A mediocre series with below average acting by everyone. The show never sticked to its original story of organ trafficking.
Only Ritwik Bhowmik made somewhat impact with his acting.
The airport scene in last episode was hilarious.
This webseries is so well written & directed. Kudos to the whole team👏🏻.

Khakee the Bengal chapter, absolutely goated one. What I liked most is they brought Jeet's potential acting skills on screen.

Good watch.
When your core cast and crew are from the place where your show is set in, the content automatically comes out authentic. 2 episodes into Khakee : the Bengal chapter and its technically rich, casting is effin great, performances are strong. Loving it so far.

Khakee: Bengal chapter review:
— Suvranil Das (@DasSuvranil) March 21, 2025
Despite few loopholes, khakee the bengal chapter is a good series with terrific performances,added with perfect screenplay,especially in episodes 4 to 7,where audiences will get entertained, thrill,added with violence.
Rating: 8/10(Recommended).
Despite having a brilliant cast, #KhakeeTheBengalChapterOnNetflix fails to replicate the intensity of its predecessor. It lacks the grit & depth needed for a crime thriller. The plot is predictable & the character arcs are underwhelmeing. It's a mediocre watch & I'd rate it 2/5.

#KhakeeTheBengalChapter - Promising start, but predictability takes over.

Crime angle and twists add some intrigue, but remains a routine formula thriller, lacking thrills and edge-of-the-seat moments.
Good in parts, but series feels stretched.@NetflixIndia pic.twitter.com/GVmx1M9xhc
It's a pure class show with True blue Neeraj Pandey touch. What a Gritty, Engaging, Thrilling experience.

Must, Must watch! 👏 & It's a better show than the first one BIHAR CHAPTER.
Man of the match - @jeet30! 💥
U just loved his AURA throughout the show. #KhakeeTheBengalChapter pic.twitter.com/IGPb1zvWmn
#KhakeeTheBengalChapter is well made. The cast is exciting. Prosenjit is brilliant as Barun Roy. Jeet is stoic as Arjun Maitra. Sagor & Ranjit are fine. I expected so much more from Chitrangada as Nibedita but alas. Here's the problem 1/n
