A scintillating psychopath story led by a towering Performance by Sonakshi Sinha Dahaad is intricately written, slow burn cat and mouse chase which grows on with every passing episode. The screenplay gives apt time to every character involved to shine individually and collectively. It inculcates relevant issues of dowry, caste discrimination, infidelity, internal family conflicts and stays true to each idea why exploring it with care. Reema Kagti's story is articulated brilliantly in this sensitive investigation procedural. The show feels a bit stretched and could have easily cut short to 6 episodes rather than 8. The pacing is like a slow poison whicj keeps getting better. Sonakshi Sinha in excellent as the fearsome cop which resonates with her personality. Vijay Verma is unflinching and menacing as the antagonist. He is at his usual best as a classic pyscopath. Gulshan Devaiah and Sohum Shah gets due time on screen and are spectacular as well. The casting choises are fantastic and is pitch perfect. The ensemble cast is just marvelous as they get the Rajasthanu diction with perfection. Overall, Dahaad is excellent drama and hits you like a fine wine which grows on you gradually. Its a well edited, researched and written product with solid performances but has a an extremely bothering runtime which may annoy a few folks. Its still recommended for its relevance in modern times.
