After Bard of Blood, Shahrukh Khan’s production company is back with a new show on Netflix, Betaal. This zombie horror stars Viineet Kumar Singh and Aahana Kumra in lead roles.
Written and directed by Patrick Graham and co-directed by Nikhil Mahajan, this series is based in a remote village that has turned into a battleground between British Indian Army officer Betaal, his troop of zombies, and the Indian police.
Well, if you are wondering if this show is worth watching or not, here are some tweets you can read before making your decision. Twitter has given it some mixed reactions. Check it out.
The best thing about #Betaal is that it is not like your typical horror series. The plot is fresh and unique and it has many elements to it.

Everyone should watch this series at least once. #BetaalOnNetflix @RedChilliesEnt @iamsrk pic.twitter.com/VZwH99wkEe
Watched #Betaal all 4 episodes. The best Horror series you can find on Netflix. Now i can say that indians are working hard and beautifully in horror genre. Can easily beat Tummbad which was a masterpiece in Indian Cinema. Do watch is Masterpiece 🔥 🧟♂️ #BetaalOnNetflix pic.twitter.com/oSdXIzGTJe

Over the top, predictable and has no logic whatsoever.
Going back to some good old episodes of The Walking Dead.

Netflix has finally got an Indian series they can feel proud about#BetaalOnNetflix @ItsViineetKumar @AahanaKumra @iamsrk @RedChilliesEnt @NetflixIndia @_GauravVerma pic.twitter.com/SfAWLOeOFb
Betaal tried to be unique but ended up as a mediocre horror/Zombie affair, Episode 1 & 2 is Fantastic as story & execution was very powerful but crashed in Ep 3 & 4 which turns out to be boring and less engaging, confused screenplay “AVERAGE”

#BetaalOnNetflix is not just bad. It adds to the lockdown frustration. Lose direction, confused performances, weak dialogues. It’s stuck in between commercial & realistic cinema.@iamsrk i can join red chillies as a content planner to help you decide on what to put your moneys on pic.twitter.com/ewCF34ki6D

Completed watching #BetaalOnNetflix ,
story has minor glitches, seems dragged a bit, could be completed in 3 episodes, ending not upto d mark, one observation #Betaal‘s look is molded based upon NightKing of GOT with exception of eye color. @AahanaKumra stands out.
Short yet powerful! #BetaalOnNetflix pic.twitter.com/eZHr90xk8q

BETAAL has a good flow of story with good horror scenes. The director has pulled right strings to create a tense and mysterious atmosphere. Must watch if you love zombie thrillers.@NetflixIndia #BetaalOnNetflix pic.twitter.com/WfoyMbPw1O

Liked the story,it consolidated the zombie genre in Indian cinema.But the acting is poor, especially that child,pathetic.Terrible miscasting.They had potential but ended up making it a home invasion drama.The red eyes of the zombies made them look like robots6/10#BetaalOnNetflix pic.twitter.com/HM6f1fZ3eV
