There aren't many interesting web series available in Telugu. While some choose to take the easy route, others lack the empathy to deal with today's realities. However, Brinda by surya Manoj Vangala will make you consider the dangers of fanaticism, whether it is religious or not, without turning to sensationalism. This novel is driven by old superstitions, a rare bird, enigmatic killings, a cult, and a spine.
 

As a recently hired SI, Brinda (Trisha Krishnan) deals with misogyny at her police station during the day and nightmares at night. There is no escape from the snarky remarks of her younger sister at home or the resistance from supervisors at work. She investigates what at first glance appears to be a singular murder case against the request not to, only to find that it is actually far more diabolical. Even worse, she's finally discovering the answers she's been looking for for a very long time, but they're not what she had hoped for.
 

From the outset, surya makes it apparent that this is not the type of series you watch while half-focused on your phone and chewing on popcorn. You can tell the filmmaker isn't playing around when the first episode begins with an attempt at human sacrifice to appease irrational superstition. Everything appears to be as twisted and gloomy as the dead bodies Brinda finds as the story goes on. The eerie beginning score alone of Shakthi Kanth Karthick's music is quite enough to give it extra attention. However, the conclusion might have been much better.
 

Surya wrote Brinda, with language by Jay krishna and screenplay assistance from Padmavathi Malladi. You get the impression that you might have guessed part of what transpired after watching all eight episodes. You can't play Sherlock when everything is playing out because you're too absorbed. Even when significant character reveals are revealed towards the end of the series, you are not annoyed by them. It nearly seems as though Brinda is picking at a scab that she won't allow to heal in the process of solving the crime. Considering her history, it makes sense.
 

The show also makes viewers and players examine themselves. Two youngsters understand a series' central character's statement that they must leave the world a better place than when they found it differently. The series takes a strong stand on the current status of the globe without holding back. Both encouraging violence in the name of god and rationalizing your evil actions while condemning them are abhorrent; they are two sides of the same coin. It is highlighted in a situation when arson is mistaken for a holy act.

The series' story points don't always flow as surya planned. The equation that Brinda and her sister Chutki came up with is really noticeable. Chutki's teenage disobedience eventually starts to seem superfluous to the larger plot and even bothersome, especially considering how much more nuanced Brinda's relationship with her mother (Aamani) is. The conclusion is likewise unexpected and is tied up hurriedly. It is far less intriguing than anything that comes before it. Furthermore implausible is the cliché in which the main character assumes the persona of another person.
 

Although the show is primarily concerned with investigating several murders, surya does a fantastic job of giving his characters life. As the play goes on, Brinda's dark circles get bigger, so it's not shocking when her composed exterior breaks. The only person at her job who treats her like a human is her colleague Sarathi (Ravindra Vijay), who also has to struggle with family obligations and office politics. It works well for Inrajith Sukumaran to portray the aloof and enigmatic figure. A special thanks to anand Sami, who will make you laugh uncontrollably in certain parts and shiver in others. You can't stop laughing at his backstory.
 

Brinda is the type of show that holds your interest and is timely without being overly didactic. The story contains neither good nor evil for the sake of it. Even while you may not agree with some of the characters' terrible intentions, Surya's ability to make you understand them makes you uneasy. However, the message it conveys is topical, and it delicately handles trauma. It is therefore worthwhile to watch.
