Brown review: Karisma Kapoor is trapped in a cliche-ridden thriller | Web-series News

Published by Parlour News

3 min readJun 5, 2026 03:49 PM IST Brown review: Right from the beginning, Brown works hard at justifying it being named after its lead character. Rita Brown (Karisma Kapoor), a cop leading a murder investigation, is a workaholic– that she’s an alcoholic is part of it– who never takes her eyes off the ball, exhibiting the kind of single-minded obsession needed for a series like this to come alive. And in its first couple of episodes, this 7-episode show, which has been hanging fire for a while, does grab our attention. The killing is brutal and seems ritualistic, hinting at patterns adopted by serial killers. Rita Brown’s trusty deputy Arjun Sinha (Surya Sharma), while capable of taking orders from a woman, isn’t as happy taking care of his ageing dad (K K Raina), who is slowly losing his faculties. And Rita herself, forgetting to eat, but never to drink, keeps fobbing off her caring mother (Soni Razdan) and grandma (Helen) when it comes to their joint efforts of making her move on from a …

Actor Karisma Kapoor made her debut in 1991 with Prem Qaidi. Belonging to the prominent Kapoor family, Karisma had a lot riding on her shoulders, but an old interview from before her debut reveals that even as a teenager, Karisma was fully aware of the pressure and ready to take on the film industry. In one of the first interviews of her career, Karisma talked about the dynamics of the Kapoor family and how much of an impact her parents have on her life and career. She seemed quite determined to debunk people’s belief that women of the Kapoor family were not allowed to work and said, “I don’t know why everyone is under that illusion. It was their own choice. After all, my whole family is filled with actors, and my father and my uncle married heroines.” She added that not only are there no restrictions on women, but her father, Randhir Kapoor, actually pushed her to act. The Dil Toh Pagal Hai actor revealed that both her parents advise her on how to …

Abhinay Deo on his web show Brown going to Berlinale: Film festivals are feather in the cap, not cap itself | Web Series

Published by Webster

Abhinay Deo’s latest directorial, the web show Brown starring Karisma Kapoor, is all set to go to the Berlin International Film Festival, in the market select section. And the filmmaker says while such honours do add gravitas to a maker’s filmography, it’s not the whole and sole. “Berlinale, because of the kind of importance it holds in the festival circuit, definitely adds weight. Second, the honesty with which they run the festival, they choose the films from across the world and that certainly adds value to your filmography. Having said that, that does not define the filmmaker. What defines a filmmaker is what they create at the end of the day. It gets awarded, appreciated internationally or nationally, it’s a great thing. It adds a feather to the cap, but it’s not the cap itself,” he says matter-of-fact. Deo has in the past directed films such as Delhi Belly and Blackmail. Brown is his first web series. But when you mention this, he brings up another project he did with actor Anil Kapoor. “I did …
