About the Author

Sunil Garodia Holding an extreme view and carting the ball out of the park is what interests him most. He is a hard hitter at all times. Fasten your seatbelts and read.

A murder happens in a high-rise complex in Mumbai. The opening scenes grab viewer attention in a jiffy. They are left wondering why a "double PhD" professor would murder his neighbor. But as people living in the society are introduced to the viewer and the police start their investigation, the viewer is left wondering how Mr Raj Kapoor died? Was it due to the poison administered in a coconut by Prof Ahuja as seen by them or was it something else? Sadly, though, the intrigue and the buildup are wasted as the makers weave in too many unrelated sequences.

The professor and his wife are always on the edge as they are scared. But the professor takes an evil pleasure in Kapoor's death as he had too many issues with him. The viewer is led to believe that it is Ahuja who has really killed Kapoor. But when police discover evidence that links Sonu Singh, another resident, to the murder, things become interesting. But the storyline is so thin that interviews by the society committee and an election for the chairman are thrown in. Also the scenes of interrogation of Kapoor's house help and the security guard are stretched way beyond decent limits. So is the part where Sonu takes a resident to hospital and stays put there. This takes a lot away from the murder mystery.

Mukul Chaddha as Ahuja is good and Sunil Grover as Sonu is competent in the given role. Ranvir Sheroy and Girish Kulkarni as the police officers are also good. The rest of the cast play their roles well but Ashish Vidyarthi as Dilip Iyer is wasted. The series could have done with better writing and editing and could have fitted in 6 episodes instead of 8. Since the mystery has not been solved in this season, a second season is in the offing. The makers should keep it crisp to make it interesting for the viewer.
