June 1, 2025: In the slow, rustling quiet of Goa’s backstreets, Kankhajura emerges not with a bang, but with an eerie stillness that unnerves you more than chaos ever could. Director Chandan Arora’s adaptation of the Israeli series Magpie trades high-octane for high tension, choosing emotional undercurrents over sensational twists. It’s an ambitious character study disguised as a crime thriller, and at its heart is Roshan Mathew, delivering one of his most disturbing and nuanced performances to date.

Ashu (Roshan Mathew), recently released after 14 years in prison, returns to find his brother Max (Mohit Raina) thriving in a world that no longer remembers him. Set in a murky, morally grey Goa, far from the tourist cliché, the show dives into Ashu’s attempt to reintegrate into Max’s world, which is now built on secrets, ambition, and uneasy alliances.

As Ashu floats on the edges of this new reality, Kankhajura morphs into a psychological labyrinth. You’re never sure whether to trust him, or fear him. That ambiguity becomes the show’s strongest currency.

Roshan Mathew is terrifyingly good. He crafts Ashu not as a villain or victim, but as a ghost, lingering, watching, never fully belonging. The stutter isn’t just a speech pattern; it’s a metaphor for how broken time and trauma have made him. This is a performance of subtlety and slow-burning rage.

Mohit Raina is equally compelling. He plays Max with a studied restraint, a man deeply uncomfortable with the return of a past he thought he’d buried. Their chemistry is not brotherly warmth, but combustible friction.

Special mention to Trinetra Haldar and Sarah Jane Dias, who bring soul and edge to characters that could’ve easily been one-note.

Unlike many thrillers that rely on shock value, Kankhajura chooses the psychological route. There are no unnecessary plot detours or melodramatic reveals, instead, it leans on emotion, memory, and unresolved pain. The cinematography makes excellent use of Goa’s underbelly, crafting mood with every dusky street and quiet alleyway.

That said, the series occasionally meanders in pacing. Some episodes linger longer than they should, and the central mystery isn’t as twist-heavy as fans of the genre might expect. But if you’re watching for character, tension, and atmosphere, you’re in for a treat.

Kankhajura isn’t here to thrill you with rapid-fire revelations. It’s here to haunt you. It’s about what happens when the past doesn’t knock but walks right through the front door. It’s less about crime, and more about consequences.

If you appreciate layered characters, morally complex storytelling, and standout performances — especially from Roshan Mathew; Kankhajura deserves a place on your watchlist.
