Black Warrant

Anwar Says: One of the best narrative in its genre happened to OTT. Thanks to Vikram Motwane and Satyanshu Singh to dig out the story of Black Warrant: Confession of a Tihar Jailer. Set in the background of 80's , viewers of 50+ would be able to better correlate. Hanging of Ranga-Billa and Kashmiri Separatist Maqbool Bhatt, assassination of Indira Gandhi, prison escape of JNU students which would take you to the headlines of that era.

Zahan Kapoor as Sunil Gupta is son of Kunal Kapoor and acting flows in his nerves. The real author Sunil Gupta was a jailer at this time and I am sure he must have done extensive research with casting director Mukesh Chhabra to find Zahan. The counterparts Dahiya and Mangat played by Anurag Thakur and Mangal Singh Cheema are excellent and the chemistry amongst three is the most ravishing feature. DSP Tomar , played by Rahul Bhat is a disdainful character and complex as well but brilliantly portrayed. Sidhant Gupta as Charles Shobhraj is cherry on the top. Female characters don't have much to do.

After much of time, some discomfiting web series has come and even the genZ could understand the scenario of '80s, not only the conditions of inmates but the politics and journalism of that period as well. A must watch, highly recommended.

This series needs patience to dive into it but after completing one episode you can feel the portrayal of prison life... The series explores Tihar Jail through the raw and unfiltered reality of prison life.

Zahan Kapoor Rahul Bhat is the star of the show their performance makes the show believable from the very first frame. But what sets Black Warrant apart are the characters.

The storytelling is exceptional. It's a perfect example of how visuals can enhance the emotional weight of a story.

Performances, chemistry, and drama are all present in Vikramaditya Motwane's Netflix series, Black Warrant. The characters are initially introduced with care, and their stories gradually unfold. While all episode directors have done a commendable job, the ones helmed by Motwane truly stand out. These episodes carry a raw, authentic feel that resonates with the audience, making it easy to relate to the characters and their pain.

Zahan Kapoor has shown notable improvement compared to his previous project. Paramvir Cheema delivers a standout performance, proving he's here to stay. Rahul Bhat is exceptional as DSP Tomar, bringing a natural and irreplaceable depth to the character.

However, the pacing dips slightly in the middle, making the series feel a bit lengthy at times. Thankfully, the narrative picks up momentum in the final two episodes, delivering a satisfying conclusion.

All in all, Black Warrant is a good watch with stellar performances and impactful storytelling.

After long time, watched an indian web series that made me binge watch it to complete season non stop... Art direction, screenplay, the direction, cast all is... Too good!!!

The acting and the story fabricated with the real life cases of Tihar jail.

As foretold in many movie and series that How Prison itself is a world of its own. The place has its own charisma, rules and order that needs to be followed in order to survive.

The series beautifully narrates the lives of people connected with a prison. Some scenes felt like a poem and some felt like a ruthless scene of crime drama.

It was set in 80s and it truly delivered the time era to its audience. The color, telephone, mail, bus etc everything take one back to the time.

It was raw and real. The main protagonist who due to lack of job joined a job to be a jailer and how he never gave up on the idea to become a good one despite the society not in good terms with a jailer's family.

And most of all, The Charles character who speaks English was way ahead classy. I assume the next season (Hopefully) revolves around his lifestory.

Firstly, there is no plot, but episodes of the series divided into different stories with different circumstances, basically anthology series. I came in it with very less expectations thinking they would show the prisoners side stories, the human rights violation, gangs and torture etc, but it wasn't like that the story is been showed from the side of police officers who handle those prisoners, this was the first time I watched something from police's perspective.

Everyone, here apart from that punjabi jailer did a great acting here, I would have rated it 9 if this person had some good contribution to the series.

Every episode puts the jailers in a new positions to deal with and how NOT everything is not in their hands, they also have to listen to the prisoners to maintain leave in the jail, it can't be anarchy ki jisko marna hai maro.

I was impressed by Netflix, and gonna thank them for this series, we really need these kind of shows in the Hindi cinema when garbage movies like Singham 3 and Bhool bhulaiya 3 are on the rise. Please do promote these kind of series to maintain the authenticity and good quality writings.

A good one episode per day will Make your week and GOOD ONE.
