Latest Reviews & Buzz for
Social (2017)

Set in Hyderabad, the 13-episode series is a story about four diverse individuals who come together to solve the mystery of a missing girl. The show hopes to make people aware of the reality of cyber crimes and how the internet can also become a saviour. Directed by Shashi Sudigala, the series also features Naveen Kasturia, Priya Banerjee, Aradhana Uppal, Abdul Razzaq, Moin Khan and Preeti Asrani in key roles.
Presented by Rana Daggubati, this bilingual fiction digital series is being shot in Hindi and Telugu simultaneously. It’s great to see stars like Rana Daggubati encouraging digital platforms and making content only for that, while also starring in it. Social has an interesting story to boast of – a mystery thriller that also highlights the dark side of technology. But like what Rana’s character says at the beginning of the first episode, it’s not the technology, but the humans who are responsible for bringing out its dark side. The suspense works throughout the episodes, and we are really curious to know as to what happened to Veda. There are also some social judgments thrown inbetween. The scene where Prithvi hacks into the police website is also interesting. All the main leads are quite adept in their roles.
On a final note, if you are watching Social for Rana then you might be disappointed for the show is not centred around his character and neither is he the protagonist. He is there in it for sure, but not as much as you want him to be.
When it comes to suspense-building, Social has all the right ingredients for a really good mystery show and can hook you with its plot. Also don’t expect too much of Mr Daggubati in there!
