Betaal review: Shah Rukh Khan’s Netflix zombie show is dead on arrival

Hindustan Times  

Betaal Creator - Patrick Graham Cast - Viineet Kumar, Aahana Kumra, Jitendra Joshi, Suchitra Pillai Betaal review: Viineet Kumar leads Netflix’s zombie horror series, co-produced by Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment. Whether or not there was one here, Netflix should’ve prayed harder, because its latest Indian offering, Betaal, is yet another high-profile misfire from a streaming service in desperate need of a resurrection. Boasting the involvement of big banners such as horror-specialists Blumhouse and Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment, among others, Betaal routinely undermines its own timely themes with an over-reliance on needless gore, cheap jump scares, and plot contrivances. Betaal is a goofy zombie show with poor makeup and cartoonish characters; a little humour would’ve killed nobody.
