I think it is safe to say that OTT shows (in Bengali or any any language) in the thriller genre will have a pretty hard time crossing the bar that 'Karagar' has set. It is because Karagar is perfect in almost every aspect. In viewing a series, usually four things are the most prominent for me - storyline, acting, cinematography, and music. It is safe to say that Karagar passed all of these tests with flying colors. Very little needs to be said about the story except for how well-knit it is. Believe me when I say that there is not - a - single - loose moment in the show - everything is a plot-point; and the story flows very smoothly, naturally. I have not seen such a well-constructed story, at least in Bengali OTT, for a long time. The acting is absolutely brilliant. I shall not talk much about Chanchal Chowdhury's acting; I had high hopes for him and he delivered as well. However, being sort of new to the Bangladeshi OTT demographic, I had little to no knowledge about the other actors/actresses, but all of their performances were totally top-notch. I literally cannot find any criticism. The cinematography and the music, so so well-executed, rivals that done by big budget productions, and in many instances even exceeds them. This is the first work I have seen of Shawki, and I have to say, he must be very very talented, to pull off something like this.
