Ayyana Mane offers an intriguing supernatural mystery set in a small-town ancestral home but falters due to dated, TV-style execution. Despite strong performances, the series struggles to fully capitalize on its promising premise
Still from Ayyana Mane
The Kannada film industry, after making a strong mark nationally with blockbuster films like KGF and Kantara, has now ventured into the web series arena with Ayyana Mane. Rooted deeply in the region’s cultural ethos, this debut series had all the ingredients for an engaging supernatural thriller. Unfortunately, despite its intriguing premise, the execution feels dated and reminiscent of early 2000s television dramas.
Set in the 1990s in Chikkamagaluru, Ayyana Mane tells the story of Jaaji (Kushee Ravi), a cheerful young woman who marries Dushyanta (Akshay Nayak) and moves into his ancestral home. The house, overseen by her strict mother-in-law Nagalambike (Manasi Sudhir), holds a sinister history that Jaaji is initially unaware of. On her first day itself, tragedy strikes as her father-in-law dies of a heart attack, leading some family members to view her as an ill omen. Soon, Jaaji discovers that the house is believed to be cursed, with previous daughters-in-law having met mysterious deaths. Determined to uncover the truth, she embarks on a journey to unravel whether the threat lurking in the shadows is human or supernatural.
