Candy teaser: Ronit Roy, Richa Chadha try unmasking a killer hidden in the mountains

Crime thrillers with a lot of gore have found a haven in over-the-top (OTT) platforms. The latest to join the bandwagon is Voot Select’s upcoming web-series Candy. Directed by Ashish R Shukla, it stars Ronit Roy, Richa Chadha, Manu Rishi Chadha, Gopal Datt Tiwari, Nakul Roshan Sahdev and Riddhi Kumar. 

The teaser of the show, which has just been released, doesn’t give much away. It seems the story is set in a hill station where a serial killer is on the loose. The killer is obsessed with candies. Roy and Chadha’s characters are seen trying hard to solve the mystery. 

The purpose of a teaser is to give potential viewers a slight idea about the show and generate anticipation for the trailer. But in the case of Candy, the teaser tries to be a trailer and ends up including a large number of incidents in a limited duration, which is unsettling for the viewer. 

Candy also brings to mind a few other thrillers set in the same or similar setting. It instantly reminds you of the recent OTT movie Collar Bomb, which was shot in the same locations in and around Nainital.

Watch the teaser and let us know if you would be keen to watch the show.
