Betaal

E1 gets 10 cos the series starts off very well, especially the poor tribals termed as terrorists so that their lands can be usurped forcefully in the name of development. The camcorder shot stuff is a bit irritating with those colors but the demons on the ceiling r creepy. A female's face is shown partly burnt which is similar to The Jackal.

E2 gets 8 but the hand held shaky camcorder stuff gets on ur nerves. Shot too much in the dark with those annoying flickering lights but still a creepy one.

This one goes all out action with the demons shooting a la Outpost style. Some may laugh it off but some scenes r creepy n bloody.

E3 gets 6 cos it gets repetitive, the drum beating demon gets on ur nerves, the mumbo jumbo stuff is lousy, the turmeric, etc. Stuff is laughable, the talking demons is again a big lol.

E4 gets 5 cos the editing n photography is very bad. The ending a big meh with all those sacrifices n all.

Overall the series gets a 7. A bit generous for the effort.

They shud learn from Radhika Apte's Ghoul n Soham Shah's Tumbbad.

Not bad, felt like watching a horror game like last of us. Didnt expected to be a zombie movie. It was more like a scary demon/monster movie. In fact, the first 2 episodes brings great horrific scenes and effects that can beat most of the horror movie. Story wise was okay, glad that they use an ancient cultural practice and mix it with curses, zombie and demons. Most of the casts were okay except for the colonel. Saanvi was annoying throughout the series. Everything getting messier starting in 3rd episode. Few things that doesnt make sense, the last episode was dissappointing, probably run out of budget or ideas for continuation. Glad that i watched, enjoyed the horror aspect of this. Recommended.

Betaal is a story set in an Indian village which is occupied by tribal people. There's a tunnel in the village which according to the villagers should never be opened as there is a presence of a strong force in it. The 4 part series was surprisingly good throughout with a few terrifying scenes. The tale is gripping , fast-moving but kind of predictable at times. Overall the first season was a great start for the upcoming seasons, especially the last scene was completely unpredictable. I will be eagerly waiting for the upcoming seasons , and hope the series improves by every season!! Great Indian Content!

I found the Story line of Betaal very refreshing & new. The Indian version of Zombie Army is done quite well. I just felt that the Emotional Scenes of the Characters could have been much better developed. It sometimes gave the impression of the scene dragging.

The ending left us with Season 2 that should come

Dialogues are Hindi versions ripped off from popular Hollywood movies. Gun wielding zombies are part-time vampires too. The Sarpanch's wife who otherwise tended to domestic chores is well capable to handle automatic rifles that she may get recruited into the army after the entire fiasco. About time, screenplays have ideas less influenced by Hollywood. Will give credits for the cinematography and visual effects though.
