A chilling real crime – a heinous murder using a slithering, live weapon- poisonous snake! Hats off to criminal creativity.
Aloke and Maanas Lal recreate the crime in flashbacks. While it’s not a whodunit, since the murderer is presented to us upfront, the real fun is in the nitty gritties of police investigation & their herculean struggle to build up substantial evidence.
Too often police in Bollywood films are either corrupt or dumb enough to mess up evidence. ‘Fangs of death’ deals with a systematic unfolding of the case buildup, the relevant IPC sections, the vital issues in an autopsy report, the thorough and painstaking struggle to build a concrete wall which can withstand scrutiny in court.
Real life photos of the concerned police and criminals adds to the feel of watching a Netflix docu- drama of real crime.
