Synopsis :

The story follows a group of school children Sameera, Satyajit and Devraj, who live in Bardez, Goa. The inquisitive friends form a ghost club and decide to seek a ghost at an old haunted villa in their neighbourhood as their first mission. Their curiosity stems from an old story involving an old man who died writing a novel called The Ghost of Sultanpore. However, before the children are able to discover a ghost, a new family moves in and the legend of the villa resurfaces in frightening mode. The story revolves around the mystery behind the titular typewriter, which seems to harbor a grudge against those who try to remove it from the house. It is further complicated by the narrative of past occupants, with the story jumping between decades. Sudden deaths, past of Sultanpore and unnatural powers are also storylines of the webseries.

Review :

I always fancied having a typewriter. That is one of my reasons to chosen this Indian webseries. Now, I have to rethink about buying one for me . First 15 minutes into the series is enough to decide that this will be an amazing horror story.

“Bardez Villa” is a perfect choice to fuel-up our fright feelings. Whole cast and crew undoubtedly justify their roles. Background music score is top-notch.

Jenny coming back to her villa after so many years resurfaces the horror in that place . She comes to know about her past and also about her self. It’s an absolute bombshell for her (and also for us).

Sameera's boldness stands out from the crowd. Her curiosities leads the way to reveal the secret behind the “The Ghost of Sultanpore” novel. Her father Anand perfectly balances his role as father as well as Inspector. Their bond is what you desire in your life.

Flash back story is well grounded. There is no exaggeration in the story. This turns out to be one of the plus points. 

Overall, it’s a fresh story depicting the black magic in an outstanding way. It’s ending was in a way that most of the horror stories end - screaming for next season.

P.S. This webseries is not for the weak hearts.

I highly recommend this webseries to all the horror lovers out there.

Happy Watching!!!
