Neeraj Pandey's Khakee: The Bengal Chapter may tread familiar ground, but it grips hard once it picks up after the first two episodes. The authenticity brought in by the Bengali cast, detailed sets, and tight direction enhances the viewing experience. Chitrangada Singh was also decent in her role.

The stellar of the show was Aadil Zafar Khan, who delivered sheer brilliance as Ranjit Thakur, you'll hate him every time he appears, and that's a mark of his brilliance. Jeet, in his Hindi debut as the no-nonsense cop Arjun Maitra, is absolutely phenomenal. No glam, no six-pack abs, just a real, rugged, badass cop who owns every frame. Their performances make the series unforgettable.

Now the question is if Khakee: The Bengal Chapter is better than the much-successful Bihar chapter. Yes, and it's all thanks to the brilliant lead cast.

I've taken a break from writing reviews due to my busy schedule, but my love for movies remains strong. Recently, I heard great reviews about Super Boys of Malegaon and made an effort to watch it-what a remarkable film! Undoubtedly one of the best in recent years, it's an impactful masterpiece, much like 12th Fail.

Director Reema Kakati once again proves her brilliance after Talash and Dahaad, showcasing her impeccable storytelling. The performances were outstanding, with special mentions to my favorites-Vineet Kumar Singh, Adarsh Gourav, and Shashank Arora. Kudos to writer Varun Grover for another stellar job-I also miss your stand-ups!

Don't let its box office numbers deter you; this is the kind of cinema that keeps our love for movies alive. We need more films like this!

Based on true events, "The Railway Men" is a must-watch series that delves into the harsh realities of third-world countries and the exploitation they face from the first world. Drawing some parallels with the impactful Chernobyl, it's crucial not to compare the two, as each unfolds its unique dynamics.

The director has executed a phenomenal job, although the narrative experiences a slight dip in the middle, which is redeemed by the strong performances of the ensemble cast. Kay Kay Menon once again delivers an exceptional portrayal, living up to the high expectations associated with his name.

A notable mention goes to Babil Khan, who exudes the captivating vibes reminiscent of his late father, Irrfan Khan. It's evident that this talented young actor is set to carve his own path and carry forward his father's legacy.

"The Railway Men" manages to capture the essence of its subject matter, providing viewers with a thought-provoking experience. It's a commendable effort that not only sheds light on the exploitation faced by third-world countries but also showcases the resilience and strength of those enduring such challenges.
