Watch it if you appreciate crime thrillers steeped in folklore and psychological depth, and don’t mind untangling a knotty narrative.

Overall the performances are a strength of the show. The actors create people who feel lived in, even when the events that surround them are strange. Some viewers may feel a few performances are underused because the story spreads attention over many roles. That is a creative choice that helps the plot feel large, but it also means no single actor carries the whole show.

Gopi Puthran (of Mardaani fame) and co-director Manan Rawat create a tense and gripping world of intrigue with layers that keep the viewers invested with the serial murders and mystery entangled in the cobweb of fate, extremism and prophecy. Puthran is a master of atmosphere and his astute storytelling skills lend Mandala its psychological depth and a striking core theme of conflict between Bhagwaan and Vigyan – science and faith.

Setting the plot in a fictional north Indian town makes the narrative atmosphere work well in the show’s favour and I have to applaud the makers for nailing the cinematography as well as the background score that adds value to the proceedings.
