New Delhi: The new, gripping thriller Netflix series Kohrra, crafted by Sudip Sharma and Karnesh Ssharma’s Clean Slate Films, has taken the internet by storm. It has captured the attention of viewers and earned praise from esteemed filmmakers like Karan Johar and Hansal Mehta for its exceptional storytelling.
Karan Johar, who is currently preparing to release his highly anticipated seventh directorial venture, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, shared a Kohrra poster on Instagram, expressing his admiration. He wrote, “Sometimes the fog never lifts and leaves everything gloomy and even dark… much like the human personality… #Kohrra, the latest @netflix_in release, is arguably the best series I have seen since #trialbyfire (both directed by the brilliant breakthrough filmmaker @randeepjha). What starts off as a murder procedural goes on to delve into the depths of parental patriarchy and entitlement, the psychology of a disturbed childhood, a woman’s right to passion and compassion, and dealing with your inner demons…”
In his caption, Karan continued, “This brilliantly written show is a master class in character development and the delicate balance between intrigue… a tightrope that #sudipsharma #gunjitchopra #diggisissodia navigate flawlessly… sheer brilliance… I was blown away by the performances @suvindervicky is and will be the revelation of 2023 across film and streaming… his silences can launch a million scripts! @barunsobti_says is outstanding… seamlessly transitioning between machismo and vulnerability, he effortlessly embodies his character… The ensemble cast, including @itsharleensethi @chaudhari_manish @badolavarun #rachelshelley, is pitch perfect and delivers stellar performances! This authentic, heart-wrenching, and emotionally exhilarating digital masterpiece demands your undivided attention! My congratulations to @kans26 @officialcsfilms for creating such brilliant content, and to the entire team at @netflix_in for raising the bar… Watch #kohrra and immerse yourself in its silent noise…”
