But, the game ends up bringing back chilling memories from five years ago, when it had ended in the disappearance of the household help at the bungalow, Bidhua (played by actor Ankita Chakraborty).
Such shows are called closed mysteries, wherein the protagonists are caught in one isolated location as one by one a mystic person starts creating havoc and in many cases, starts killing them all one by one. The amazing part of the screenplay is the scenes shot in the wilderness. Which brings a touch of terror and suspense to the entire activity. The Job of actors in this series is awesome as they display their frustrations with each other and with the situation, be it from unresolved past issues or the predicament they find themselves in.
You can sense an air of unpredictability throughout the show which keeps the pace consistent and the mood fresh. Show creators Rohan Ghose and Aritra Sen manage to make an atmospheric gripping show. Directed by Birsa Dasgupta and Produced by Eskay Movies, Mafia is a game of dishonesty. People close their eyes, someone gets killed in the game, and the others have a chance to find the Mafia and make it stop but that’s the game. I suggest you watch this thriller web series for sure.
