After the tremendous success of the Bihar Chapter, Neeraj Pandey brought the Bengal Chapter, and as per the initial reviews, it has satisfied the audience. Several critics have called it a perfect blend of Tollywood and Bollywood, which isn’t something we have seen often in recent years.
Khakee: The Bengal Chapter: First series to be streamed on Netflix simultaneously in Hindi and Bengali
For penning Khakee: The Bengal Chapter, Neeraj Pandey joined hands with Samrat Chakraborty, a renowned Tollywood writer. The crime thriller series has an impressive star cast in leading roles featuring Jeet, Prosenjit Chatterjee, Parambrata Chatterjee and Chitrangada Singh. Debatma Mandal and Tushar Kanti Ray directed the series under the creative guidance of Neeraj Pandey. For the uninitiated, Khakee: The Bengal Chapter is the first show to stream simultaneously in Hindi and Bengali on Netflix.
One of the most-asked questions about Khakee: The Bengal Chapter on the internet is whether Neeraj Pandey’s web series is based on a real-life incident or it is completely a work of fiction. Unlike the Bihar Chapter, which sought inspiration from Amit Lodha’s memoir, Bihar Diaries: The True Story of How Bihar’s Most Dangerous Criminal Was Caught, the Bengal Chapter isn’t based on any real-life incident. Despite not having any direct connection with some historical events, the Bengal Chapter keeps viewers glued to their screens.┬а
