Direction and Writing
This web series of 6 episodes directed by Sahil Sangha directly touches the heart. The new twist in the story in every episode keeps the series tied. The wavering of the intentions of the parents in the fight to give justice to their child, their confusion and their moral weakness have been presented by the director in front of the audience with great precision. Karan Sharma’s screen play and dialogues transform this drama into the best web series. Although at some places this story definitely wanders a bit, but the next moment the new twist in the story increases your excitement.
Cases like sexual harassment, molestation towards minor children are increasing day by day. Not only girls but boys are also falling prey to this heinous act. It was a responsibility to write and narrate a story on such an incident and Sahil Sangha has directed the entire story with utmost care in a sensitive manner, which does not detract from the main issue at all.

acting
Mona Singh and Sharman Joshi impress as parents. Both of them are remembered in the role of parents entangled in this dilemma of getting justice for their children or giving them a good life. Vivan Bhatena is seen in this series in the role of Vikram Bajaj, who is a superstar to the outside world but in reality he is just one. Vivaan’s acting is also commendable in this series because you will hate him on seeing him.
The main face of this web series is child actor Mikhail Gandhi, who is seen in the role of Sunny Vashisht. The acting of this child, who is a victim of the misdeeds of a superstar, makes you emotional. Zarina Wahab, Preeti Jhangiani, Mukesh Chhabra are giving justice to their character.
Cinematography and Music
Anubhav Bansal’s cinematography beautifully shows the audience from the elite lifestyle of Mumbai to the life of a common man through the lens of his camera. Editing by Sherwin Bernard and Anshul Sharma makes the series effective. Pranay has put his life in the background score.
Why watch this web series
Kafus can be watched for an impressive theme and brilliant acting by the cast. This story is original and different from the rest of the series. This story based on the topic of child molestation will inspire you to be aware of the incidents happening around you.
what are the flaws
The past of Raghav and Seema Vashisht tries to distract the story by clashing between Raghav’s two wives. Despite interesting acting, Mona Basu’s character seems like a headless angle. If information about POCSO was given in this series, then this film would have become more effective.
