Karan Johar Praises Ali Fazal-Led Crime Thriller Series Raakh

Karan Johar shared a long note expressing how profoundly the series impacted him emotionally. He wrote, “I was trying to take time off from the gram… I thought I was successful till I saw this gut wrenching series and felt the need to express myself..it’s 1.35 am and I am deeply disturbed after watching the last episode…Disturbed as a parent, as a human being, and as a member of society…The ugliest side of humanity is what RAAKΗ explores…. No justification or childhood trauma is reason enough to succumb to an inner devil…I am not sure I will recover soon from this trauma binge….But what I need to applaud is Prosit Roys incredible story telling, strong hold and non manipulative approach of emotional depiction and a special chefs kiss to his undeniable craft..BUT what I can’t get out of my head are the career defining performances of @iamsonalibendre and @bashiraamir.”
