Khakee: The Bengal Chapter – A Familiar Tale with a Bengali Touch Khakee: The Bengal Chapter  tries to replicate the success of its predecessor but feels predictable despite its gritty setting. Led by Prosenjit Chatterjee and Saswata Chatterjee, the series captures Bengal’s criminal underbelly but settles for clichés—an upright IPS officer, a cunning politician, and a ruthless don. While the Bengali cast adds authenticity, the storytelling lacks depth, and unresolved plot threads weaken the impact. The series teases gripping moments but ultimately delivers a routine crime drama that never fully surprises. #KhakeeBengalChapter #CrimeThriller #BengaliCinema #GrittyButPredictable #KhakeeTheBengalChapterOnNetflix # NeerajPandey Directed By - Debatma Mandal & Tushar Kanti Ray Streaming Partner - Netflix Release Date - March 2025 Season 1 | Episode - 8 Cast - #Jeet, #ProsenjitChatterjee, #ChitrangdaSingh, #SaswataChatterjee, #RitwikBhowmik5, #AadilKhan, # ParambrataChatto...
