy away from the harsh truths of Punjab. While the captivating screenplay sinks you in with its powerful writing and masterful performanaces, it also focuses on some the unspoken issues of a common Punjabi household. The casting is stellar and so are the performanaces. The show is a slow burn but still is engrossing and magnetic while it sheds the layers of the mystery. With just 6 episodes, the strong imagery, raw and rustic cinematography places it as a compelling binge.

The show is very well directed by Randeep Jha and written by Gunjit Chopra. Each character is flawed and is fighting personal conflicts while the mystery unravels simultaneously. Starting from the drug abuse in the streets of Punjab, the urge to marry off burdened girls to NRIs and certain levels of patriarchy, Kohrra shows the true side of a dark reality. Barun Sobti and Suvinder Vicky are exceptional and truly deserves all the praise. Hard hitting shows doesn't come often, this is a must watch.

Overall, if you are a fan of slow burn mysteries which takes its own time to get solved while also following the conflicts of thr investigating officers then this is a must watch. Netflix please bring such shows. Barun Sobti killing it in 2023.
