Karanvir Malhotra Humbled by Positive Reviews for Supernatural Thriller 'Andhera'

Amazon Prime Video's latest offering, the supernatural horror series Andhera, has started streaming to overwhelmingly positive reviews from both critics and audiences. The show, which stars an impressive ensemble cast including Karanvir Malhotra, Prajakta Koli, Priya Bapat, and Surveen Chawla, is being hailed as a refreshing and intelligent take on the horror genre.

While the entire cast delivers gritty performances, it is Karanvir Malhotra who is earning special praise for his portrayal of Jay. He hits it out of the park, bringing a compelling mix of intrigue and a constant sense of suspense that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.

A New Kind of Horror: Dread Over Jump Scares

Instead of relying on cheap jump scares, the series weaves a sustained sense of horror and a creeping dread that slowly gets under your skin. This psychological tension is what sets it apart and has resulted in a fantastic reception.
