Rudra: The Edge Of Darkness: Ajay Devgn Performs Well But Story Misses Indianization

HT News

Rudra: The Edge of Darkness is in the news for two reasons, first, Ajay Devgn, and second, Indianized version of the British TV show Luther. While the first episode was well received by the audience, it will be too early to make an opinion on the web series.

Story

DCP Rudra Veer Singh (Ajay Devgn) in the Special Crime Unit of the Mumbai Police is the best mind at work, but he always remains on the radar of the department due to his style of working. Also, his obsession with the police job costs him dearly in terms of a troubled married life. But his job takes him closer to a child prodigy, Dr. Aliyah Choksi (Raashi Khanna) who’s herself a double murder suspect. But the two develop good chemistry.

Highlights Of The Series:

• The slow-burning chemistry of Ajay Devgn and Raashi Khanna is the heart of the crime-thriller
• It looks more western than the original series Luther
• The crime-thriller is made free from fancy cuts or special effects so the scenes move fast
• Satyadeep Mishra as a soft-spoken and unproblematic boyfriend of Devgn’s estranged wife looks good
• Among baddies, KC Shankar has portrayed the character of a blood-chugging superstar painter well
• Hemant Kher also looks good in a scary role

Reasons For Watching The Series:

• Ajay … Read the rest
