About Khakee: The Bengal Chapter
Khakee: The Bengal Chapter is a 2025 Netflix Indian crime drama, told in Hindi and Bengali, that forms part of Neeraj Pandey's Khakee franchise. Set in Kolkata in the early 2000s, it follows an upright IPS officer, Arjun Maitra, who is tasked with dismantling an entrenched crime syndicate that has woven itself into the fabric of the city. The story frames a sustained power struggle between the police and an organized network that draws cover from political patrons, with the city itself serving as both battleground and stake.
The series builds its tension around duty and institutional resolve rather than spectacle. Maitra assembles a small unit and works methodically to expose how the syndicate operates, how it launders influence, and how it shields itself behind respectable faces. Across seven episodes the narrative widens from a single investigation into a portrait of a system in which crime, money, and politics reinforce one another, and where an honest officer must decide how far the law can bend before it breaks.
Anchored by a large Bengali ensemble led by Jeet, Prosenjit Chatterjee, Saswata Chatterjee, and Parambrata Chattopadhyay, Khakee: The Bengal Chapter leans on its Kolkata setting for texture, treating the conflict as a contest of wills among men who each believe they serve a kind of order. The Khakee banner, established by earlier installments centered on police procedure and moral cost, carries forward here in a regionally rooted story about the price of standing against organized power.
