The Hindi web series has its basics firmly in place. The story/screenplay by Gaurav Shukla is fast-paced and relentlessly entertaining. The dialogues are, for the most part, smartly written and on point (sounding forced only at a couple of places, where it seems they were a touch too eager to include the wordasur ). The direction, by Oni Sen, is quietly competent and never screams for attention, which (as Ram Gopal Varma has demonstrated in the last 10 years) can be jarring in a high-intensity thriller.
Long after the action-thriller hijinks are forgotten, viewers will remember the thoughtfully crafted mythology aroundAsur . It follows a critical reading of Hindu texts. In this reading,asurs are neither demons nor the mortal enemies of the gods.
