[@prassadable]

The show is blatantly Hinduphobic!! It is a propaganda series where Muslims yet again have been shown as victims and innocent people and Hindus are shown as main culprits and communal people. Images of Hindu gods and goddesses are shown in most of the scenes where crimes or wrongdoings happen, including prison walls. Epicenter of crime in the plot happens to be Chitrakoot (for obvious reasons!!) considered to be holy place associated with Shri Ram! Mob lynching by Hindu groups for false alarm of beef is a must add !! All in all a Hinduphobic series full of communal propaganda!!

It is an outright act of discrimination! It is in India where ubiquitous brothels exists whose system is deeply ruined by forlorn iniquity and movie itself is circulating in that reality and they have audacity put a scene like that! Just because we let it go most of the time doesn't mean that we don't mind! It felt like a slap on the face, this is wicked and discriminatory. They should remove that scene ASAP.

If you think about it carefully you would realise that, that is exactly why the scene is there. To make everyone feel revulsive about it. Those who didn't even bother till now and shrugged it off casually, are now bound to think about it. Thanks to this scene you are creating a dialogue about it. Putting your voice here. And hopefully will be heard. All because of this scene. In fact that is the job of a storyteller. Not only to create narratives about society but also to put forward the evils so that collectively everyone can realise and talk about it. Don't you think so?

right eing does not exist..what are you getting at..btw what does a second class citizen mean according to you.. And if your talking about balance you will see many more Indian movies only portraying Muslims as terrorists, dons, some criminals etc(so much for balance)..then there will be one muslim cop(a subsidiary character) who will be portrayed as the model indian muslim(which again is set by the majority) rather than issues facing Muslims.. If you want a balanced movie trying to portray a imbalanced world then perhaps its better you search elsewhere..These are the harsh realities.. And its funny that you will accept every other social issue highlighted in the film but when it comes to Muslims then you go into denial mode..and honestly read the last paragraph again, just to understand that perhaps you might actually have alot of stereotypes, thats why a person is accepting everyother issue in the series except this

[@ravijr1]

a k that’s the problem of presumption, and straw man . balance does not mean denial , it means reality of all sides or nuances which I guess does not matter to you and the makers ....I am an Atheist all religions are BS for me. I assume you may have some knowledge about Islam : in that light imagine any maker in India showing Mohammad’s life , his 13 wife’s , slaves , child bride etc , hadiths and Islamic scriptures that are filled with hate , violence , misogyny you will hear crickets 🦗..... there are harrowing stories but I guess it does not matter telling you...also the makers feel scared that a , “2nd class citizen” may come and blow up” remember Charlie Hebdo ???

This is an absolute watch ... But make time before you start coz you wont be able to stop once do ... Nor wud I recommend that as it would interrupt the flow ... Simply fab ... Best hindi thriller till date to be showcased on the online platforms ... I bingewatched till the end ... Enjoy !

Off topic,Anupama are you all right?u seems unwell on camera.

[@sameerratnaparkhi9631]

Jaideep Ahlawat has a new fan. Mindblowing performance. Great show worth binge watching.

[@neerajshukla9516]

Well Crafted and very intriguing web series BUT now the time has come that we should focus on the positiveness in our country that we already have. Majority of us live in harmony and we desperately need some web-series which portrays another aspect of the very true picture of our loving country. We have had enough web series like - Paatal Lok, Asur, Mirzapur, Sacred Games etc. etc. Now, I am waiting that any Director/Producer would come up with the web series that is highly positive in nature and which shows the beauty of the different religions and their harmonious environment that binds us all.

Can anyone explain why Hathi Ram goes to death record keeping office where he gets in trouble? What part of investigation led him to visit the death record keeping office?

[@gagangags2817]

The local chitrakoot journalist gives a lead to hathi ram that jwala gujjar is contesting elections opposite bajpayee and he can't believe that dullalia gujjar would allow this to happen. Hathi ram goes to his room and reminisces throughout his investigation people keep mentioning him and want to meet him but never succeed so he has a light bulb moment where he thinks might be dullalia gujjar is dead and that is the reason why gwala gujjar is contesting against bajpayee, so he goes to check the death records to be sure about this.

