Choona is a comedy crime drama thriller series directed by pushpendra nath misra.

The acting performances consists of a varying range. Jimmy shergill embodies the cunning, money-hungry politician beautifully. You develop genuine disgust for the character through the running time. Namit das, chandan roy, atul srivastava all give good performances. But ashim gulati, and gyanendra tripathi fail to impress the viewers. They possess too much wayward energy which isn't good for the series.

Now comes the revenge arcs of the characters. The arcs of pandit ji, bishnu, JP yadav, were genuine arcs which imbibe some sympathy. But the arcs of ansari and baankey were unconvincing. Ansari himself is a small time goon, who wants to be a big time good/politician. How can that be a revenge arc's tipping point. Baankey's arc justifies casual police brutality and the ignorance around it. So, police can do whatever they want and normal citizens can only suffer? (Though in this case, shukla is a cunning politician), but rhe point still holds. The screenplay is a hit and a miss. The first few episodes are quite flat and uninteresting. The scenes are stretched beyond eternity. Its inly when the plan ensues that the series picks up its engaging pace. The background music is mid, sometimes running without a point. Arshad warsi's voiceover in every scene is unnecessary and irritating. This shows the lack of confidence of the creator in its audience, that he needs a spoonfeeding vessel. The dialogues are decent enough.
