Hari Dass

Blood and Black (2024) isn’t your typical crime thriller—it’s one of those movies that grabs you by the collar and yanks you straight into the chaos. Hari Dass delivers something raw, almost gritty, with characters that feel like they’ve lived hard lives way before the opening credits even roll. There’s this relentless pulse throughout the whole thing; you’ve got a city that’s practically sweating secrets, and every alleyway hides something uglier than the last. The story follows Arjun, a detective who’s seen too much, honestly, chasing leads in a murder case that’s anything but straightforward. The victim? Not exactly innocent, and as Arjun digs deeper, the lines between good guys and bad guys start to smear together until you’re not even sure if the people you’re rooting for deserve it. There’s betrayal, plenty of moral gray, and the kind of violence that makes you wince instead of cheer. What really sets it apart, though, is how Dass handles the pacing. No dragging feet here—every scene feels like it matters. Dialogues snap, characters clash, and the tension never really lets up. By the time credits roll, you’re left questioning who actually won and whether justice even means anything in this world. It’s messy, complicated, and honestly? That’s what makes it stick with you long after you’ve left the theater.
