Candy Web Series Review And Download
Candy begins as a whodunnit with a sprinkle of fantasy and ends up turning into a psychological thriller.
The show set in Rudrakund follows a corrupt cop as she is uncovering the murder of a high school student, while another goes missing.
On the other hand a professor convinced that there is more to the crime than meets the eye begins his own investigation.
The series starts with the murder of Mehul Awasthi whose body was found hoisted on a tree.
The whole town is convinced the murder was the doing of a mystical creature called Massaand.
Soon enough it is uncovered that another classmate Kalki Rawat has gone missing. Female DSP Ratna Sankhawar has several leads on the case including the drugs racket in the town but being in on the racket herself she dismisses the lead.
A non believer of the mystical creature called Massaand, Ratna holds Kalki father responsible for Mehul death.
Meanwhile Jayant Parekh their teacher and mentor follows in on the drugs trial and finds that Mehul was investigating the source of drugs aka candy right before his death.
The eight episode series keeps you hooked with several twists and turns.
The makers have also managed to present several well rounded characters and their own storylines leading to the end that all come together.
In the centre are two leading characters Jayant a professor who feels for his students after losing his daughter to drugs and Ratna a guilt filled cop who had a difficult past and a child with Down Syndrome to take care of.
The show begins at a slow pace opening up several subplots like the mystery around the creature an increasing body count the corruption gang rivalry in the town and the drugs racket.
But it wraps up rather hastily trying to explain all the side stories.
While the first three episodes will keep you hooked the plot turns predictable in the second half but remains engaging.
Unfortunately the last two episodes are just the antagonists explaining their own plot details and backstories one after the other.
Richa Chadha as Ratna has a softer touch as a cop but a powerful contribution to the story.
However the real hero of the show is Ronit Roy who takes on most of the load and drives the story forward.
Riddhi Kumar as Kalki and Nakul Roshan Sahdev as Vayu are some pleasant surprises in the cast.
True to their characters they drive their emotions evoking pity hatred even disgust from the audience.
