The world of streaming is thriving in 2025, with multiple releases every single week since January. Netflix, in particular, has had some great additions—and some not-so-great ones too. The year for the streamer began with Black Warrant, a cop drama that was well-received and became a strong addition to the lineup of crime shows on streaming in India. Now, the streaming giant is set to release its second cop drama of the year, Khakee: The Bengal Chapter, helmed by Neeraj Pandey. A show that brings together the biggest Bengali talent under one roof, Khakee: The Bengal Chapter is one of the most anticipated series of the year. Below is everything you need to know about it.
Khakee: The Bengal Chapter is poised to redefine cop dramas, drawing viewers into a world where a brave police officer defends a fragile justice system against those in power. Set in the early 2000s, when gangsters and politicians wielded unchallenged authority, IPS Arjun Maitra emerged as a catalyst for change. Fearless and unwavering, this upright officer was determined to carve a path of justice amid the treacherous world of political intrigue, gang warfare, and shifting allegiances. Will he succeed in challenging the status quo and restoring order? (As per Netflix’s official website). Best of 2024: From Shekhar Home to The Penguin, 10 series and films to stream on JioHotstar.
