every topic has its own place in the grand scheme of things and cinema has always found a way to narrate stories with different characters from different backgrounds, but since this story is directly based upon the actual murders of geeta and sanjay chopra (whether or not it was explicitly stated, as i think we all have the brains to infer that correlation), it was hardly appropriate to butcher the names and characters from the actual case. while i'm all for activism, a web series entirely based upon the murders of two teenagers isn't the best place to start from, like it isn't even about how the gravity of the case is affected, but like genuinely what is the point of forcing random "representation" into this? it's like making a web series based on a true story and then the main protagonist is a police officer named dalit kumar dalit, like come on. our country has made a lot of content related to the empowerment and representation of minorities, and i am sure there won't be trouble creating more as we've got a lot of great minds working on it. all in all, not a bad watch, it was quite gripping mostly.
