Black Warrant is a thrilling and real-life series that presents our justice system and prison system in detail. It tries to explain in depth the complex psyche of criminals and the conditions inside and outside the prison.

Crime is a complex process which is difficult to control, but extremely important and commendable. The definition of crime may be different for every person, but understanding the basic nature of the criminal and taking responsibility for rehabilitation after punishment is an important part of the justice system.

All the characters in the film have their own contribution, but Sunil Kumar Gupta ji's presence is impressively visible in the entire story. Every episode of the series keeps the audience engaged from beginning to end.

The first episode reveals the identity of the snake killer and shows how capable Gupta ji is in understanding criminals. The depth and sensitivity of the death penalty is a highlight of this series. Gupta ji's investigation process is commendable-whether it is getting students out of jail, creating a legal setup for prisoners, or finding solutions for the poor and prisoners who have completed their sentence.

Gupta ji's personal life, especially failure in love, is a serious aspect of his challenging job profile. Teamwork is essential for jailers, as without it, criminals can dominate and jailers become puppets in their hands.

The episode "Kambal" shows that criminals can be on both sides- inside and outside, who can sacrifice anyone due to corruption. The episode "Double Life Imprisonment" highlights the misery of the jailers, where they also feel as if they are serving a prison sentence themselves.

Black Warrant is a highly impactful series that brilliantly presents the realities of society, justice and crime. It is a must watch.

Firstly, there is no plot, but episodes of the series divided into different stories with different circumstances, basically anthology series. I came in it with very less expectations thinking they would show the prisoners side stories, the human rights violation, gangs and torture etc, but it wasn't like that the story is been showed from the side of police officers who handle those prisoners, this was the first time I watched something from police's perspective.

Everyone, here apart from that punjabi jailer did a great acting here, I would have rated it 9 if this person had some good contribution to the series.

Every episode puts the jailers in a new positions to deal with and how NOT everything is not in their hands, they also have to listen to the prisoners to maintain leave in the jail, it can't be anarchy ki jisko marna hai maro.

I was impressed by Netflix, and gonna thank them for this series, we really need these kind of shows in the Hindi cinema when garbage movies like Singham 3 and Bhool bhulaiya 3 are on the rise. Please do promote these kind of series to maintain the authenticity and good quality writings.

A good one episode per day will Make your week and GOOD ONE.

Its well made with new talents who can really get the audience with their emotional coastal ride, the struggle between good ethics corruption then survival is shown, with little abrupt ending, The last episode is rushed, but the acting for the cast members pull of the show very well, its a conflict between humans with ethic and human who sell their ethics just to survive the harsh reality of jail life, the corruption the tiredness of trying to do something good in harsh society life behind the bars is shown in an authentic way. These series are thousands time better than what Bollywood sells as movies.

Binged watched - Black Warrant ( Netflix) last night. 7 episodes each of around 45 minutes . Set in Tihar Jail during the late 70s and early 80s, Black Warrant is a retro drama seen through the eyes of a rookie jailor, played brilliantly by Zahan Kapoor (grandson of Shashi Kapoor). If you enjoy Vikramaditya Motwane's work (Jubilee, Udaan, Lootera, Trapped, Sacred Games), this series is a must-watch. Based on a book by a Tihar jailor and journalist, it covers key events of the time, including Charles Sobhraj's imprisonment, high-profile executions like those of Ranga-Billa and Kashmiri terrorist Maqbool Bhat, and the impact of Indira Gandhi's assassination on a burning Delhi and Tihar Jail. The performances stand out. Zahan Kapoor shines as a jailor - torn between his conscience and harsh realities. Rahul Bhat is excellent as a corrupt yet skilled senior jailor managing the overcrowded, filthy prison. Paramveer Singh Cheema impresses as a young Sikh jailor juggling chaos at work and personal turmoil, with a magnetic screen presence. Sidhant Gupta captures Charles Sobhraj's charisma, from his French-accented English to his luxurious lifestyle even in jail. Another actor who plays young Hariyanvi Jailor is also good and so is Ranjendra Gupta as upright jail accountant. Slow, gripping, and very realistic Black warrant is highly recommended!
