Review of Delhi Crime

Delhi Crime (2019– )
10/10
Investigating a real crime in New Delhi which shook India
6 June 2021
In 2012 a young couple boarded a night bus in the Indian capital; he was beaten but she was brutally raped by the six men on board. They were then dumped, naked, from the moving bus. We aren't shown any of that; we just see then boarding the bus before switching to the police vehicle which does to the scene. Pressure on the police is very high with public, press and politicians demanding a rapid resolution to the case. Officers led by DCP Vartika Chaturvedi search to find the bus and its driver. The hunt for others, particularly two only known by nicknames won't be as easy.

I would heartily recommend this series; it deals with a crime that shook India and was reported around the world in a sensitive way. We do not have to see the crime to know how vile it was; descriptions of what happened to the young woman are disturbing enough. The investigation is interesting to watch as it shows the difficulties the police face as the struggle to get results quickly with limited resources. The series is shot on location and looks great; capturing the contrasts in the city. The cast is impressive; both those playing major characters and those in smaller roles.

These comments are based on watching the series in Hindi with English subtitles.
