Randeep Hooda takes on the lead role once again with Netflix’s crime thriller – CAT. The web series sees a parallel narrative spanning two crucial timelines in Punjab, that shape the fate of one man and his family – Gurnam Singh. It also features Hasleen Kaur and Suvinder Vicky in key roles. We watched the first two episodes a week ago, and here’s our review of the Netflix series here.
CAT Direction
Due credit to creator Balwinder along with his team of directors for being able to bring authenticity to the series. During our conversation, he had spoken about how they’ve shot the series in Punjab, with real people, and real locations, and we’d say that shows. This one is an intelligently directed show that gives you the right kind of build-up, a lot of which has to do with the way the story is executed. Arvind Krishna’s cinematography works like a charm!
CAT Story
CAT narrates the story of Gurnam, who in an attempt to save his brother’s life, who is a drug peddler, is compelled to go back to being an informant. He used to be one during the Insurgency of the 1990s as CAT, but he now has to tell on the terrifying Drug Mafia of Punjab. This, leads him to come face to face with his dark past. Will he be able to rise through politics, corruption, and crime to bust the drug cartel or will he go down the rabbit hole in this cat-and-mouse chase? Well, for that, you’ll have to watch out for the series.
