Very well made. Bihar of 90s and 2000s was a unique place - mafia, politicians and police often coalesced in each others territory. Some Criminals were hailed as robinhoods while at times police hardly put up any resistance to criminals and extortionists.

The sentiment of Bihar of those years has been succinctly captured in this series. Ashutosh Rana, Anoop Soni, Ravi Kishan & Karan Tacker have done parts very well.

Well researched series. Kumar sanu lives on in hearts and minds of people in interior of Bihar. Till date, it's impossible to cross any 'gumti/auto/condiments shop etc without hearing Kumar sanu's voice blaring saajan, phool or kaante,aashiqui songs. The references to casteist equation is hard to miss and has been quintessential to Bihar politics. Language, diction, slangs in series very well mirrors how majority of Biharis communicate.

Gangs of Wasseypur was released 10 years ago but the glass ceiling it broke, the unchartered territory it opened to stories like these from badlands & hinterland to be shown to pan India audience - will be permanently indebted to it.

Khakee - the Bihar chapter is a well made,damn good series. Shouldn't be missed!
