Delhi Crime's third season is a gripping thriller that takes Vartika Chaturvedi (Shefali Shah) out of her comfort zone and into a complex case of missing girls. As a DIG shunted to Manipur, Vartika must navigate her former team and a cunning foe, Meena (Huma Qureshi), who has a network of wrongdoers. The show's writers deserve credit for retaining the core identity of Delhi Crime, despite shifting the action from Manipur to Haryana, Mumbai, and Gujarat. The result is a thrilling ride with a talented cast, including Rasika Dugal, Rajesh Tailang, Sayani Gupta, and Mita Vashishth. Shefali Shah delivers a top-notch performance, but the show falters slightly in her characterisation. Huma Qureshi, on the other hand, shines as Meena, a menacing villain who effortlessly transitions from charming to cruel. Mita Vashishth steals the scene as the pimp Kalyani, bringing a relatable and disgusting humanity to her character. While Delhi Crime S3 is a great show, it's not without its flaws. The show's reliance on formula, particularly in the face-off between Vartika and Meena, is a disappointment. However, the gripping narrative and slick direction manage to prevent the show from falling into predictability. With its talented cast and engaging storyline, Delhi Crime S3 is a must-watch for fans of the series and thriller enthusiasts alike. However, it's a mixed bag, with moments of brilliance offset by formulaic storytelling. Overall, it's a great show that falls short of its predecessors, but still delivers a thrilling ride.
