It's stretched too much. They only try to make money by keeping number of seasons! It could have been great but it becomes boating after a point.

Just a casual watch, nothing is great about this.

This series belongs to two people in my opinion- Raghubir Yadav's Mohan Kumar and the guy who plays Eketi, a tribal guy from the Andamans. The kind of patience Eketi has in him in his quest to find their stolen deity Ingatayi is terrific to watch. You never see him breaking down even in hopeless situations which shows the powerful control he has over his emotions. Raghubir's character on the other hand is a hilarious fest. His split personality disorder making him change to Gandhiji like man and then changing back again to the angry barking Mohan Kumar is ridiculously funny to witness.

However, this series is extremely lengthy thanks to how the whodunit thriller is presented. Based on the book "6 suspects", this series has 9 eps , of which nearly 6 episodes completely dedicated to the backstory of each suspect and how they all reached the party of Vicky where he was assassinated .

Each back story has even more sub plots which further lengthen the series and at the end becomes really tough for us to keep track of the events so much so that many things may appear confusing towards the end.

Good thing is, it never bored me. The BGM and events happening kept me hooked to this series but ya definitely it did tire me a lot. Good attention has been put to details everywhere which is why the series is so long.

Too many twists and turns are not good, few smart ones are always good. This series does exactly the former. Not only are there many twists, but also none of them are smart ones. Still it is decent enough to make it somewhat interesting. The final twist at the end was unnecessary or maybe the book is like that only. Still I feel that we can predict the killer cuz few characters 's angles were not thoroughly explored.

As I said, raghubir and that Eketi guy are the best ones for me. Pratik has this shady character which you will figure out later. Actually, every single character in this series is kinda shady and Pratik's Suraj is one of them. Rest all have done a decent job.

Overall, take a good time in hand to watch this series and make sure you don't miss out on the tiny events that occur else everything would look vague to you later.

When the series started it was not so engaging but slowly it started to entertain you with its suspence content. Various character started pouring in and there are of course many nail biting moments...but towards the end of episode 6 and also in the next 3 episodes things were messy...May be season 2 would compensate the loopholes of season 1. Season1 was little disappointing...but yes waiting for season 2.

Web series review : The Great Indian murder streaming on Disney+ Hotstar #sanjuzzreviews #TheGreatIndianMurder

Directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia and adapted from Vikas Swarup's novel "Six suspects", The Great Indian Murder is a misadventure of sorts.

A maniacal scion of a politician is murdered at a party hosted by him to celebrate his acquittal in a case case involving the rape and murder of 2 underage girls. The series identifies 6 suspects who might be the perpetrators of the crime.

Pros : Casting is bang on. Pratik Gandhi, Richa Chaddha, Ashutosh Rana,Paoli Dam, Ameya Wagh and Raghubir Yadav ( the best among the lot) have done a fabulous job. Well directed too .. doesn't look like a cheap web series.

Cons: The novel from which it has been adapted has a convoluted plot & too many lengthy sub plots involving the suspects which lead the viewers astray . I had read the novel way back in 2015 and did not find it great either. So, in a nutshell the novel from where the script has been derived from, is a big letdown. Also long episodes of around 50 mins each are tiresome as the series trudges to a lame climax.

Pls go ahead and watch it.... If you do not have any other good options, that is 🙂

2/5 from me for this one .. adios 🙂

The overall product is fine, but too slow paced I understand the need for the director to build the characters, but it has hampered the pace and at most times is a tedious watch.

One murder shot from a lot of angles. Show left in a cliffhanger. Builds up for a brilliant second season. Tigmanshu Dhulia has managed to tear apart and sew back a brilliant first season to the show. Brilliant performances from all the actors although Pratik Gandhi's character is playing a North Indian guy but still has a Gujarati accent to his part. It was like Harshad Mehta became a cbi officer after reincarnation. Otherwise all other characters did a great job specially Raghubir Yadav and Richa Chadda. One character which surprised me to another level is Vicky Rai by Jatin Goswami. Jatin gets under the skin of the character and does a fabulous job.

If youve got time on your hands you can watch this. Editing is not out of this world. Casting is very good. Raghuveer yadav is good. Richa chadda looks more than chubby. That CBI officer disappoints. Overall 6 out of 10. Seems they tried something keeping patal lok in mind.

