This is the first time I will be writing review of a web-series as it has provoked me to write about the terrible incident. Delhi Crime was an eye-opener of the famous Nirbhaya case which is intriguing and disturbing.
Based on the horrific incident of 2012 Delhi gang-rape of a 23 year old girl in a moving bus, which rocked the entire nation, Delhi Crime is the chronical of the detailed investigation carried out by Delhi Police and the effort spent in nabbing the 6 accused involved in the crime within 5 days.
Directed, researched (for 4 years) and created by Richie Mehta along with Laurence Bowen and Toby Bruce, Delhi Crime is one of most dark and disturbing movie I have ever seen. The seven episode series will keep you hooked to the detailed investigations starting from a wake-up call at 2 AM to the DCP of South District, Delhi Police, Vartika Chaturvedi, informing about the bleeding and naked victims, lying along streets during a cold-wintry night of Delhi, police officers travelling across the remote areas of Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Jharkhand to locate the accused till the confession made by Nirbhaya herself. Each and every scene has executed appropriately and accurately.
Delhi Crime has been told from the Delhi Police's point of view - how their lives got impacted along with their family during those 5 days of strenuous investigation, working endlessly at the police station and not even being allowed to go back home. The web-series details out the struggles and challenges faced by the cops mentally, physically and financially (yes ... there were budget constraint even during this critical time). Few scenes do stand out - the interrogation scene between Delhi Police and remorseless Jai Singh, who was proud of his misdeed, the scene where a police call-operator wants to leave early but is always held by the DCP, the hospital scene where the doctor tells DCP about the deteriorating condition of Nirbhaya and the scene where the judge finally comes directly to record the confession of Nirbhaya. Hats off to the director for making it bold and blunt. Delhi crime was also an eye-opener for the story on the male victim, who was being sympathized by many till now. As rightly pointed out by a police officer, he could have fought against attackers in the moving bus. The web-series also shows his willingness to be in limelight by giving interviews to media, despite being warned by the DPS twice that it might spoil their investigation. Unfortunately, the media in our country is one piece of crap who would go to any extent to sell their stuff without even understanding the grimness of the situation.
Delhi Crime boast off some strong technical support. I should start with an outstanding editing work. The background score is haunting and yet mesmerizing. The cinematography is brilliant, portraying a real-life crime with aplomb. Screenplay is fantastic, though it becomes little sluggish towards the 5th and 6th episode.
Coming to the performances, it is Shefali Shah who will make you believe in the tough investigation carried out by the Delhi Police. Inspired by real-life IPS officer, Chhaya Sharma (former DCP South District, Delhi Police), Shefali Shah lives and breathes the character of Vartika Chaturvedi. Shefali is complimented by Rajesh Tailang (Mirzapur fame), her long-time co-worker, who stands tall with her at each and every moment. The actors playing the role police officers on field were equally marvelous.
On the whole, Delhi Crime is not easy watch but it will expose the harsh reality of what happened on that fateful night and it will definitely make you angry. Go for it ...MIND-BLOWING 4.5/5

Can't be missed. One of the best crime series.Permalink

Delhi Crime is no easy watch. In fact, it should come with a trigger warning. The show follows Delhi Police and how they nabbed the 6 accused in the unsettling 2012 gangrape case that shook the capital. The series is, at once, an unputdownable watch but an exhausting experience.

Will make you angry and overwhelmed at the same timePermalink
abhimanyusarin23 March 2019
I was very angry and overwhelmed at the same time when watching this. It's an amazing take on the real heinous act of inhuman treatment and ghastly Ugly reality of our so called society which holds their values to the core but don't know how to act on them. My guts were trolling when this happened and again when i was watching this. I really hope that such demonic creatures never come into existence and the accused get the justice they deserve asap.

Very thought provoking..Lots of respect and our Police department.Maybe a little slow. But to get the true the experiences they go through, it's necessity.Casting and acting is superb. Need more shows like this to erase the misconceptions of our heros.

- compelling viewing. Let down by lack of subtitles throughout. This sort of thick accent (and I am of Indian origin) was near impossible to understand. Producers (Netflix) should have insisted on subtitles for the Hindi as well as the 'English' dialogue!

A crime from the point of view of the policePermalink
sanketmistry922 March 2019
It's just great. The show shows the other perspective of the actual Happenings. The media just showed us the view point of the victims's family, the series showed us from the perspective of the investigators of the case. Thank You Netflix and Richie Mehta for making this series.

10 stars to Delhi Police ActuallyPermalink
kotadia-dushyant22 March 2019
Show is fast paced in start but slowly looses its pace. But overall really very good show a must watch. Hats off to Delhi police for the dedication shown if they have actually done it as shown in the show. Don't believe everything which media shows.

A breathtaking crime series. A true masterpiece! Pure poetry.Permalink
janoffpeter28 March 2019
This was by far one of the best crime series I've seen. Not only do you get an insight into the everyday lives of this mega cosmopolitan task force and the challenges it faces in economic terms, there's a is a dynamic of hopeful optimism poignantly portrayed and conveyed in a way rarely seen. What's more one gets a first hand hands on look at India and it's diverse economic and complex political structure. The script is masterfully orchestrated and the constant intertwine of Hindi and English is simply fascinating. Language plays a major roll and is definitely well used to depict the various layers of social and economic strata in that bustling nation. Aside from it holding high standards as a crime series it really was extraordinarily educational to say the least. Based on a true story or perhaps several of them this is a must for all that feel in some way social justice is out of reach. It isn't if it is found such a struggling and vast nation like India. Kudos to all involved for a magnificent team effort in producing such a beautiful and gripping series. Top notch.

