Sunflower web series storyline/Plot
Sunflower Review: The official synopsis of the series reads “Sunflower is a housing society with its fair share of comedic characters. But none more hair-brained and awkward than simpleton Sonu.
He dives headlong into the center of a murder investigation of a society resident, and in no time manages to become the chief suspect. Around him, the real murderers, a resident couple in Sunflower itself, tread cautiously.
Will they get away as Sonu keeps digging his own grave?
As the investigation escalates, the hypocritical society members worry about their beloved society losing its good old glory. But the problem is the next generation’s ways are neither good nor old.
Between Sonu tightening the noose around his neck, the murderers living on the edge, and the society trying to uplift its society’s values, Sunflower is a quirky murder mystery in a comedy of errors.”
Sunflower is a crime thriller dark comedy with a really simple plot. The story follows a murder in a society where Sunil Grover is the prime suspect.
But the most interesting thing about Sunflower is that they will tell you who the killer is from the first scene itself. It is not a spoiler or anything, the story is built in this way only.
The show starts with the scene of the murder. So, you will know who the murderer is from the first scene itself. And after that, the police get involved, and every society member gets involved.
It creates so much confusion and the way they have to imbed comedy in that confusion is just class apart.
Sunflower Cast & Crew

| Ranveer Shorey | Inspector Digendra |
Sunflower Web series Review: Sunil Grover is a treasure and should be saved at any cost. He plays the role of Sonu Singh and he is one of the most interesting characters.
Sonu Singh has OCD and deals with so many issues in such a calm manner. But, he is not a one-dimensional character. He has many shades and Sunil Grover has played every shade brilliantly.
You will laugh with him, cry with him and more importantly feel for him. He carried the show on his back and made it look effortless.
Other cast members also did their job amazingly well. It was a delight to see Ranveer Shori on the screen again. Hoping that he comes in more shows now.
Other cast members like Mukul Chadda, Ashwin Kaushal, and Girish Kulkarni are already established, actors. And they showed how good they really are.
Another cast member that impressed me was Radha Bhatt. She has a very innocent character and looked beautiful throughout the show. Her character will really win over your heart.