Perfect watch fantastic direction by aapne ramadhir Singh ji (cinema dekhte nahi hai par banate aacha hai😅) pratik was good richa was better however raghubir Yadav was 🔥 don't miss this one..

The only reason I started watching this Series is because of Pratik Gandhi.

However this is a very slow story with entire Episodes on Suspects that became very boring. The Web Series is a Murder Mystery but I would not categorize it as a Thriller. The only people who acted well were Raghuvir Yadav, Pratik Gandhi & Ekati(whoever he was). A little disappointed that Pratik Gandhi did not have enough to do here. If you are expecting 1992 Scam like performance then forget it. You cannot blame him because that was the Story. Rich Chadha was terrible. She did not even come across like a Police Officer.

You can definitely give this Web Series a miss.

Such an annoying ending and boring series.

Complete waste of time and good actors.

I haven't watch a worse series than this.

I regret wasting my time on this series. Save your time... Watch something else.

One word.. Junk.

The director has a done a stellar job with both the writing and directing. He has done justice with all the cast members and made this a binge watch! Tigmanshu Dhulia brings yet another gem. Complemented with rich cinematography and music, it's a must watch, very well adapted from the book Six Suspects!

The story if very interesting with a lot of subplots but it has been stretched a bit too much... Should have been made crisp and the pace of series is also very slow... Overall a watchband series...

The story is boring but the worst is the characters especially Richa Chada's cringeworthy acting. There are many better actors who could've done a much better job. The final twist in the story is a bit good but very badly executed.

Wish I didn't waste my weekend watching this. So watch only if you have too much time to waste. Otherwise better skip.

My Rating : 7/10

A lot of polarising viewpoints on this web series, some have enjoyed it while others have hated its slow paced and confused storytelling. I enjoyed it for the most part, mainly because of the choice of the actors.

The storyline is good, the execution is a bit off at times and feels a bit non-sensical and only there to fill up the time.

Overall, it's engaging enough to watch and would like to see the second part be more tight and hopefully ends on a high note.

The show projects the politics and the corruption behind a high profile case. Every character played their role brilliantly, specially Pratik Gandhi. He was on fire, the way he walks, the dialogue delivery was brilliant.

This was a great show to watch. It keeps you hooked till the end because when you thought the culprit is caught there is this amazing twist and turns. Totally loved it . Although I started watching it because of Pratik Gandhi and as always he nailed it but he should have been given more screen time.

It was engaging from the start. But lost its momentum abt 4th ep onwards till the 8th.

Too lengthy exploration of suspects and their mundane associations, i guess the director was trying to build their profiles but its such a drag.

Pratik Gandhi shd have had more screen time.

Richa Chadha i must say attempts to talk like a tough cop but ends up sounding like a nice lady next door, sorry but not a big fan of her acting.

Acting, dialogues, story, direction and connecting with characters is 100%. Suspense is really too good. Every minute is entertaining. Politics, corruption, immorality & innocents - very nicely shown. Everyone inacted as per their characters.

Performances are good, few twists are also fine.

But overall it is just an average watch. There are many plot holes, many unconvincing storylines. At few places it stretches so much that we need to fast forward. I was expecting much more from Tigmanshu.

The subplots running in each episodes are too shallow with Uncountable illogical situations .Dialogues & screenplay both are poor. Technical aspects are average. You hardly feel engaged Ashutosh rana is only saving grace. Rest cast is wasted.

Recent book adaptations : white tiger & now this one both are destroyed brutally. Books delve much deeper & are atmospheric.

Sadly series looks hollow.

Cast was good, Story was good, Thriller quotient is ZERO.

Edge of the seat scenes are not there. I started with expectations for watching "Great" murder mystery but it feels like more of a documentary.

The whole first season could have been shown in 2 3 episodes, buy they have overkilled with background stories of all suspects.

I am not waiting for 2nd season, I don't want to waste another 7 8 Hours.

I would rate this show little more than average. Watched it for entertainment. Story was good not so suspense. Some actor do very well specially Raghubir, Richa, Pratik Gandhi.
