A la caza de Veerappan

Very well documented timeline of this dreaded criminal. From late 80s until early 2000s. How so many different people involved in his life from wife to police to STF personals to friends to villagers to negotiators to traders account for his life is something you cannot find in any movie or book so far done on him,

Personal note not amounting to the rating given: I remember while growing up in Bangalore the stories of Veerappan and his atrocities were norm. I was in 2nd year of my college when Rajkumar was kidnapped and the days followed were horrific to say the least. The thing was that it took a kidnapping of an actor, though well revered to take this man more seriously than ever. Not that there were no sincere efforts were being taken to nab him but it all were failing due to many reasons which this documentary has shown quite aptly.

Saw the Netflix Movie, "The Hunt for Veerappan", the most dreaded man called sandalwood Verappan! He was said to have killed closed 220 people 50 policemen, killed 1000 elephants in a span of 20 years so!!

The Docufilm was very well made laced with interview from his wife Muthukakshmi, close associate and living policemen who had been part of STF to nab him. An objective enacted film without taking any sides of the two state govts or policemen or Veerappan and his gang.

Though one may argue that he was a southie robinhood, in my opinion at least, there can be no justification in glorifying his actions "as a hero"! A society cannot evolve n survive with gun culture- one wrong cannot annul another! And this holds good for both Veerappan and the police who were deployed by cunning looting politicians who ruled both the states during the time... We know for a fact that any smuggly -remember in 1990s till 2004 killing of 1000 elephants n felling of lakhs of sandlewood trees ,now reduced to 25%,could not have been achieved without connivance of politicians n police with the gangster like Veerappan!!!

But i liked the objective way the producers n director have made it. KUDOS TO THEM. .. In fact it is far far better than Oppenheimer the holywood hypocritical docubio!!

Was waiting for this series from long time. The actual timeline with the most accurate details makes this documentary so good. You will be glued to it until you finish it. We all in our childhood heard a lot about Veerappan(Indians) here is all the details and all the crimes he committed we only know him for the smuggling of chandan but it was way more than that and Netflix makes sure that every detail is shown as accurate as possible. You will feel the fear and you will feel the anxiety the only thing you will not feel is the time as it is a pure entertainer and even if you are not into documentaries I assure you this can be exception in your watchlist.

Great series. Not able to sleep without watching complete series!!!

Must watch series if you're interested in crime thrillers.

It's all about the Indian bandit Veerappan.

I'm a 90s kid. We have heard a lot about Veerappan from the early age of my life. That gave a eager to watch this series Some people know only bad side some know only good side of Veerappan or The police.

So after watching the complete series you can come to an conclusion either who's good and who's devil.

I don't know whether this director has done similar crime series come documentaries but this one will be well earn a very good name for this director.

I must not have paid too much attention at the news at that time or maybe it was too far from my bed but I don't remember anything from that manhunt. Interesting documentary though, well made, and consisting mostly of interviews from people that were involved in that case, whether it be sympathizers, family, media, or government agencies. Everybody has an opinion about him, from evil to almost saviour, the truth is that he wasn't a good guy, neither were the government agencies nor his wife. Amazing that it took them so long before catching him. I sincerly doubt he would have made it that long almost anywhere else in the world.
