Dahaad

Story: This eight-part series follows Sub-inspector Anjali Bhaati as she investigates a string of inexplicable deaths in public restrooms in Mandawa, Rajasthan. Initially appearing to be suicides, a chain of homicides, one after the other, directs their investigation toward a pattern in the fatalities, raising the possibility that a serial murderer is on the loose. But what is the truth, and who, after all, started it all? Thus, begins an enthralling game of cat-and-mouse that will keep you hooked. Review: Dahaad (meaning roar) begins with a disturbing scene in which a young woman dressed in shaadi ka joda (wedding attire) is discovered dead in a public restroom. At first, the death appears to be a suicide, but as the number of missing women in Mandawa and the neighbouring parts of Rajasthan increases, the investigating officers—Sub-inspector Anjali Bhaati (Sonakshi Sinha), SHO Devi Prasad Singh (Gulshan Devaiah), and Inspector Kailash Parghi (Sohum Shah)—become suspicious that a serial killer is on the loose. Their investigation leads them to Anand Sawnakar (Vijay Varma), a seemingly innocuous man who teaches Hindi literature at a girls’ school. But the question is whether he is capable of such a heinous act. If so, what is the reason? If not, who is the actual perpetrator? What follows is a riveting cat-and-mouse chase between a seasoned criminal and an underdog officer, as Bhaati seeks evidence before another innocent woman loses her life. Created by Reema Kagti and Zoy...

However, everything changes when Bhaati finds a common thread connecting all cases, leading her to suspect a serial killer may be on the loose. This revelation shifts her attention from unexplained disappearances to a well-planned and calculated scheme. Anjali, in her thirties, rebels against the traditional background of her village, making it difficult for her mother to find a suitable marriage proposal.

In the other case, inter-caste love blossoms between a village figure's daughter and a Muslim boy. Anjali helps the boy escape and focuses on the other case.

Dahaad gets going with a sequence of almost unbearable political import. A harried-looking man comes to the Mandawa police station enquiring about his missing sister. The cops—male and upper-caste, except for sub-inspector Anjali Bhaati (Sonakshi Sinha)—ignore his pleas, saying the girl had eloped of her own accord and there isn’t much they can do. Outside, the man encounters a crowd agitating against entrapment and religious conversions. Joining their ranks, he lies that a Muslim took off with his sister. And just like that, the case is escalated and an investigation commenced. Dahaad, on Prime Video, isn’t telling the Rajasthan story. It’s telling the India story, where real and complex crimes against women jostle for attention with false alarms and politically-motivated fearmongering. Created by Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti, the series walks a razor’s edge between depicting the plight of its victims and damning the right of consenting adults to do as they please. There is an obvious villain—a serial killer who lures unsuspecting women online—yet the makers constantly point to a society that enables the exploitation of young girls in the name of ‘protecting’ them. Sonakshi Sinha and Vijay Varma on their ‘jugalbandhi’ in ‘Dahaad’ “Twenty-five years in the service and not a trifling,” grumbles Anjali’s higher-up. “And in one year you’ve landed a serial killer?” That much she has. Across Rajasthan, over a long period of time, 27 women have been found dead in public washrooms...

The mainstream cinematic obsession with overtly stylish, muscular, and vengeful policemen has seen an unlikely growth in the past decade. Who would know this better than Dahaad is currently streaming on Prime Video. It is not the needless rowdiness that takes precedence here as Bhaati goes about her work as an inspector in a room full of male police officers. The focus remains on the matter-of-fact attitude that Bhaati- irrespective of her gender, and caste position--has to go on with her responsibilities. Dahaad, the new series created by Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti, fixes its gaze squarely on a small town named Mandwa in Rajasthan. Missing complaints of women in particular are commonplace, with the increasingly volatile situations that occur due to caste-based and love-jihad labels. The first two episodes of Dahaad find itself unable to move past this web of chaotic socio-cultural perils, and in the mix, is only able to build the characters that would take the lead from hereon. A mystery unfolds Bhaati here works with chief Devi Laal Singh (Gulshan Devaiah), and another sub-inspector Kailash Parghi (Sohum Shah). In the midst of this resurfaces the missing girl complaint that was reported almost two months ago, which now on further investigation leads them to strikingly similar chain of events. Where the girl elopes with an unknown lover- with money and jewellery, and leaves behind a letter to the family stating that she has taken the decision herself. Within the next two...
