Released on November 13 on Netflix, Delhi Crime Season 3 places Huma Qureshi and Shefali Shah on the opposite sides of the law as the female-led show questions stereotypes and more.

Delhi Crime Season 3 X reviews: First impressions

Leaving fans impressed, Delhi Crime Season 3 has been titled as ‘dark, raw, and relevant’ by a user on X (formerly Twitter). “Yes, it’s not without flaws, but powerful. Shefali Shah is exceptional,” they added. Embodying the role of a woman based in Haryana, Huma Qureshi fits perfectly in the role. Describing her performance as ‘phenomenal’, a review read, “Huma Qureshi was phenomenal in Delhi Crime Season 3. Playing a character on the dark side isn’t easy, but she delivered it with chilling calm, layered emotions and absolute conviction…It takes serious talent to make viewers feel the weight of a character’s darkness, and Huma did that effortlessly. A commanding, unforgettable performance.”

“If the third season of Delhi Crime is a patient in the ICU, the terrific actors are its oxygen cylinders,” read a comment online. Lauding the Richie Mehta script, fans are commending the Tanuj Chopra directorial. However, it doesn’t exist without comparison, as some fans are calling the new season of Delhi Crime the ‘weakest one yet’. Some fans are calling it “a big-budget version of Savdhaan India.”

It is loaded with social commentary and hints at satire in certain scenes, which have resonated with critics. However, some even feel it is all driven by the star-power, less by the plot alone. As praises for the leading ladies rack up, the new season seems to be pulled largely by big names in the cast, imagery, and the gripping horror of the case itself.
