Cop buddies, drugs, crime and so many fucked up people inhabit a haunting world set somewhere in Punjab. Some terrific performances by @Suvinder_Vicky and @BarunSobtiSays. In fact most of the ensemble is so well cast and does really well. Well written, excellently directed and unabashedly authentic this is Indian storytelling at its best. Kudos Sudip Sharma, Gunjit, Diggy and Randeep Jha. Terrific work on editing and sound design. The moody yet unobtrusive cinematography is more than effective. Terrific work guys. Take a bow. #KohrraOnNetflix”.
