Netflix Thriller Gajab Raat Explores Corruption and Investigation in Delhi
Gajab Raat is a Netflix thriller centered on Ajay Nirvit, a corrupt Delhi police inspector played by Manoj Bajpayee, who investigates a grievously injured woman found on the streets. The case draws attention from rival agencies including the CBI and NIA, revealing a complex web involving corruption, conspiracy, and powerful interests. While Bajpayee's performance is widely praised, critics note the film's pacing issues and an unconvincing moral transformation of the protagonist. The story unfolds over one night, blending dark humor with a bureaucratic thriller set in Delhi's underbelly.
