Director : Goldie Behl

Gulshan Devaiah and Drashti Dhami’s new ZEE5 thriller series Duranga is seasonably an orthodox official adaptation of award-winning Korean Drama series, Flower of Evil.

Though a scene by scene adaptation of the original, Duranga leaves its audiences enthralled with de rigueur performances by its lead characters in the Indian localization.

The series is based on the story of a killer who is living under the guise of a perfect family man, husband and father. He cooks, cleans and sculpts at his workshop at home, while his wife is a police officer is trying to track him down. The two eventually try to hook wink each other in their own games.

Gulshan Devaiah is so good as Sammit Patel that you almost believe his character of a person who does not feel any empathy. While taking classes on how to smile on his phone, you see his character unfold with a deeping intensity.

Drashti ,swings between a broken-hearted woman who is also a wife, mother and a cop; swinging between the tussle of her professional and personal life.

WATCH TRAILER

Duranga abstains from experimentation and keeps as true to the award winning OG even in its localization. Goldie Behl keeps the audience hooked with a near perfect tempo to the screenplay without losing the conformity to Indianisms.

The well made nine episodes end in a hook for Season two just like in the original.

We cannot wait to watch Season 2.
