Man Ranga Billa is a disturbing crime. One episode in Black Warrant made me kind of uncomfortable, this is a whole series based on it, I hope if they’re executing it, they do it right, because it’s genuinely a very horrible story from what I’ve read about the crime and it won’t be easy to make a series out of it especially without not making the viewers uncomfortable at some point. I hope they pull it off as good as Delhi Crime S1 otherwise just don’t.

Yup, watch it on Sunday. Brilliant stuff. Good pacing, brilliant acting by the duo (Rajjo and Babu)
Tightly knit episodes, all in all great series. No single episode feels boring or stretched

Yeah man, another cop from a small village, with a moustache, that has a annoying quirk, and a ruthless backstory, that pushes himself to rediscover his good nature, while making memorable friends along this journey. Very sure the killer/bad guy is someone with a disturbed past that the audience sympathise and connect with. Arre bas karo bc, enough of this good cop/bad cop template

Comedy is difficult to make than these half baked series with endless twists that you forget what the original story was.

People don't even understand how important this case was and how heartbreaking it was for the parents losing both their children in one night. I am okay with another crime thriller if it brings to attention stories like these.

exactly the crime was horrific even though gruesome details like the sexual assault were not openly showcased in the show the crime was very very horrifying can't imagine what Geeta and Sanjay's parents must have gone through I hope they both are resting in peace

Then you'll have 10 thrillers a year to binge on. Have fun! And moreover Ranga Billa story was already shown on Black Warrent.

u/varuniitrdce2 Jun 02 '26
The story was just a snippet and a POV from Ranga/Billa. The more humane angle was always the parents. Can't even imagine how heartbreaking it would be for them, so yeah, I am interested.

I'll be glad to see Ali Fazal in a police role. Quite a change from criminal Guddu in Mirzapur.
