Shaon Mondal

A neo noir perspective of hinterland India which delves deep into the layers of communalism, casteism,class divide and politics.The ensemble cast make a dream team of thespians playing their parts beautifully in harmony.Each character arc and their individual stories of transformation speaks to the Audience in a way that defies the usual paradigms of other investigative thrillers..Also the brilliant cross over reference to Sacred Games on the climactic episode is like the cherry on top !! Paatal Lok definitely defines the genre much like it's predecessors like Sacred Games or Mirzapur and takes the torch forward with it's water tight script and brilliant direction!