True determinationPermalink
daniels-thaabiet24 March 2019
I am on episode 5, its 2am on a working day and I aint stopping till im done with the series, not that I cant stop watching but that I wont stop. If the Delhi Police worked around the clock to bring those assholes to justice, them Im staying up to honour that, just need to figure out what to tell the boss in the morning.....on a serious note, this is one hellavu show, it has everything from the most amazing moments of sheer determination to bring a**holes to justice, to sheer strength of sacrifice not to mention some relationships are funny as hell. The acting is superb, the pace is intense. Its waaaay better then most of the crime dramas out there. I highly recommend it.

One of the best series India has ever produced. Quite beautifully covered the sequence and very amazingly added the essence of suspense without troubling the crust of the story.
Brilliant work by Shefali Shah. Her talent has been exposed after a very long time. Quite definitely a under rated actress.
This series definitely will make all the youth and youngsters to join Indian Police force.
Definitely everybody should watch it out!!!!
Three cheers for the team for such brilliant performance!

Perfect investigation in a horrible crimePermalink
dr_mehtasam23 March 2019
Season One is based on investigations in Nirbhaya gangrape case. Series relied upon real events and facts surrounding the investigations. Nirbhaya was brutally gangraped and her boyfriend was assaulted on a moving bus in winter of December-16. There were six culprits. Everything happened in the dark of the night. So to recreate the chain of events, to find out the bus and to identify the victims were very difficult tasks. But Delhi police under the leadership of DCP Vartika Chaturvedi crack this case in five straight days. She forms her own investigating team and each team works on minute details and leads. Though there are some really powerful performances, by and large, all cast did their job nicely and fit into their respective characters perfectly. Characterisation was so good that you can very well predict how one would behave in a given situation. Writer did include some drama by using subplots involving families of cops and some politics of Delhi. This does interrupt the buildup of tension. But overall, series is written very nicely and most the time it does not lose grip over the main plot.

Why hide the religion of the juvenile?Permalink
nietzsche_is_dead19 September 2019
Warning: SpoilersJust another communist political hijack of the actual story for the writers' nefarious intentions.
They portray the juvenile who did the most horrific things as 'Jai Singh'.They did not mind reminding the viewers that Jai's bus has a Shivji statue. Not once but multiple times. But they forgot to mention the most likely name of the Juvenile named Mohammed Afroz? Is it because the 'special community' should not be 'tarnished' but tarnishing the Hindu community was okay?
If anyone really wants to know how these communist parasites carry on this subtle propaganda, read the book 'Black is Beautiful' by Yuri Bezmenov deployed in India. He was a former communist who defected to Canada and he has exposed this very kind of propaganda employed by the then KGB.

IS THIS EVER GOOD!Permalink
bsant5424 March 2019
Pace, tempo etc. SO VERY DIFFERENT from N. America or EU crime shows. Shefali Shah as the lead investigator mesmerizing in this. She makes the whole series go, then again, the rest of the cast just SO BELIEVABLE - the personalize it but not in your typical Soap Opera N. American style. The 1st guy they catch you'd think was for real, he went from clueless to evil in seconds. There was shoe throwing which I thought was pretty good and different for sure. Bush Jr. not the only one on the 'sole' end of that. FOR ONCE, A MUST WATCH. And, they spare you no details about the crime. GLUED TO THE TV RIGHT NOW, on Episode 3 but wanted to chime in that the rating so far, 8.9, so very well deserved. Loving every second of this show so far.

The Nirbhaya case is a permanent scar for Indian society. We failed as a society to have that lady and numerous others suffering horrible sexual abuse and crimes.The Netflix show will be a tribute to the hard working law enforcement and Delhi Police who cracked the case. Shefali acting is so good that she could be nominated for oscar!!

Ode to Delhi police and a tribute to braveheartPermalink
matrixdukenukem23 March 2019
Where to start. I was scared to watch this for many reasons and biggest concern was what if they don't do justice to her story.
After finishing this season I can say this is the most respectful way this true story has been told. Although don't be fooled, there are demons in this story and the writers did not shy away to show where they come from and what they become after they commit the crime.
Shefali Shah plays Dcp Vartika who personally handles this case fiercely. Both women and men in her team play equal roles and support their leader as she very much deserves. Shefali Shah has garnered lot of praise for this role and very well deserved however her support team Rajesh Tailang (Bhupendar Singh) and Rasika Dugal (Neeti Singh) are extraordinary. Special shout out to Jaya Bhattacharya(officer Vimla) and Adil Hussain who play significant part but do it amazingly.
The production design is rightly done, and the DoP captures Delhi in winter as chillingly as this heinous crime was. Screenwriters try to cover alot of issues like the behavior of media, politicians, protestors and also the braveheart's battle with her life but the main focus remains on the men and women of police force working on this case. The story dwells deep into the sacrifices they make and most of the time the writers get it right.
What didn't work for me was the side plot of the daughter of Dcp Vartika. I get what they were trying to say but that story wasn't worth telling and instead that precious time could've been used to focus on the forensics or little more courtroom drama, since this is a crime show. Yashaswini Dayama plays her part well but her school friends don't.
This is a must watch as a citizen of India I would say but then again, not everyone can stomach this narrative. This series will definitely make you relive those days when this incident happened.
Finally, there are reviewers giving this low rating, saying it's slow and boring or it's too soon to tell this story. This is in now way boring but don't expect a Cid type of thrill. This is a story of those 5 days, story of what the police was doing, how the politicians were playing and how the Braveheart fought her way through this.
