Karan penned a heartfelt note, praising the director, actors, and the intriguing plot of the movie.

Karan wrote, “Sometimes the fog never lifts and leaves everything gloomy and even dark… much like the human personality … #Kohrrra the latest @netflix_in drop is arguably the best series I have seen since #trialbyfire ( both directed by the brilliant breakthrough filmmaker @randeepjha) what starts off as a murder procedural goes onto scratch the surface of parental patriarchy and entitlement, the psychology of a disturbed childhood, a woman’s right to passion and compassion and dealing with your inner demons.”

He said that the show was brilliantly written and added that he was blown away by the performances. He added, “I was blown away by the performances @suvindervicky is and will be the revelation of 2023 across film and streaming … his silences can launch a million scripts ! @barunsobti_says is outstanding …. Shuttling between machismo and vulnerability he nails the part with veteran ease.” He also praised Harleen Sethi, Rachel and Varun Badola and called the show a masterpiece.
