Indian Predator The Beast of Bangalore Review: Crime Doc series is starting to feel laboured
FirstpostIn a sequence from latest instalment of Indian Predator titled The Beast of Bangalore, a police officer tries to illustrate an accused’s second escape from police custody. Born in Chitradurga, a district located some 200 kilometres outside Bangalore, Reddy, a former police servant, exacted brutal violence on several women across state lines. The 3-episode series begins with the crimes, without really acknowledging the victims at length, and quickly moves onto the discovery of Reddy, his aliases, his history of crimes and the many minor twists and turns before he was eventually captured in Bangalore. Cinematic touches galore, Indian Predator is now beginning to look like a clever associative project aimed at widening the map rather than finding something worthwhile to say on it.
