Kanneda Twitter Review: Parmish Verma’s latest web series Kanneda has officially premiered on JioHotstar and social media is buzzing with reactions. The crime drama, set in 1990s Canada, follows the journey of a Punjabi immigrant who faces racism and hardships, using music as his outlet — only to find himself entangled in the dangerous world of gangs. With eight gripping episodes, the series is now available for streaming, and viewers haven’t held back on sharing their thoughts.
Twitter is filled with mixed reviews, reflecting both praise and criticism for the show and its performances. One user remarked, "@ParmishVerma I felt that your performance in the @JioHotstar web series #kanneda was over-the-top and lacked emotional depth. It's a common observation that some Punjabi singers who transition to acting struggle to convey emotions through facial expressions." This critique highlights an ongoing debate about singers crossing over into acting, questioning whether they can bring nuanced performances to the screen.

Story wobbles, but performances hook you. #Kanneda @ParmishVerma @JioHotstar." This praise acknowledges the immersive performances, even if the storyline has its shaky moments.

Good series at crime....@Mdzeeshanayyub 👍👍👍
On the flip side, some viewers were left unimpressed. One user bluntly shared, "#kanneda hey @JioHotstar it's a faceless web series," signalling disappointment in the show’s overall impact.
Despite the mixed opinions, a few voices found merit in the series' portrayal of crime and community struggles. "Watching the season 1 of #Kanneda on #JioHotstar ... Good series at crime.... @Mdzeeshanayyub," a user commented, acknowledging Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub’s performance specifically. It’s clear that 'Kanneda' has struck a chord — for better or worse — sparking lively discussion online.
