Bhushan Patel directed Dangerous was obviously designed as a two-hour film. But given the disruption caused by the pandemic, it has now been released as a series on MX Player. But since it has been broken into 7 episodes of about 18/20 minutes each, it has become a neither here nor there product. One thinks that it would have been better to release it as a film. For, the break in moving from one 'episode' to the next makes one lose interest in the purported thriller.
The story is predictable. A wife goes missing and the husband files a police report. The investigator assigned is an ex-flame of the husband. The needle of suspicion points to the husband before his friend, whom he had assigned as the driver of his wife's car to keep an eye on her movements, calls and demands a ransom. The investigating officer (Bipasha Basu looks beautiful in her comeback but has done better thrillers) is torn between duty and her love for the man. The wife has hidden secrets and there are many surprises thrown in. But there are too many unexplained sexual liaisons. The story never rises above the mundane and fails to engage the viewer.
Karan Singh Grover looks lost most of the times and has a fixed expression on his face. He is capable of better stuff as he had shown as Sudhir Kolhi in the web series Boss. Bipasha Basu has done a competent job but will take some time to get back in the groove. Other actors just do the fill-up job. The music by Mika (who has also turned producer) is good but the songs interrupt the action in such a short series. The cinematography is top-notch and captures London beautifully. Dangerous can be seen as a time pass.
