Killer Soup Review: Manoj Bajpayee And Konkona Sensharma Starrer Is Tasty But Takes A Lot Of Time To Be Cooked

Killer Soup Review: Manoj Bajpayee and Konkona Sensharma are two of the most talented actors that we have in the industry. But, the surprising part is that till now, the two had not worked with each other. Now, for the first time, Manoj and Konkona have teamed up for a series titled Killer Soup which is directed by Abhishek Chaubey. When you have a series made by a filmmaker like Abhishek, starring Manoj and Konkona, the expectations from it are quite high. So, is Killer Soup worth a binge-watch? Find out in our review below...

Killer Soup is about Swathi (Konkona) who is living a happy life with her husband Prabhakar (Manoj Bajpayee). She dreams of having her own restaurant, and loves to cook paya soup. Now, a twist happens when a lookalike of Prabhakar, named Umesh, comes into the scene. Umesh and Swathi are having an affair, and Prabhakar comes to know about it. What happens next and how lives of Umesh, Prabhakar, and Swathi take a turn, forms the rest of the story...

The series is written by Abhishek Chaubey, Unaiza Merchant, Harshad Nalawade, and Anant Tripathi, and Chaubey has directed it. Now, when you decide to make an eight episode series where each episode is of around 45-50 minutes, you have to have the content that keeps the audiences hooked throughout. While Killer Soup starts (first episode) on an very interesting note, further it starts dipping a bit.

All the episodes end on a very intriguing note, making us curious to know what will happen in the next episode. The new episode also take a good start, but then the slow pace surely makes the taste of this series a bit sour, making us feel like 'let's use that 10 seconds forward mark, and reach at the end of the episode'.

Abhishek Chaubey is known for making thrillers with a touch of dark humour in it, and that's there in Killer Soup as well. There are a few scenes that will surely make you laugh, and the humour is actually something you look forward to watch more in the series.

As the series has ups and downs, it is Konkona Sensharma's brilliant performance that saves the downs. There's no doubt that Manoj Bajpyee is an excellent actor and once again he has performed fantastically in Killer Soup. But, this series belongs with Konkona; she has nailed it as Swathi. Even though her character has grey shades, you will root for Swathi as the actress has performed exceptionally.

While Manoj and Konkona take the lead, the series also has a very styrong supporting cast. Veteran actor Nassar has done a great job, Anula Navleker leaves a mark, Kani Kusruti is damn good, and Sayaji Shinde is excellent.

The music in the series is decent, and we love it whenever Tu Hi Re from the film Bombay starts playing in Killer Soup.

Overall, Killer Soup might not be the best series that you will watch this year, but it's not a bad one. You can surely taste it once especially for the mind-blowing performance of Konkona Sensharma.
