Daldal Review: Bhumi Pednekar Shines in Dark Cop Drama, But Repetition Drags It Down
- •'Daldal,' directed by Amrit Raj Gupta, is a gritty crime series streaming on Prime Video since January 30, starring Bhumi Pednekar as ACP Rita Ferreira.
- •The series starts strong with compelling performances and authentic police dynamics, particularly in the first two episodes.
- •Bhumi Pednekar delivers a powerful performance as the strict, no-nonsense ACP Rita Ferreira, carrying the weight of childhood trauma.
- •The plot revolves around Rita investigating a serial killer whose crimes follow a repetitive pattern, leading to a prolonged cat-and-mouse chase.
- •Despite strong performances from Pednekar and the supporting cast, the show suffers from repetitive storytelling, a slow pace, and an unconvincing final reveal.
Why It Matters: Bhumi Pednekar's strong performance elevates 'Daldal,' but repetitive plot and slow pace hinder its potential.
