Most of the cop based movies in Bollywood feature policemen as larger than life individuals who posses superhuman strength and ability to break laws to accomodate cinematic liberties. However, Netflix thriller show 'Delhi Crime' offers a accurate and grounded portrayal of police force of our country and it features fleshed out characters ranging from constables to high ranking officials.
In a recent chat with IANS, actress Shefali Shah, who plays DCP Vartika Chaturvedi in the show, said, “The grain of the show is that it’s very real. It’s very raw. They are not super cops, they are human. Their strengths and weaknesses are a part of them.”
Talking about her fellow characters from the show, the actress said, There is a Bhupinder, Neeti, Subhash and Vartika. They are real characters. They are not larger than life, they were never meant to be. They are human and they are not super cops. They are not completely right or wrong.”
Shefali concluded by saying, “They are trying to deal with a situation with the best of their abilities. I think it’s very different. Not just portrayal of cops, the show itself it is so raw. It’s almost like watching it voyeuristically.”
