1/10
Illogical and unnecessarily stretched out

Warning: Spoilers
This is a series that starts off fairly well and in the initial 2-3 episodes even engages the viewer; but falters badly later on and sinks further with each episode.

The screenplay and script in the last 5 episodes of the series is so unrealistic and confused; that at places it looks like a parody horror series or one made for kids.

The makers of this series tried hard to convince viewers that the premise is novel and interesting; but in the bargain ended up making it an unappetising khichdi.

Several sub-plots actually go nowhere and also make no sense. For example, somewhere along the way the lead is revealed to be the monster's mother; but its conveniently left unexplained. Its like the writer had some interesting ideas and started to weave them in the plot but suffered loss of memory and left it halfway.

The end reveal is so anti-climactic and underwhelming that it doesn't match up to the build up. Several scenes are lazily written and executed. Feels like several script writers were involved and they ended up spoiling the broth.

For example, the main character's driver is shown as taking up the mantle, getting his forearm branded with a red-hot iron etc. But he meets his end tamely when a possessed female (who he is trying to exorcise) picks up a conveniently placed sword and beheads him.

Unnecessary emotional drama is added in between. The main character is perpetually on a guilt trip and actually does nothing. The climax is so ridiculous and laughable that it actually Insults the intelligence of the audience.

All in all, this could have been a good series if the makers had cut out all the emotional nonsense, focused on just the supernatural aspect and kept it limited to 4-5 taut, well made episodes.
