Gritty crime thrillers have become synonymous with Indian web series with every other streaming network releasing a new desi crime saga every month. However, only a few of these too-many-to-count gritty desi thrillers have been really impactful and even fewer have been able to develop a dedicated fanbase. Amazon Prime Video’s Mirzapur, starring Pankaj Tripathi in lead, has probably been one of those few shows that were impactful and at the same time were able to create a fanbase. The impact of the show has been such that many criminal acts along the lines of incidents shown in the series have come to light since the show first aired with the accused admitted being inspired by the series. However, the sole credit of this superhit genre doesn’t really belong to Mirzapur alone. It was Saif Ali Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui starrer Netflix original Sacred Games that first bought these mafia violence-laden stories into the spotlight. Anyhow, since the third season of Mirzapur is going to take a while, we bring to you some other thrilling Indian web series that we are sure you will enjoy binge-watching if Mirzapur is your favourite.
