Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein – Season 1 (2022)
Director: Sidharth Sengupta
Cast: Tahir Raj Bhasin, Shweta Tripathi, Anchal Singh, Saurabh Shukla, Arunoday Singh, Brijendra Kala, Surya Sharma
eh Kaali Kaali Ankhein (2022) unfolds as a gripping #RomanticCrimeThriller on Netflix India, where ambition, desire, and danger collide in a nondescript UP town. Directed by Sidharth Sengupta, the series centers on Vikrant (portrayed by Tahir Raj Bhasin)—a timid accountant whose life spirals when Purva (Anchal Singh), the fiercely obsessive daughter of a powerful politician, targets him with relentless intent. Shikha (Shweta Tripathi) stands as the genuine love interest, caught between loyalty and the chaos closing in. #SidharthSengupta #TahirRajBhasin #ShwetaTripathi
The tone is deliciously pulpy and unapologetically dramatic, with narrative twists delivered in quick succession. From plot points that range from forced alliances to betrayal, the storytelling balances dark humor with blood-tinged suspense. The title, a nod to a cult classic Bollywood song, sets the mood for a theatrical showdown of power, passion, and paranoia. Cinematography by Murzy Pagdiwala (Season 1) bathes scenes in shadow and tension, while the title track remix adds an earworm tag to every scene. #Cinematography #Soundtrack #CrimeThriller
At its core, the series examines power dynamics, obsessive love, and moral disintegration under pressure. Vikrant’s evolution from a meek dreamer into a desperate survivor plays out viscerally, anchored by Bhasin’s compelling performance. Purva’s intensity—at once mesmerizing and terrifying—forces viewers to question where obsession ends and control begins. Reviews praised its bold stylistic flavour, calling it “kitschy pulp fiction done right.” The Indian ExpressRotten TomatoesGadgets 360Leisurebyte
However, the execution occasionally strains credibility: some plot devices feel convoluted, and pacing uneven, as critics note. Yet, it’s precisely this unapologetic melodrama that galvanizes its appeal. Ending on a cliffhanger, Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein – Season 1 cements itself as a cult thriller that’s equal parts addictive and unsettling—an essential entry in Indian OTT crime drama. #NetflixIndia #ThrillerSeries #IndianWebSeries
