Asur
In a strange but cryptic way, Asur gives us glimpses of a beautiful portrayal of a well-executed murder mystery on the lines of Hindu Mythology, Forensics, and Philosophy. But after its release, we have got a fairly balanced review of what we could expect from it and what we might view mainly as an issue in connecting it with the Hindu Mythology and giving more importance to intuition than logic.
Additionally, critics did have issues with the emphasis given on the intuition aspect compared to Sacred Games. But all this doesn't necessarily mean that it isn't worth watching this fantastic series. Although it has several connections towards several themes, it's outstanding cast leaves everyone wondering. As stated earlier, this blog's real motto was to highlight the brilliance of characters who have got this excellent opportunity through the OTT platforms.
A tempting series with the brilliance of characters makes this a must-watch for all the people who binge-watch. From the very start, we know the antagonist's importance and his relevance to his past in becoming a god-like figure, Asur. A brilliant boy raised in a dark world by his father, and his terrible circumstances make him kill his father without displaying emotions or empathy. Quite strange of an Indian not showing affection towards his father. Yet, another new aspect of the series.
In contrast, the brutality combined with unknown figures' killings lands two forensic officers on a mission to save people from this Asur. Dhananjay Rajpoot and Nikhil Nair, two magnificent characters of this thriller, are forensic experts. At the same time, one is the head of a team; the other is a professor at the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) training institute. After getting coordinates from an unknown stranger on his phone, Nikhil decides to leave for India and help the team solve this mystery. Here is how it starts!
One of the exciting aspects of the series is the writer's emphasis on female characters who play a vital role in shaping the story. Naina, a techie, and Nusrat, whose part of the team, help Dhananjay support him and Nikhil in the series. Nusrat's love for Nikhil and Nikhil's never-ending affection towards his daughter, and Naina's worry for Nikhil, emphasizes themes like family and friends' importance. It's these two characters whose significance can't be reduced or might have been overshadowed by Dhananjay and Nikhil's sterling performances, but they play a significant role in shaping Nikhil's thoughts. Nikhil is mostly in a dilemma when choosing one side as his wife points out that he is always in two places. Plus, he is also stuck when it comes to choosing his wife or murdering someone. Nikhil's brilliance is proved time and time again when he goes to committing perfection in the crimes he is forced to commit. This majorly provides us with the roles of characters in this long series.
An overwhelming response, a glimpse of sheer brilliance, and an exceptional cast makes this our top 10 series to watch out for. A golden opportunity and perhaps a merrier comeback for Arshad Warsi in the form of a protagonist combined with lots of mystery is something that makes us fall in love with yet another brilliant series.
