CAT Web Series Review - Bollywood Petals

The new Netflix series CAT has touched the fairy dust of Bollywood and the soil of its Punjab setting. CAT is a crime thriller set against the backdrop of the Punjab hinterlands. Gurnam is thrown into a deep, drug trafficking conspiracy between gang lords, cops, and political powers. In CAT writer-creator Balwinder Singh Janjua brings rich local features.

Living under an alias, a former police informant is summoned to infiltrate a major drug empire but uncovers a dangerous connection to his dark past. Having lost his parents to a militant’s bullets at a young age, Gurnam becomes an informant in the Khalistani movement for Police Officer Sehtab Singh (Suvinder Vicky). Years later, when Gurnam’s brother is arrested for drug running, Gurnam goes to Sehtab for help. Sehtab wants a return gift: He gave Gurnam a  task to investigate infiltrating a cocaine racket run by the politician grandly known as Madam Aulakh (Geeta Agrawal) and her associate Shamsher (Jaipreet Singh). It is an open secret how Aulakh earns money by moving the powder from Pakistan to Punjab which has been exposed. But Sehtab Singh wants to free Punjab from its rampant drug problem.
