Khakee: The Bihar Chapter

Never imagined a crime show based on infamous Bihar goondaraj can ever be directed, presented and narrated in such fashion. It's unlike any other Bihar based shows that one has ever seen. And by that I don't mean previously all Bihar based shows or movies were never authentic. Of course, there are many. When I say unlike, I mean in a slow burn way that has never been shown before.

It's your typical story but does it take you on wonderful journey of hinterland and touches the very core of every day Bihar? Oh, boy yes. An emphatic win for all involved from writers to actors but I personally would give all the credit to the Director and cinematographer of the series.

Ye "main" nahi kehta "hum" kehte hain, zaroor dekhiye iss series ko.

I will not mention names of any character, all were great in there roles not a single person disappointed by his or her acting.

They all just great in there characters.

I am writing this review late because I completed it in almost 4 days. I do binge watch but I gave this series time and enjoyed every scene, character and dialogue.

To be honest I appreciate work, the presentation, not just to write a review I watch a series in single shot.

I heard about the story from one of my friend and it's real so I thought of enjoying every part of the series.

I am fan of Neeraj Pandey Sir Work.

Maybe there's a flaw but while watching, it engage you in that manner that you'll ignore minors flaws.

Worth watch.

And that words of title song - Aaiye na hamra bihar me.. Still in mind and I am enjoying.. Loved the work.

Review of Khakee - itsbymayank Mayank Bharat Bhushan Louteriya (Khakee Review By itsbymayank)

A very good series! Must watch. Always believed in this from the start by just looking at the name Neeraj Pandey. But the series was very promising at every aspect. The casting and their acting, screenplay, background music, Bihari locations was top notch. This is one of the top Indian series on my list after Mirzapur, family man etc; The story/plot might be known from before but the way it was directed and displayed was very unique, stylish and also entertaining. You will want to watch the next episode with utmost curiosity every time. Mature acting by the leads, especially the antagonist was the best. He made me hate him, which for any antagonist is the goal. Must watch!! Recommended to everyone.

Very well made. Bihar of 90s and 2000s was a unique place - mafia, politicians and police often coalesced in each others territory. Some Criminals were hailed as robinhoods while at times police hardly put up any resistance to criminals and extortionists.

The sentiment of Bihar of those years has been succinctly captured in this series. Ashutosh Rana, Anoop Soni, Ravi Kishan & Karan Tacker have done parts very well.

Well researched series. Kumar sanu lives on in hearts and minds of people in interior of Bihar. Till date, it's impossible to cross any 'gumti/auto/condiments shop etc without hearing Kumar sanu's voice blaring saajan, phool or kaante,aashiqui songs. The references to casteist equation is hard to miss and has been quintessential to Bihar politics. Language, diction, slangs in series very well mirrors how majority of Biharis communicate.

Gangs of Wasseypur was released 10 years ago but the glass ceiling it broke, the unchartered territory it opened to stories like these from badlands & hinterland to be shown to pan India audience - will be permanently indebted to it.

Khakee - the Bihar chapter is a well made,damn good series. Shouldn't be missed!

Created by Neeraj Pandey, this series shines. Very well plotted, with excellent performance by most of the actors, every episode pulsates with action. Indians are very well aware of the dirty politics and that too the sickening reach politics has in Bihar, India's most backward state. The series tries to establish the fact that politicians can drop down to any level to be in the limelight. Karan Tacker as SP Amit Lodha, sizzles with his performance. Equally,Avinash Tiwari as the hard core criminal Chandan Manto does justice to his meaty role. Apart from these two, all other characters act very well, Looking forward to the Second Season.
