Dahaad Twitter Review: Sonakshi Sinha And Vijay Varma Starrer Wins Praise

Sonakshi Sinha made a terrific OTT debut with the Amazon Prime series Dahaad. The psychological crime thriller was created by Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti and directed by Kagti and Ruchika Oberoi. Featuring Sonakshi Sinha in the lead, Vijay Varma, Gulshan Devaiah, and Sohum Shah play pivotal roles in the eight-episode web series.

Dahaad is set against the backdrop of a small town near Jaipur, Rajasthan, where the police are investigating the mysteriously connected murders of several young women. Anjali Bhatti (Sonakshi Sinha) is a Sub Inspector who works alongside Station House Officer Devi Singh (Gulshan Devaiah).

Initially assumed to be suicides, Bhatti establishes links between several deaths and the presence of a serial psycho-killer, Anand (Vijay Varma) on the loose. The narrative then becomes a cat-and-mouse chase between the police and the killer.

While a small portion of Twitter users feel the narrative is slow-paced, the majority of netizens laud Dahaad as a worthy binge-watch, and praised the cast. They deem Sonakshi Sinha's role as Anjali Bhatti her career-best performance. Here are a few snippets from what Twitter users are saying about the web series.

Praising the cast, a user wrote that the entire cast of Dahaad has given an impressive performance. They said that all the credit goes to the makers for bringing the best out of all the actors. They also added that Vijay Varma will leave you mesmerised and his menacing glance would be enough to scare you.

An ardent Vijay Varma fan tweeted that he was probably their favourite actor at this point. They wrote that while Gulshan Devaiah and Sonakshi Sinha delivered brilliant performances, Varma’s creepiness is beautiful and spine-chilling.

Summing up their review in a gist a user said that Dahaad was a complex cat-and-mouse chase. It shined in the areas of direction, performance, and character building but was constrained a bit in terms of screenplay. They added that the narrative was layered and the characters are well explored.

Another user found Dahaad to be an excellent web series. They praised Sinha for delivering a stellar performance and added that Varma was a "tour de force".

Speaking about the cons of the show, a Twitter user commented that even as a huge fan of Reema Kagti, they found Dahaad to be a "dull and exhaustive". They added that the screenplay was good but didn't keep audiences engaged.

Another user found, Dahaad to be one of the finest webseries on Indian OTT platforms. They explained that it had brilliant performances, a gripping script, and is very engaging.
