Karan continued, ‘This brilliantly written show is a master class in character development and the balance of that with intrigue … a tightrope that #sudipsharma #gunjitchopra #diggisissodia walk without a false note … brilliance … 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…. The ensemble @itsharleensethi @chaudhari_manish @badolavarun #rachelshelley are pitch perfect and so good! This authentic heartbreaking and yet emotionally thrilling digital masterpiece needs all your time and attention !

My congratulations to @kans26 @officialcsfilms for creating such brilliant content and to the entire family at @netflix_in for raising the bar…. Watch #kohrra and absorb its silent noise….’
Hansal Mehta also tweeted about Kohrra.

‘Pet themes from Paatal Lok and Udta Punjab show up in different ways in the quite spectacular Kohrra on @NetflixIndia. Cop buddies, drugs, crime and so many fucked up people inhabit a haunting world set somewhere in Punjab. Some terrific performances by @Suvinder_Vicky and @BarunSobtiSays. In fact most of the ensemble is so well cast and does really well. Well written, excellently directed and unabashedly authentic this is Indian storytelling at its best. Kudos Sudip Sharma, Gunjit, Diggy and Randeep Jha.

Terrific work on editing and sound design. The moody yet unobtrusive cinematography is more than effective. Terrific work guys. Take a bow. #KohrraOnNetflix,’ he wrote.

‘Kohrra’ stars Suvinder Vicky, Barun Sobti, Harleen Sethi and ‘Lagaan's Rachel Shelley.
