Web Series review: Dahaad streaming on Prime Video #Dahaad #sanjuzzreviews #PrimeVideo #sonakshisinha #GulshanDevaiah #SohumShah #primevideoindia

Anjali Bhaati ( Sonakshi Sinha) along with Gulshan Devaiah & Sohum Shah from Mandava police in Rajasthan investigate a series of deaths where women are found dead in public bathrooms. Prima facie, the deaths appear to be suicides, but as the investigation progresses, Bhaati realises that there's a serial killer on the loose.

There is no suspense here as we come to know the identity of the killer in the first episode itself. However it is the cat and mouse game between the killer and the police which makes this an extremely interesting watch.

Another aspect that will send a chill down your spine is the fact that the killer is a respectable family man, a sweet talker, handsome who blends in the society very easily and can effortlessly hide in plain sight. Somewhat like a Ted Bundy, Charles Shobhraj or a Hannibal Lector.

Vijay Verma as the antagonist is just brilliant... A cunning & ruthless killer hiding behind the garb of respectability is the highlight of this story.

Sonakshi, Deviah and Sohum Shah too have delivered exceptional performances . The rustic ambience of India's rural hinterland has been well captured. The pain and frustration of the investigation team and their personal struggles have also been very well showcased without interrupting the narrative in any way.

I enjoyed it... absolutely brilliant indeed!! A bit dark and can really get to you !! If you've liked Patal Lok then this series will be the one to go in for this weekend!!

Going with 4/5 for this .. Adios🙂!!
