About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an intense, message-driven crime drama about addiction and corruption with multiple connected stories; Not for you if you avoid disturbing violence, heavy themes, or slower stretches like in Paatal Lok.
Pros: strong performances; gripping social issue; interwoven storylines | Cons: slow in parts; uneven second half; some unrealistic moments
