First four episodes were gripping but with a regular story line of Zombies. However ending of the show has confirmed that if they come up with next season it would be mind blowing. I would have given 8 but minus one for showing Indian army in a very bad light.
Betaal is a spooky treat to watch. Unique concept, good acting and direction having forgettable dialogues but backed by concrete storyline.
The show loses its grip for a while in third episode but apart from that it will keep you on your toes for sure. A definite watch for the fans of horror genre.
P.S. Army of dead could have been more scarier!😅

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.
Indian serieses are trying something new ... We should appreciate it. May be next season will be much better than this. Less horror more thriller 👍.
People giving single star needs peace truly. Everything which is made for screen has lot of effort behind that thing. Work appreciation is must 👍
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.
