The setting is semi-fictional, with veiled nods to real-world politics. It opens with the ruthless urban development minister of the Swachh Samaj party, Avinash Shukla (Jimmy Shergill), scheming to overthrow the government.
all of whom were ruined by Avinash in the past – join forces and set out to take revenge, driven by personal vendetta rather than anti-establishment rage.
Choona aspires to be the kind of scatterbrained series that thrives on chaos. The unfocused storytelling – where every arc jostles for space and attention – is supposed to be the point.
Choona begins to resemble a two-hour heist comedy stretched into a cluttered eight-episode drama. It's like watching a sprinter pretending to have the legs for a marathon. So they flap about, using diversion tactics to justify the length of the race.
Is its cultural blindness. You can sense the fear in its design. The city and regions are unnamed. The series exists in isolation, in an apolitical bubble, where terms like religion and communal tensions are avoided.
