Khakee: The Bengal Chapter

Khakee: The Bengal Chapter is an 2025 Indian crime thriller television series created by Neeraj Pandey. It stars Jeet, Prosenjit Chatterjee, Parambrata Chatterjee and Chitrangada Singh in leading roles. Created by Neeraj Pandey and directed by Debatma Mandal and Tushar Kanti Ray, it marks the web series debut of Jeet. The world of Khakee has always been about larger-than-life conflicts, high-stakes drama, and nuanced characters that redefine the lines between good and evil. With Khakee: The Bengal Chapter, we take this intensity to a new level. Set against the vivid backdrop of Kolkata, this chapter delves into gripping power struggles and follows a relentless IPS officer who dares to challenge the system. The entire ensemble cast has delivered exceptional performances, ensuring that Khakee: The Bengal Chapter is an evolution of the beloved narrative.

It has been quite a while since I indulged myself in a political/crime thriller coming from Netflix, and this show truly stands out, brimming with grit, intensity, and an abundance of raw energy.

From the very first scene of the inaugural episode, the groundwork was neatly laid, with their schemes outlined and intentions as transparent as daylight.

The narrative unfolds at a respectable pace, skillfully attending to each of the major characters and their unique arcs and growth.

What I particularly find impressive is that the script remains unwaveringly focused on its central theme, effectively portraying the dark underbelly of Kolkata back in 2000's, rife with thugs and their unrelenting criminal activities.

Moreover, the performances delivered by the whole cast were so compelling that I often found myself totally engrossed in the unfolding drama, losing the track of time and forgetting that these were merely characters born from someone's imagination.

Having said that I wished for a better finale, my one and only complaint about the show, particularly the last episode, which failed to deliver a satisfactory conclusion, leaving me underwhelmed.

Everything is up to the Mark whoever lived once in Bengal will connect with this web series Neraj Pandey's cretaion is mind-blowing Everyone played their role so brilliantly .

It's how the syndicate works in Bengal how goonda team plays their role and favour politician to win the election. And every honest bengali suffers in third daily life .

People talk crimes about crome in Bihar ,UP but doesn't talk about how bengal's system is corrupt and full of gundaas elements and syndicate works for their local neta and benefits get the top politicians and when they get their filthy work done.

They break up their relationships from goonda elements That's why they become rebellion and become out of control and creates chaos for whole society.

The new Web Series Khakee The Bengal Chapter was the much awaited one after Khakee the Bihar Chapter from the same Production House. At the outset this should be admitted that Khakee the Bihar Chapter is much better one than the new one. The reasons are obvious- the crime-politics cocktail is simply matchless if the context is Bihar. Another one is: Ashutosh Rana, Karan Tacker, Avinash Tiwari made it more impressive.

However, Khakee the Bengal Chapter has not disappointed. But the plot lacks consistency at certain points. Instead of dramatizing the Crime scenes, there is repetition. Instead of using metaphors, the Web Series repeatedly shows slaughtering of people. But the theme explores the tricky narrative that keeps the viewers hooked till the end.

The multi starrer Web Series has several big names. But their performance is rather stereotypical. In the negative role Prasenjit is not a good choice. Prambrata leaves early. Jeet is also stereotypical.

But it is Adil Khan. He is matchless. Adil has made a great screen presence in this Web Series and he makes the action moving around. His performance when he kills his friend reminds Aditya Puncholi. Really great. Must watch one.

An engaging narrative paired with outstanding performances from the lead cast! Jeet, Prosenjit, Saswata, and Parambrata truly demonstrated why they are in the industry for such a long time. The development of the relationship between Ritwik Bhowmik and Adil Khan throughout the series was particularly captivating, with both actors delivering exceptional performances across all seven episodes. However, the character of Chitrangada Singh could have benefited from further refinement. The screenplay and cinematography fell short, lacking the authentic Kolkata atmosphere. On a positive note, casting Bengali actors greatly enhanced the dialogue delivery, avoiding the poor Bengali accents and clichés often seen in recent Bollywood productions.
