Netflix is here to stay. They are making shows in India exclusively for their channel. They are riding the success wave with the recently released Sacred Games. To take the thrill one step further, they have come up with a horror series – Ghoul. The 3 part series stars Radhika Apte and Manav Kaul.
Ghoul is going to premiere In India today, 24th August 2018, on Netflix.
We were invited to a special media preview of Ghoul on 23rd August at DLF Place, Saket. Djinns are in these days… From Disney Aladdin’s stage version to this year’s early release Pari, we keep hearing references to djinns now and then. The new Netflix series also talks about a djinn – Ghoul. While we ain’t spilling more beans and spoiling it for you, all we can say from the media preview is that it is a great watch. Full of thrills, horror, gory bloodbath, action, and whatnot, the show is very engaging. Perfect binge-watch material for all couch potatoes.
The screening of the movie was followed by interaction with the cast and crew including director Patrick Graham, producer Vikramaditya Motwane, and actors Radhika Apte and Manav Kaul. The discussion was moderated by Mayank Shekhar of the Jagran Film Festival. Interestingly Radhika Apte seems to be an in-house actress for Netflix films and series. From Lust Stories to Sacred Games to Ghoul, the talented actress has come a long way. The session ended with a Q&A session with the media. Everybody seemed excited about the show.
As for us, television is not our habit. But we opted for a Netflix subscription and are already hooked on to it. The preview of Ghoul was very edge-of-the-seat and we are most definitely going to follow this series. Let us know if you watched it and what did you think.
Thanks for the rewiew and glad to learn a little background of this movie. The stars certainly look attractive.
I love horror films/series! Can check it out if we have it in my netflix region.
Well not much interested in horror film or series. Even though, I have the seen the trailer, it looks promising and looks a fresh change in horror genre.
I will skip this as I am not interested in Horror Shows. If you have seen once, then there is no point in seeing again as you can see what will be the next. But trailer looks promising.
I don’t have much interest in horror shows, but I do love Netflix. It is the only form of tv we have in our home.
I do not usually watch horror shows or films but this does sound interesting. Thank you for the review. I might check it out after I am done binging The Last Kingdom
I love Netflix, it is so easy to find movies that I would have never heard of to watch! Although a horror movie is not my ideal type of movie, thank you for the background on it! Seems interesting!
I didn’t know, there was some Indian horror series starting. Would definitely check it out. Thanks for the info.
I’ve never watched any Indian horror series! I think it would be pretty exciting and something totally new to me. Can’t wait to check it out. 🙂
Oh my gosh no no no I can’t watch horror LOL!! Seriously, I’m such a scaredy cat!! BUT I’m a huge Netflix addict, love all the original movies and TV shows they’ve been coming out with!
