Indian Predator: Murder In A Courtroom Recasts Crime & Punishment | Season 3 of the true crime saga centres on the 2004 lynching of gangster Akku Yadav in a Nagpur court, by a mob of women. | | | NETFLIX'S TRUE CRIME SERIES Indian Predator is getting better with every edition. In its third instalment, it presents the case of Akku Yadav, a criminal lynched by a mob of hundreds inside a courtroom. A mix of dramatised recreations of actual events and interviews with victims, those accused of murdering Akku, his former friends, and journalists familiar with the case (among others), Indian Predator: Murder In A Courtroom is a riveting watch. The makers never once attempt to sensationalise the proceedings with depictions of graphic violence. The recreations are restrained yet manage to impart the requisite amount of drama and suspense. | | | You'll be left teary-eyed as Puneeth addresses you from his time out in the wild in his last film, Gandhada Gudi. | Rating: 4.5/5
