Hankaar (2018– ) User Reviews

Amazing Nail-biting experience

[cooolzzy · 9/10 · 1 August 2018]

The inte sirf of the plot accompanied with the mystery that revolves with each if the characters, not just limited to the 5 is simply delightful at the same time makes you uncomfortable as you keep expecting something that should be happening but boom !!! The twists come and ruin them.

I particularly loved the character of Nisha who is shown as an NGO worker - so much dedicated and passionate about her work. She has a past that she has moved on from. Then my next favourite is Joy because of his a) Good diction b)His intelligence and prowess over technology. The best thing about other characters is that they keep evolving with every episode. Nothing is static.

Eagerly waiting for a S02. Good work team!!

Content the fulcrum

[sanketshanware · 9/10 · 1 August 2018]

A brilliant attempt at discreetly unraveling five distinct characters and then gradually converging them at one point, that's Hankaar in a sentence.

Supremely dramatic when it comes to writing. It's as if from the sixth episode it escalates uncontrollably, flavored with moments to heighten the drama it seems.

Also, reading the synopsis of each episode one gets an idea of what fate the characters might come across, and it just reduces a bit of surprise element then, but that's where you are tricked because not everytime does something like this happen and when you get deceived you would be intrigued!. Although the last four episodes -the final lap- seem to grip the viewer much more strongly because of so much happening all the time. The core of the series is stacked up in that final lap -all the revelations, crisis, dramatic moments- Iike any webseries. This imbalanced spread of the series is quite interesting but equally risky. If the start would have been on a high note then the audience would've been hooked already rather than building it up. Hopefully, season 2 can start with a bang...

Post production work has been heavily jeopardized and it reduces the fun of watching the series. Poor sound mixing and dubbing clubbed with excess of background music just spoils some moments that could've had a greater impact. There's no link and flow to the music, it should bind the series together, but on the contrary just becomes disturbing after a point of time.

The lead character Z is shown very judiciously and we get to know about him from others, and that's an interesting way to know a character. It has set up things very nicely to know him all the more in the next season.

Overall, the content is the backbone of this series it is something new in the market, unseen and unheard of before on any social media or television platform in our country.

Watch it for the content, the way it's intelligently crafted and shown to us.

Highly overrated.

Started to watch basing on the rating given. Highly disappointed by the present of this so called thriller.

Acting as well as direction is mediocre.
