Analysis

One of the things it works for Vadhuvu is the short duration of its episodes. Each episode is just over 20 minutes. As a result, the audience does not feel restless even when things stagnate.

As mentioned above, heroes Vadhuvu They are mysterious and it works for the series, at least initially. As viewers, you know something strange is going on and it makes you wonder what might be behind it.

In the technical department, the background score deserves some mention. It’s suitably creepy and adds to the tense atmosphere.

The cameraman doesn’t have much opportunity to show his work here because the series has an indoor setting. Still, the cinematography is pretty good.

performances

When it comes to acting, the trio of Avika Gore, Ali Reza and Nandu do the heavy lifting. Avika Gore captures the confusion of the Hindu well.

Ali Reza gets a lot of screen time as Indu’s son-in-law, Arya. He successfully shows the gray shades of his role.

Nandu as Indu’s husband is a delight to watch as he expertly conveys Anand’s frustration and suspicious nature.

The rest of the cast leaves little impact.

the main issue Vadhuvu There is some repetition and slow pace to the process. There are some unnecessary scenes that the director could have easily removed.

Also, the web show leaves you with more questions than answers. There are too many cliffhangers, which are the main deterrent to the viewer’s enjoyment.

final acceptance

Vadhuvu is a watch-only web series.

The enigmatic characters and the performances of the central trio leave an impact. It’s not a solid thriller, though.
