MURDERS SHE SOLVED

Web series about serial killers are rare in India, but Sonakshi Sinha-starrer Dahaad takes a stab at the genre

POLICE PROCEDURAL Sonakshi Sinha in a still from Dahaad (Prime Video)

Crime has been a staple of Indian web series, but few creators have attempted one set around a serial killer (Voot Select’s Asur and ZEE5’s Duranga come closest). Enter Reema Kagti and Zoya Akhtar, whose second show, Dahaad (streaming on Prime Video), involves a bunch of police officers following the trail of one. A slow burn of a crime drama, it’s one where the audience is always two steps ahead of the police and the thrills and twists are few and far between.
