Indian Predator: The Butcher of Delhi

Netflix ultimately brings the serial killer craze to India's capital with a somewhat lesser known case of a man targeting the police and judicial systems with a string of murders. This three-part documentary expounds his brutal deeds, while subtly (and effectively) showcasing the oversight of the Delhi police in deciphering and catching the perpetrator. The larger chunk of essential information lies in the first couple of episodes, while the third serves as a filler-piece except for the portion where the family members of a victim are interviewed.

But when you look at the work as a whole, while I appreciate Ayesha Sood's hard-boiled approach, it lacks the memorability. The evidences presented are scarce, and since we don't get to hear any insights from the criminal himself (except for already-published, short TV interviews) or his immediate family, it is difficult to objectively read the guy. Some of his victims are barely even mentioned to add to his menacing mystique. At an overall viewing duration of 2 hours, it's always worth catching if true crime interests you!

8/10 for first episode 2/10 for second 3/10 for Third

When you know everything in the First episode itself. You ask yourself, What is the point of watching remaining Eps.

The narration sequence and style don't do justice to the nature of the crimes. Several events shown in the movie are staged with actors. The commentary from the police officers and criminologist is boring and matter-of-fact. I couldn't wait for the last episode to end so I can move on to something more interesting.

This a show that proves how incompetent Indian criminal system is - case would have solved mid way, all they had to do is install a Cctv camera at the spot but instead they couldn't even do that. Any one from foreign watching this will laugh on this that half of crime solves in India if they simply install CCtv cameras. It even shows police is not even trained to speak to criminals, rather they were seen questioning him nonsensical way. A country with this dense population should have huge numbers of cctv. Its pathetic to watch it clearly the criminal was highlighting the basic common sense faults of our police. For god sake Install a cctv camera.

Honestly i am a big serial killer story fan have watched all Netflix docs about crime.and was very excited to see an Indian serial killer docuseries!!

So i watched first episode i would rate it 9/10 but after the first both 2 and 3 are utterly boring like super boring they could have made it one 2 hour documentary and i think it would have been a pretty good job. The way of story telling have been it's like losing interest as you keep watching after first episode.

The screenplay is too much horror type comparing to something like Mind Hunter which is made not to make you feel sick even if the murders are brutal but this show they made it look very horrified.

Production was good not like some indie series.overall it's ok.
