Starts strong — impressive acting from most of the cast, a suspenseful storyline, and striking cinematography. The plot initially hooks you, but it unravels as it nears the end. It feels like the screenwriters either ran out of steam or ideas, leading to an abrupt and unconvincing conclusion. That’s where viewer interest starts to drop when the payoff doesn’t match the build-up. There are glaring loopholes that raise questions instead of tying things up. Vaani Kapoor, as a police officer, feels miscast; her presence lacks the authority or believability the role demands. Her brief role as a granny was passable, but someone like Shriya might’ve brought more depth to the role. The ease with which “Ananya Bhardwaj” (Surveen Chawla), supposedly the heir to Rukmini, is killed off, almost comically, dilutes the narrative weight. Even worse, “Moksha” (Aditi), who is built up as a fierce, almost ninja-like warrior, is suddenly overpowered by an ordinary police officer (i.e. normal human being) in a clumsy scene that screams poor planning. In short, the series had potential — but it’s frustrating to watch strong setups dissolve into lazy, unconvincing conclusions.

Totally a waste of time. Same recycled plot, nothing fresh. A gangster supposedly ruling the area ends up personally chauffeuring a thief around, with his henchman just sitting in the backseat. What kind of crime lord was Jaideep even supposed to be? Skip this anytime.
