The whole idea of a black ‘comedy’ is that it is meant to be funny, and that it makes you chortle, despite yourself, but here I kept waiting for the laughs. I also kept waiting for shockers. Go to Full Review

Manoj Bajpayee and Konkona Sensharma star in this confusing and predictable thriller that won't be most people's cup of tea. Go to Full Review

One way of looking at Killer Soup is marvelling at the concoction of the journey the filmmaker has painstakingly crafted. The other way of looking at this story of control and revenge is to view it as a revisitation of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Go to Full Review

Abhishek Chaubey’s black comedy series is stocked with ancillary pleasures and quirky performances... Go to Full Review
Nandini Ramnath Scroll.in 01/12/2024
Many inspired scenes, including a terrific climax that re-centres the narrative on its twinned themes of love and payback. There are enough sedate moments to absorb the excellent character sketches, wicked humour, and top-notch players. Go to Full Review

Combining intrigue and humour with the right spice, Konkona Sen Sharma & Manoj Bajpayee’s Killer Soup is just what the viewers will want for the cold month of January. Go to Full Review

Sayani R 06/16/2024 All good actors crammed in a story with no concrete plot! Had high hopes.. but ended up in sheer waste of time. Bland soup! See more un f 03/18/2024 I've watched many Indian movies but I admit that this series looked fake from the first episode. The choking scene was not smooth and the heroine's skin was terrible. Everything seemed unbelievable. Not very creative, waste of time See more Monika N 02/13/2024 Very exciting story after a long time.. excellent plot twists and keeps you glued.. mind blowing thriller and very good direction and acting See more Jithin K 01/18/2024 Abhishek Chaubey directing such a stacked cast with an amazing trailer, I was very excited about this. But the first few episodes really felt like it was dragging too much. The plot was dark and quirky with interesting characters but they wanted to make it reach the eight-episode mark when it would've been fine with five episodes. From the fifth episode onwards it was much better. The acting is fantastic all around. Konkona and Manoj really did great as expected of them. Watching amazing actors from Hindi, Tamil and Malayalam together was great. But among all the familiar faces the one I haven't seen much before and really impressed me was Anula Navlekar. I don't know if she has other notable roles but if there is I'd be really interested to watch it. If the series had been more tightly packed, I could have been impressed with the production design, cinematography etc. But even a lot of the supposed dark comedy wasn't always landing. They also faltered at the ending, as it should have been either a bit more ambiguous or took the exact opposite thing that could be expected from it. Despite all those issues, the performances were really carrying the series and I quite enjoyed the whole thing even if it was overall just an okay show. See more Prabhathalovesmovies 01/16/2024 Abhishek Chaubey has cooked a delicious meal with an ode to the works of both William Shakespeare and Virginia Wolf. Both Konkana Sen Sharma and Manoj Baypayee are absolutely together and individually. Nassar as the cop on the verge of retirement brought a lot of integrity to his scenes. His interactions with the ghost of a private detective in Hamlet style raises lot of chuckles. On the surface the scenarios are bizarre but they are equally funny too. See more Read all reviews
