‘Daldal’ Review: Intense performances by Bhumi Pednekar, Aditya Rawal and Samara Tijori & what a beautifully restrained way of storytelling
Daldal explores inherited trauma and patriarchy through the investigation of a ritualistic serial killer targeting men in Mumbai, with Bhumi Pednekar as DCP Rita Ferreira.
- On Jan 30, 2026, Prime Video released the seven-episode crime thriller Daldal, directed by Amrit Raj Gupta and based on Vish Dhamija's Bhendi Bazaar, starring Bhumi Pednekkar as DCP Rita Ferreira.
- Adapted from Vish Dhamija's Bhendi Bazaar, Daldal aims to examine inherited trauma, patriarchy and moral rot while drawing on trafficking and abuse.
- During a covert seven-week operation, victims are found with wrists slit and mouths stuffed with raw meat, involving Indu Mhatre, Sub-Inspector, and Anita Acharya in the investigation.
- Reviewers faulted Bhumi Pednekkar's restrained portrayal of DCP Rita Ferreira but praised Samara Tijori, Aditya Rawal, and Geeta Agrawal Sharma in the series.
- With dark themes like paedophilia and drug abuse, the series reveals the killer early, highlighting internal conflicts in the Mumbai Crime Branch and broader social critique.
