“One can easily fall into the trap of sensationalism while portraying one of the most talked about case but Delhi Crime will not once make you cringe because of its content. It’s a well-researched and painstakingly made series, which will make you see the police in a new light. Richie tried to present the roadblocks the cops have to deal with while working on a case, be it lack of funds or manpower. One could easily say that the series is biased towards the police but Richie himself has accepted that he wanted to show the ordeal that the police went through and despite their challenges timely solved the case,” writes Shweta Keshri for India Today online.Delhi Crime Season 1-2 Download.
Delhi Crime Story is based on real events from 2012. The series begins with the discovery of a naked man and woman in a ditch. He was beaten. She was beaten and gang-raped in ways that are detailed in the dialogue and, thankfully, less so visually. The crime took place on a city bus.Gradually and accompanied by chyrons telling us their rank and years of service, the various law enforcement figures on the case are introduced. Leading the case are Deputy Commissioner of Police Vartika Chaturvedi (Shefali Shah), a longtime department veteran who fixates on the gruesome nature of the crime and is determined to oversee the case’s solution herself, and Neeti Khanna (Rasika Dugal), an inexperienced trainee whose potential Vartika is able to spot.
The series opens with a foundation-laying voiceover that paints Delhi as a woefully under-policed city in which half the force is stuck on traffic duty or on VIP protection. It concludes by teasing that this was “a crime that took the city to the brink.” The voiceover verges on hard-boiled, much of Vartika’s dialogue is comparably turgid, which had me thinking Delhi Crime Story might be some kind of Indian noir. It’s a possibility that I was totally on board for, but one that didn’t quite pan out.
