Karan Tacker leads the Amazon MX Player series Bhay about paranormal investigator Gaurav Tiwari, and critics say his understated acting carries the whole thing. The show ditches cheap jump scares for slow-burn psychological tension that builds through lighting and silence instead of typical Bollywood horror gimmicks. Kalki Koechlin, Saloni Batra, and Danish Sood round out the cast with solid backup performances.
Director Robbie Grewal apparently handled the real-life subject matter without losing entertainment value, and the technical crew nailed the creepy atmosphere through smart camera work and restrained sound design. Reviewers think the methodical investigation approach works even for people who think ghost hunting is nonsense.
The series dropped on streaming and got four stars for treating Indian paranormal content differently than most productions attempt.
