The remainder of the solid are additionally on the cash whereas Goldie Behl delivers his greatest inventive work in years and the icing on the cake is the late entry by Amit Sadh.
Although I have not seen Flower of Evil, the Okay-drama this Zee5 sequence relies on, I can nonetheless state that it is a mighty good, Indianised adaptation, drawing you in with thrill, suspense, layers of human drama which might be slowly peeled off and no small quantity of pathos. The manufacturing worth and camerawork are additionally fairly good as is the modifying, conserving issues snappy at 9 episodes of nearly half an hour every. A phrase of the motion choreography, too, with two chase sequences standing out.
What’s not

Fortunately, they happen solely few and much between in Duranga, however are nonetheless distinguished sufficient to not be neglected. A number of narrative choices additionally beg you to droop disbelief, however you gladly do this because you’re having such a great time.
BL Verdict
A number of plotholes and logical inconsistencies apart, Duranga on Zee5 is definitely the primary addictive, binge-worthy and very properly carried out Indian net sequence on psychopaths and serial killers, capturing all their darkish and devious quirks with copious layers and edge-of-the-seat suspense. I am going with 4 out of 5 stars.
