Ajay Devgn makes his digital debut with Rudra, the Indian adaptation of international series, Luther, with Rajesh Mapuskar as the director. It revolves around how a cop, suspended for breach of conduct, is back in the police force to uncover multiple twisted crimes happening in Mumbai. He has his own way of functioning, which brings in the element of thrill in the narrative.
The investigative thriller starts well with Rajesh Mapuskar taking no time to get into the business. Right from the beginning, you are drawn into this dark world of crime and drama, wherein the cops face their demons to safeguard the city. The tone of the series is set from the word go, and one is invested to see the approach taken by Rudra to resolve the conflicts. While the screenplay format is episodic, with a new case in every episode, there’s a common thread that runs all through the episodes to hold the grip over all characters and their backstories.

 

 
The pacing is a little slow, with various sub-tracks driving the viewers away from the core, but yet, the premise has enough meat in it to hold attention. The pace dips from the middle of the first episode with ample time put in to showcase the emotions, and there is a crime scene in the second episode that’s resolved in no time making you wonder about the reason for the entire build-up through the episode. But these are minor flaws, as the larger picture in the writing front is gripping.
