Khakee The Bengal Chapter Review | Khaki: The Bengal Chapter, which is created by Neeraj Pandey, is the latest political crime series to stream on Netflix. Hindi series is also available in Telugu. Neeraj has successfully carried out it with the Bengal chapter. The series Khaki, starring many Bengali actors like Jeet, Propenjit Chatterjee, Shashwat Chatterjee and Ritwik Bhowmik, is not based on true incidents like Khaki: The Bihar Chapter. Let us tell you how it is.
plot
First Part, Khaki: The Bihar Chapter, Amit Lodha’s memoir Bihar Diaries: The True Story of How Bihar’s Most Dangerous Criminal Waz Cot is inspired. The story was led by Karan Tacker and Avinash Tiwari.
For the second part, Neeraj has changed the gear, for a fictional story except for the first chapter’s real -life inspiration. Set in Kolkata in the 2000s, Khaki: The Bengal Chapter comes out as a story of crime, corruption and law enforcement.
Story
Khaki: The Bengal Chapter begins with Bagha da, which is played by Shashwat Chatterjee and he presents his claim on the throne. The audience is later introduced to the IPS officer Saptarshi, which is played by Parambrata Chattopadhyay, which is ready to clean the air of Bengal. However, his untimely death causes a shock to the people of the city and they are aware of reality. Also, we see how politics and crime go together, because when a new police officer comes to take the case into his hand, a leader of Bengal is introduced to Barun Das, who has played by Prosenjit Chatterjee, who uses different criminals and runs his politics. Arjun Maitra, an honest policeman played by victory, is known for his straightforward and courageous methods, the calculating ocean talukdar and his strong puppets- Ritvik Bhowmik, confronted Ranjit Thakur.
Direction and writing
Khaki: The Bengal Chapter is directed by Debatma Mandal and Tushar Kanti Re, while Neeraj Pandey, Debatma and Emperor Chakraborty have written this series, and perhaps there is a problem here. The plot and screenplay of the show is predicted, but its direction, cinematography and excellent artists actually make this series different. Each character is well depicted as he has been given a proper opportunity to present his story. However, Khaki: The Bengal Chapter is a bit rough around the edges and there are many loose ends, but still! The performance of the artists and the general plot maintains your interest. Given how easily the last criminal was caught by the police officer Arjun Maitra, the climax looked a bit faded compared to the rest of the show. Music and background score is slightly dramatic, but Jeet Ganguly should be credited with preparing an interesting title track. Yes! ‘Ayine Hamra Bihar’ is unmatched, but ‘Another color also see Bengal’ is also fun
Acting
The soul of this series is its artist and his reliable acting. Bengali actor Jeet is at the forefront of this series, who is making her debut in Hindi with this series. The actor has done tremendous work. Despite exaggeration in some places, their valor is worth seeing. While we have seen Singham and Dabangg as exaggerated police, victory in Khaki is a fresh air. He can remind you of Prakash Jha’s Ajay Devgan of Ganga water because there is maturity in his acting which was necessary for that character. On the other hand, Pronejit Chatterjee is fantastic in the role of a corrupt political leader. His behavior in chaos and being calm is very compliment.
Ritvik Bhowmik has done a great job as Sagore. While his fans of Bandish Bandits will be surprised to see him in such a role, Jehanabad – of love and war fans will be happy to see such wildness from the OTT actor. Adil Zafar Khan has also acted tremendously. Despite the victory and the presence of Pronsonjeet, both have made their presence known. Shashwat Chatterjee is as good as always but Chitrangada Singh is also fine. The roles of Parambrata Chattopadhyay and Eternal are small but impressive.
Decision:
Overall, Khaki: The Bengal Chapter struggles in giving an attractive crime drama due to its slow pace and long runtime. While Ritwik Bhowmik, Adil Zafar, Jewler, and Prosonjit Chatterjee’s performance are excellent, but the predicted screenplay and excessive length obstruct the experience. Additionally, the frequent use of abusive words makes it unsuitable for family audiences. If you have no problem at a slow pace and you have enough time, you can try it – but with restrained expectations.
