Duranga

While investigating a gory copy-cat killing that follows the modus operandi of a 17 year old serial killing case, a Mumbai crime branch officer re-opens the spine-chilling case that had rocked a small coastal town near Mumbai, only to find out that there was an accomplice who was never nabbed. To her horror, that partner in crime could be her life partner, the doting father of her six-year-old daughter, her ‘perfect’ husband of 11 years.[7][8][9]

Duranga received mostly positive reviews from critics. Ruchi Kaushal of Hindustan Times wrote, "Creator Goldie Behl deserves a bow this time for the clarity with which he presents the intense, multi-climax drama.".[14] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave it 3 stars and concludes," it delivers a steady stream of twists and turns designed to keep you hooked from start to finish."[15] Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in wrote, "Once you accept Duranga’s premise – the son of a serial killer himself accused of murder who marries a police officer while on the run from the law – it’s easy enough to swallow everything that follows.".[16] Manisha Lakhe of Network18 remarked, "Zee 5 has hit the jackpot with this show. This could trigger a trend of production companies seeking K-dramas for remakes.".[17]

On the contrary, Lakshana N Palat of The Indian Express rated it low and wrote "Duranga misses each opportunity to craft a deeply moving, impactful and suspense-ridden show."[18]
