My approach is rooted in the belief that the mood, tempo, and tone of a scene should always reflect the soul of the narrative.

Another thing that caught my eye about ‘Murder In Mahim’ is the cinematography. The show aims to highlight the underbelly of Mumbai. It has done a good job of capturing the essence of Mahim. Add to it, the dark-themed colour grading adds to the tone of the series. Mahim almost feels like another character in the series and that elevates the visual appeal.
