Dahaad

Amongst many ordinary thriller web-series and movies with known star-casts, it is rare to get a true edge-of-the-seat thriller series that stands-out.

Dahaad is one of the rare good ones.

Surprised to see the low rating and reflects probably more on who all have watched thus far.

Whether casting, story, pace, dialogues or filming, all are top-notch and you will be pleasantly surprised when you finish the series. More importantly, it is not one of those stupid series which ends season 1 with many unanswered questions.

Good one for binge-watch and then feel satisfied that u did. Hope to see season 2 getting made and being in the similar league of Family Man.

I fail to understand the low ratings... it may not be technically proficient but content is amazing.. very nicely crafted.. achievement is that even knowing the culprit you are still glued to it... Acting is of highest order.. be it Sinha or Varma or / and all sundry characters.. Sinha in particular has excelled.. she actually looks the part.. Varma as always is comes across as a very genuine actor.. the expressions and nuances he brings to his role is simply mind blowing.. not to forget Gulshan and Sohum... beautifully restrained... direction is superb.. so guys pls watch it and don't believe the cynics and naysayers.

I don't get why the series is getting bad reviews from mainstream media. It is an excellent series with good acting, a well-paced story and backed by a good score.

It's gripping and unsettling. The screenplay is realistic. The writing is actually my favourite thing about this series. It captures both the apathy and tenacity of police in India. Its subtle commentary on Indian society is accurate af. It captures, very perfectly, the struggle women face, especially in rural and semi-rural India. And it does so in a thriller, wherein the viewer already knows who the killer is... that is not an easy feat.

Binge worthy series.

I watched the show only for vijay verma. And he never disappoints. Sonakshi sinha could be better anyways. Watching Vijay verma in negative role is a dream come true. It's slightly slow series but will keep u in suspense and thrill. Many people are criticizing the accent of sonakshi, but i don't have any knowledge about the real Rajasthani accent so it was okok thing for me. But if you are more considerate about the accent. You will find it lacking too. Overall the show is fine and a little new, but predictable concept is there. So move your asses and watch it now. If you're a rajasthani you will relate more.

Firstly, I am not the target audience here. I am a Telugu speaking person. I picked this web-series only because I am fan of crime / mystery/ thrillers.

I was a little skeptical if I should continue watching this show after the first episode. Glad, I decided to give it an other chance because the episodes 2 to 8 are intriguing. I wouldn't say the show is mind-boggling or out of the world but its definitely a good enough show especially if you are interested in this genre.

The plot is good (based on a real criminal) / actors suit the part (most of them slayed their performances) / locations are neat (very raw and realistic) / very rarely lagged - most of the episodes are crisp.

Other than good crime/ thriller / mystery / drama aspects, this show has some beautiful sub-plots showing all the bad stuff that's happening in our society.

The way we force our kids /especially women to get married as if there is nothing else for them to do in their life - The way we should support every individual / especially women to be independent in their life - The way we still discriminate people based on their caste but not their caliber - Normalizing having a freedom of seeing someone before getting married, especially of a women - How to subtly teach kids what is right and wrong when they do something bad in stead of beating / abusing them left right center - Treating male kid same as ones female kid - Normalizing having an attraction towards the colleagues at workplaces and the doesn't necessarily mean one should get into affairs which could affect an entire family / generation - Showing how a strong man can also be mentally affected and how we neglect it in our society.

There might be few other things I might have missed. However, on a final note, I liked my time watching this series. Will recommend.
