Anwar Says: Bisaat- Khel Shatranj Ka , a crime thriller by veteran Mukesh Bhatt , streaming on mxplayer. When Bhatt family is involved, your expectations are very high . It is an upmarket mystery drama, where a psychiatrist is stuck in the cobweb of one of her patient and becomes the prime suspect of a series of murders. The initial pace and events would hook you till the fourth episode but from the fifth one you start checking messages on your phone. The end is more than expected , if you are a regular watcher of crime-thriller. Sandeepa Dhar as Doctor Kiana has looked and acted beautifully and justified her selection . Read somewhere that she lived with some psychiatrist for one and half moths to get into the role. Other characters like Omkar Kapoor, Khalid Siddiqui, Leena Jumanji have also played their role well but it's an out and out Sandeepa's story and probably her best so far . Series would have been more crisp if editing would have cut it into 6 episodes. Settings are excellent, particularly the chambers of doctors in the hospital. The first time I just thought, I should have chosen medical profession (pun intended). Mr. Bhatt has given us much more thrilling blockbusters , but you should go for this one too, since you don't have much to do in the evenings.
