![]() This is helped along nicely by Varma's magnetic, multi-layered performance (hey, he pulled off the Tyagi brothers' distinctive personalities after all) and the different masks he wears in front of the different people in his life. There is a sinister side to both these actions, and part of Dahaad's fascination lies in the little clues that we get to piece together over the course of its eight episodes. Worse still, Anjali and Devi Lal conspire (strictly out of sympathy) to help the "suspect" in one case and inadvertently put themselves in Kailash's crosshairs.īut their personal and professional troubles play second fiddle to the central mystery, with the person of interest presenting himself to the viewer early on: respected college professor Anand Swarnakar (Vijay Varma, who played the Tyagi twins in Mirzapur), seen encouraging an independent-minded girl in his literature class in one scene and then later trying lame pick-up approaches on random women at bus depots. The cops get wind of the larger mystery from two disparate cases that turn out to be linked. ![]() 'Once you've appeared in one gritty crime serial, it's SOP for us to profile you as a bad guy in our story too.'Īnjali's station house officer, Inspector Devi Lal Singh (Gulshan Devaiah), indulges her stubborn streak for reasons that may prove detrimental to his family life while her immediate senior Kailash Pargi (Sohum Shah) seems out to show them both up in the eyes of the politically-minded district superintendent. While the writers take pains to point out that India has laws to protect against caste discrimination, Mandawa – like its numerous fictional cousins on made-in-India streaming shows – is presented as a pocket of resistance that's holding fast to the old ways and hierarchies. What she treats as a minor irritation, however, is the fundamental contributor to the murders and why the killer could get away with it for so long, as Dahaad trains its guns on thinking that's mired in "tradition". There's Sub-inspector Anjali Bhaati (Sonakshi Sinha, Mission Mangal), who wants to rise above the shackles of her background (as derisively put by the town's elite, she is from "a backward caste") while refusing her mother's best efforts to match her with a prospective husband. Set in the small Rajasthan town of Mandawa, it deals with a strong-willed policewoman's efforts to unravel a mystery: over two dozen women are found in locked public toilets all over town at various times, dressed in bridal attire and dead from poisoning (this bit apparently inspired by a real-life serial killer).Ĭreated by Reema Kagti and Zoya Akhtar, Dahaad doesn't waste time setting up its cast of characters in the very first episode. I will never play this course again as there are much better courses for the money who have competent people working the course.Blending the gritty police procedural vibe of Delhi Crime with the occasionally NSFW small-town strife and sleaze of Mirzapur, Prime Video's largely gripping Hindi series Dahaad (Roar) is a balanced mix of crime thriller and mystery, with a sobering dose of social commentary thrown in. If you like to be badgered by inept marshals, this is the course for you. Where was the marshal? Nowhere to be found!!! We finished the round 8 minutes ahead of the pace. However, when we got to 10, just after being told to pick up the pace at the turn, the foursome in front of us was on the fairway and WE HAD TO WAIT. We at no time were slow but it does take time to hit out of the traps and various hazards. Then at the turn he was there again to tell us we needed again to pick up the pace. ![]() ![]() We were having quite a good time until the 6th fairway when the marshal came zipping across the fairway to tell us that we were 12 minutes behind the pace and we needed to pick it up. I would say 3 of us are decent golfers with drives of about 200-250 yds. Yesterday I joined 3 of my friends for a round at Grey Silo as it has been just over 3 years since we've gotten together. ![]()
