The Hindustan Times review of the show read: “Duranga is thankfully a decent official adaptation of award-winning Korean series, Flower of Evil. Though it appears almost a scene-to-scene copy of the original, Duranga does leave an impact with the brilliant performances by its lead characters in the Indian setting.”

Duranga follows the story of a fugitive starting a new life in the garb of a family man with a different identity. Things become complicated when his police officer wife starts unearthing his past while investigating a series of murders. The show also stars Rajesh Khattar, Divya Sheth and Abhijit Khandkekar.
