New release
Manoj Bajpayee and Konkana Sensharma starrer Killer Soup, a dark comedic thriller, released today on Netflix
The story
Swathi Shetty (Konkona) plans strategy to replace her husband, Prabhakar, with her lover, Umesh. Manoj plays double role here!
Title montage
The series originally was named as Soup, but was then called as Killer Soup. Every montage hints at the ‘killer’ element in episode
A slow run
Stretching for almost eight hours, the series is a bizarre trip for audience. The tale simply ends in the same place where it all began
Plot device
In Killer Soup, the plot device is Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost. An interesting poem to incorporate!
The drill
Swathi and Prabhakar are married. Swathi cheats on Prabhakar with Umesh, and in self defence Prabhakar is killed
The direction
Director Abhishek Chaubey attempts to show that whatever is happening around is more than what meets the eye
Bizarre plot
The constant crime leaves us wonder what is happening, while the rest on-screen population remains ignorant until called out
Well done Konkana
Konkana as Swathi adds depth to her role of being unapologetic about her wrongdoings. Manoj and her together are a treat!
Lack of depth
Too many characters and lack of depth did spoil the story. But there are moments that stand out in the first place
