Delhi Crime Season 2

Netflix sent flowers and a lot of love to Shah for inspiring the India team.

The 'Darlings' star's character is also referred to as [Madam Sir](/topic/madam-sir)in the show. In reply, Shah wrote alongside the picture, "Thank you, Netflix India. The 'Delhi Crime' season two will also star Adil Hussain, Anurag Arora, Yashaswini Dayama, Sidharth Bhardwaj, Gopal Dutt, Denzil Smith, Tillotama Shome, Jatin Goswami, Vyom Yadav and Ankit Sharma. In a cute note, the streamer thanked Shah for her performance and for inspiring the India team. And we love you for that! Thank you for inspiring us with DCP Vartika Chaturvedi.

In the first episode, we watch a horrific home invasion in a wealthy Delhi subdivision in which the perpetrators are masked and implacable as they pass under CCTV cameras. As with the first season, the draw here is moody, anxious realism: Creator Richie Mehta and director Tanuj Chopra depict Delhi as a packed, edgy metropolis teetering on the brink of disorder. I especially love the small grace notes, keenly observed, like the fact that suspects are detained and held by hand in Delhi—not much use of handcuffs apparently—which leads to suspects escaping custody. The streamer was growing at a heady rate and the offerings were feeling scattershot—but the selection of international crime dramas remained solid as ever, and Delhi Crime’s seven-episode season was proof. I was dazzled by this gritty, well-observed procedural, which dramatized the aftermath of a notorious 2012 gang rape in New Delhi and introduced us to Deputy Commissioner Vartika Chaturvedi, a police heroine out of the Helen Mirren-as-Jane Tennison mold. Mehta and Chopra, who based this new season on writings by a former Delhi police commissioner, seem intent on even-handedly probing the strains of explosive growth, of a megacity bursting at its own seams.

So, this season of the show is really using reality to inform a new story rather than dramatizing a case directly. While the second season isn’t as direct a representation of reality as that, it is nonetheless heavily inspired by real events and history, especially the notorious Kachcha Baniyan gangs. Whereas gang members often disguise themselves as beggars or labourers to monitor their potential targets, the ringleader of the group here used her position as a beautician in a parlour to figure out who were most vulnerable to robberies.

The police team led by Vartika (Shefali Shah), with team members inspector Bhupendra Singh (Rajesh Tailang), sub-inspector Sudhir Kumar (Gopal Dutt) and SHO ...

It’s the most difficult role of the series so far, and Shome carries it off with remarkable harnessing of acting intelligence.So Delhi Crime Season 2 exceeds Season 1 in performance, storytelling and atmospherics, retaining the narrow core and vision about criminality and the skullduggery synonymous with Indian police systems—a creative strategy that’s as justified given the tight narrative as it is limiting. Duggal doesn’t have a single note of superfluousness in her portrayal of a woman in the throes of duty, and suppressing a lot that she doesn’t have the freedom to express or deal with—in stark contrast to Vartika, Neeti has yet to find her own worth as a woman belonging to two distinct worlds, home and the police station, suggesting without directly articulating that she is a Vartika in the making. In that sense, this season is keen to go with the pulse of the age. Editing is sharp, the details in the main characters revealing enough to make them believably human, but the story’s focus remains on the procedural and the plot. A series of brazen and gruesome murders of senior citizens living in South Delhi’s affluent high-walled mansions sets the DCP and her team on a mammoth path dictated largely by forensic clues. In this season, we see a benevolent legal side through a “celebrity lawyer” who belongs to a denotified tribe from the outskirts of Delhi, played laconically by Danish Husain.

She gets a call from CP Vijay who lets her know that the Home Minister of India is concerned about the issue too. Vartika however is not sure if it is the same group and expresses her concern with her husband. Vartika briefs her team about the Kaccha-Baniyan gang and their past criminal activities. Neeti talks to her husband Devender about the crime and they chat up about their upcoming holiday. Neeti is late and as she arrives, Vartika assigns her to take care of the victim’s daughter and grandson. The entire murder was recorded and Bhupendra alleges that the murder is committed by the ‘Kaccha-Baniyan’ gang. Vartika tells the victim’s daughter that she can take her parents’ bodies to the morgue with a promise that they will find the murderers soon. Vartika warns the team against leaking information out of their circle and asks them to get to work. The victim’s daughter arrives at the scene of the crime and asks about the commotion. Vartika talks to the daughter of the victim’s daughter and informs her about the murder. Season 2 of Delhi Crime starts with DCP Vartika Jha who reveals that 3rd of Delhi’s population lives in the slums and serves the elite, making it difficult to maintain law and order in the city. Officer Neeti Singh is now married and she too receives an alert about the crime.

