Kohrra is Netflix’s second Original Punjabi series (after the 2022 spy drama CAT). A groom from abroad arrives in a small Punjabi town for his arranged marriage but is murdered before the wedding. As the police hunt for a killer, the investigation takes a toll on the cops’ personal lives. The series is directed by Randeep Jha, who also directed four episodes of the Original Hindi series Trial by Fire. In an interesting Variety interview, series co-creator Sudip Sharma discussed the ways Indian censorship rules influenced the focus of Kohrra‘s story.
