Streaming on Voot, Asur is a tale of a manslayer, starring Barun Sobti, Arshad Warsi, Ridhi Dogra, Anupriya Goenka, Sharib Hashmi, and Amey Wagh. The premise of the cat and mouse psycho thriller is capturing from the very beginning till the end.
Oni Sen has done a fantastic job with the direction as every episode starts with a teaser sequence and gets stuck on the dichotomy of good-versus-evil. In the era of ultra-heroism of the police, it seems original to determine a narrative that questions the very foundation of righteousness. The theme of the drama toys with the ground- Evil is human, evil is nature.
The story revolves around a psychopath killer with an unusual philosophy dyed-in-the-wool of Indian mythology, who is on the loose. Two forensic officers from the CBI are close on heals to reveal the serial murderer, but with a twist of fortune, they get caught in an exceedingly terrible situation. In the series, each persona and their interpersonal relationship is holistic.
To sum up, Asur is a Human story. It is all about impediments and skepticism, pain and loss, anger and non- recommendations, failure and turkey. After all, art reflects life, right?