The outcome is also a relatively positive one for Azaad and Jugnu Pardi, two tribal men who were becoming the front-runners for scapegoats just to spare the police’s reputation and quell the discord that was brewing among the populace. Through there, she was able to compile a list of potential victims who were suitable targets, and the gang emulated the MO of the Kachcha Baniyan gang to create discord among the police and public, allowing them to slip away unnoticed. A piece of stolen jewelry resurfaces and leads the team to a man named Guddu, who reveals he was working with three other people: Babloo, Thermal, and Karishma. (Viren Chaddha, a gang-buster specialist brought in by the commissioner, turns out to be a bigot and more trouble than he’s worth.) The second season of Netflix’s excellent and award-winning drama Delhi Crime once again bases itself on a real-life case, this one beginning with a quadruple murder in a South Delhi bungalow that seems to have been committed by a criminal syndicate inactive in the city for the previous 20 years. Following the brutal murders and the suggestion that they might be the work of the long-dormant Kachcha Baniyan gang, the city is plunged into panic.

Delhi Crime season 2 review - It's shorter than the first season but doesn't lack any of its quality and power.

While it lacks the surprise of the first season, Delhi Crime Season 2 has lost nothing that was great about it – for once, I could perhaps have even done with a couple of episodes more. This is what makes Delhi Crime Season 2 so riveting. But for DCP Vartika Chaturvedi and her returning colleagues, and indeed for the audience, this is far from a run-of-the-mill whodunit. This is the furthest thing from made-for-TV sensationalism, as concerned with realism and bureaucracy as a docuseries might be. And the second season is probably just as good, though admittedly shorter, spread across just five episodes. A second season was virtually inevitable.

Shefali Shah, who plays DCP Vartika Chaturvedi, spearheads another crucial investigation with her team as they are alerted with a gruesome quadruple murder.

"Delhi Crime" Season 2 is directed by Tanuj Chopra and created by Richie Mehta. The series once again banks upon the dependable Shefali Shah, who finds.

Commissioner Kumar called Vartika and told her that though she had been promoted to the post of DIG, she was being transferred to a remote area. On the one hand, we see the rich getting richer, and on the other, we see these people living in slums, devoid of any hope that one day they will make it to the top. The police got to know that Jugnu and Azad were present near the house of the first victims, a couple of days before they were killed. She told the press that Jugnu and Azad didn’t have anything to do with the gang. He was supposed to meet the other three when he was caught by the police. They had gone to the area to conduct a robbery, but they were not targeting the house of the victims who were killed by the “Kaccha Baniyan” gang. Everybody thought that in the press conference, she would name Jugnu and Azad as the members of the Kachha Baniyan Gang, but that didn’t happen. The commissioner of police, Kumar Vijay, wanted Vartika to create a narrative that aided the general sentiment, where they would make Jugnu and Azad the accused in the case. He tells Vartika and the others that the denotified tribes were called the criminal tribes in the British era. The police were called incompetent and blamed for not being able to ensure the safety of the people. The killers had the audacity to call the control room and openly challenge them. A balance that favored the privileged and didn’t mind trampling the downtrodden.

The second season of Delhi Crime fails to connect the dots between personal and political, reducing the series into a templated police and criminal chase.

The very existence of DCP Vartika Chaturvedi and her team ( The psyche of the perpetrators or even their relationship with crime are threads that remain woefully neglected in this season. The show takes sufficient effort to underline the culpability of police forces in continuing the language of colonial violence inflicted against these tribes even today. In fact, that’s as much as Delhi Crime goes in demanding to hold Delhi Police accountable for its excesses. By which, I am referring to an instance where a season with a complete arc is continued into another season once it becomes popular — undermining in the process the efficiency of the premise in the first place. That the members of the group were made up of people from the denotified tribes — classified as “born criminals” in colonial India — makes the Delhi Police’s investigation all the more hostile. Based on “Moon Gazer,” a chapter in former Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar’s book Khaki Files: Inside Stories of Police Investigations, the season pits DCP Vartika Chaturvedi ( In Kumar’s account, these heinous killings were carried out by members of the scheduled tribe in the 1990s and their victims included young women. Created and directed by Richie Mehta, the seven-episode series recreated the 2012 Delhi gangrape investigation with the Delhi Police as the hero and victim but never the villain.
