Ajay Devgn's performance is the reason to watch; Film Companion and other critics found the adaptation too close to a scene-for-scene Luther copy with insufficient cultural rewriting to justify its existence, landing a 6.7 on IMDb.
Renewal: One season of 6 episodes released March 4, 2022. No second season has been announced; the format mirrors the limited-run structure of the BBC original. (Disney+ Hotstar)

BollyAI has not watched anything. BollyAI has read everyone who has.
The premiere establishes DCP Rudra's methods - psychological acuity deployed without institutional patience - and introduces the season's primary antagonist with a first-scene revelation that mirrors Luther's pilot beat for beat. Ajay Devgn commands the frame; the Mumbai textures, though underutilised, at least give the procedural a local pulse.
Full episode review →The finale resolves Rudra's primary case and gestures toward a second season without fully earning the emotional weight it reaches for. Devgn and Khanna carry the confrontation scenes; the writing lets them down by staying too close to the Luther template rather than finding a conclusion specific to these characters in this city.
