If you are looking for a crime web series in Hindi, this is a one to watch! There has been an unexpected uptick in the last ten years in the prevalence of films featuring macho, vindictive cops who are also blatantly fashionable. Playing the role of the country beauty who voluntarily marries the famous policeman in her first film Dabangg, a decade ago, Sonakshi Sinha would be the perfect person to know this. Amidst this, the complaint of a missing girl from almost two months ago comes to light, and their investigation has led them to an eerily identical line of events. In this scenario, the girl takes a letter to her family explaining that she chose to elope with her sweetheart, along with some money and jewels. These ladies are discovered dead in public restrooms within two days; they are dressed as brides and left with cyanide poisoning that has caused them to froth at the mouth. The pursuit to apprehend the fugitive serial murderer intensifies as Bhaati assumes leadership of the investigation and new clues emerge.

If you are looking for an action crime thriller web series, this is it! Nikhil (a dark and convincing Barun Sobti) and Dhananjay (a laboured Arshad Warsi) are the show's protagonists, and they end up on the same forensics team at the CBI. However, tensions between them will rise and fall throughout the series. Personal and professional issues from Nikhil's past remain unaddressed. Although he is now a married man with a daughter of his own, the tale continues to boil with the intensity of each murder. There seems to be no apparent connection between the killer, the victim, or anything else at first glance, save for the Balinese mask. This eight-part series is perfect for a weekend binge!