[@devdsine]

After his conversation with Amitosh, the local reporter. He tells Hathi Ram that Master Ji would never allow his brother to contest in elections, that too against Bajpayee. So Hathi ram suspects something might have happened, and he connects it with Thyagi continuously trying to get in touch with Master Ji before the assassination. So he reaches the conclusion that Master Ji might have been dead.

Can't decide which one I liked more.... The Family Man or Paatal Lok....?

[@akashagr]

I knew from the beginning.If it’s (MeToo) Tejpal’s story,it’s going to be liked by her.It’s people like Anupama,belonging to gang of Liberals and pseudo-seculars,who look for Hindu-Muslim Angle in everything and always show their selective outrage,and never had or will have to utter a word against Jihadis,because it won’t be good for secular fabric of the country.These scoundrels are the biggest Bigots in India.They are a part of Communist-Jihadi Nexus.

She's given so many details, so many visuals are key moments throughout the movie. (Spoiler Ahead). The scene where Sanjeev Mehra is kissing Sara is not something I would like to see in the trailer.

[@Hellodear-gc9os]

I don't think she sacrificed her sleep to watch this series... May be her team had watched it....

[@nikkiG90]

Critics get early access to ott series, special previews of movies, etc.

[@Hellodear-gc9os]

@@nikkiG90 I heard premier shows for media...... But not early access to ott platform for critics.... Amazon won't allow this.... Again I think may be she watched only 3-4 episodes before this review..... Or Film Companion team or her assistants have sacrificed there sleep to watch this.... Whatever..... I have only problem that why so fast review... Atleast wait for one day.....

[@nikkiG90]

@@Hellodear-gc9os Amazon must have asked for early reviews...all platforms do this. It's very common. It's a way of promotion. Yes, sometimes they are only given the first 3 or 4 episodes...in such cases, the reviewer mentions it. And FC has also interviewed the cast and crew which is up on the channel now. People who have finished watching the show can watch these.

Little we know that’s these lok exist around us and when we can get entangled in them one never know. It also makes us realize that our feelings, beliefs and political inclination is all a pawn in the hands of media, politicians and the one in swarg lok

बुरा ना देखो , बुरा ना बोलो, बुरा ना सुनो । This should be the review of this show. This show is made with such negativity , that u will find no character with CHARACTER.

But why call nepali gurkali randii?

[@AnasChemmala]

That's what is happening in reality. This series shows that reality.

[@successhighway]

Chitrakoot dialect misses the mark in otherwise Fantastic series. Better than Sacred Games & Mirzapur, almost equal to Delhi Crime. Having relatives in Chitrakoot - the dialect is wrong in this series - moda/ modi is never used there. Its more closer to Awadhi than Bundelkhandi - closer to Banda/ Prayagraj than Bundelkhandi of gwalior/ Bhind/ Murena. Panchayat's dialect is almost as close to Purvanchal it depicted. Otherwise a great Series with fav actors.

[@sandycoco4687]

Is it in the US yet?

[@sairazaverimalhotra3590]

Why do we allow so much of voilence to stream in every channel, every series and almost all movies. And the scariest part is all such series full of gory voilence and sex get the best rating. This is the new normal now? I shudder to think what will be life like in 2040 when these teens who are binge watching such things and on top of that porn which I hear is rampant everywhere.

[@RajRaj-ho3ng]

This, is the real world that we live in. We can choose to push it all under our carpets and shut our eyes, but that does not mean it's not happening! The youth today is a lot more intelligent than the generations gone, they choose to keep their eyes open to everything; For, the path to liberation starts from an enquiry. Almost, always.

[@RandomGamingMoments925]

Which is why we don't let kids watch adult movies. Plain and simple. If you allow your kid to watch mature shows, that's on you. Some stories are just dark in nature and trying to be realistic. If you want to watch something happy go watch a Disney movie

[@alomm9789]

Jaideep finally got a lead....awesome

[@deekshabajpai3190]

Why are good stories engulfed in such gory visuals? I am not a fan of this brand of storytelling. There is too much filth to actually enjoy watching the show.
