Set in a small town in Punjab, Kohrra (Mist), a six part web series, is, at its surface level, a slow burn investigation into the mysterious murder of a young NRI man shortly before his marriage.
What makes it exceptional is the way it constructs its universe of characters - all flawed in some measure - and succeeds in taking a deep dive into their lives scarred with deep-seated traumatic episodes and struggles set against the wider landscape of today's Punjab with its issues like addiction, feudal and patriarchal society, and much more.
The emotions are affective even as the mystery builds on the viewers - engrossing us like a winter's mist that shrouds an entire city, gradually in the beginning and building steadily to engulf it entirely.
Excellent casting who deliver in aces and fine writing which builds in several layers make this one of the best series in recent times.
A MUST WATCH !
RATING - 4/5
PS - Streaming on Netflix
