Cast[edit]

Review[edit]

Tigmanshu Dhulia's stories often run with an undercurrent of characters commenting on contemporary politics.[20] "The Great Indian Murder" is woven around a high-profile murder based on Vikas Swarup's breakthrough novel "Six Suspects." The presence of several political events can be felt in "The Great Indian Murder." It is a complex story with many social undertones. Examples include allegations of espionage of politicians, misuse of CBI for political gain and loss, crooked sons of politicians intoxicated by power, politicians conspiring to any extent to fulfill their political ambitions, fake religious leaders, Naxalism, etc. The story is pieced together through a CBI investigation into the murder of Vicky Rai. A series steeped in suspense, it has been praised by most critics.[21][22] Every character is written well, which keeps the audience engaged with the story. Tigmanshu Dhulia's direction and the actors' performances have received critical praise.[23][24]
