Popular crime thrillers to revisit

Bhagwat Chapter 1: Raakshas

Bhagwat delves into a regional crime in a small town of UP where a police officer is tasked with the case of missing women from the town and must track down the elusive criminal. The more he delves deeper into the case, the more complicated it gets. Arshad Warsi and Jitendra Kumar's latest movie has garnered mixed reviews, with some websites calling it a gritty, potent crime thriller, vouching that it is worth a watch.

Maqbool

This multi-starrer movie features late actor Irrfan Khan, Tabu, Pankaj Kapur, Naseeruddin Shah, and late actor Om Puri. Maqbool is the Hindi adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth play. The story dives into the criminal world of Mumbai, where it's shown how ambition, greed, and betrayal can become the ultimate downfall of a person, no matter how much power they acquire. The story focuses on a henchman who falls in love with his crime boss’ mistress and plans to murder him.

Satya

Although the Telugu actor J D Chakravarthy made his Bollywood debut with Shiva in 1990, he got his fair share of recognition after Satya was released in 1998.  The film, which has earned the cult classic tag, follows how an unemployed man's life changes when he befriends a criminal in jail and joins his criminal empire and quickly rises through the ranks, becoming Mhatre's most trusted advisor.

Haider

Starring Shahid Kapoor, Tabu and Shraddha Kapoor, this movie is also loosely adapted from Shakespeare's Hamlet, which is set in the conflict-ridden Kashmir. Haider brilliantly portrays how vengeance, identity crisis, and political oppression turn a common person into a criminal. The story follows a young man named Haider's fight for justice when he finds out his mother remarries another man who is the potential murderer of his father.

Talvar

Irrfan Khan's movie is based on the real-life Noida double murder case from 2008. Talvar elaborately shows the controversial case from multiple perspectives, leaving audiences to question what really happened. The film follows the events after a teenager named Shruti Tandon and her family's house helper were found dead in their house in Noida. The film concludes with the girl's parents getting convicted based on circumstantial evidence.
