The film is completed, but the screening takes a dark, unexpected turn.

However, Dhanbad Blues Season 1 is not without its flaws, common to early Hoichoi originals. The 10-12 episode structure occasionally feels stretched. At times, the show substitutes brooding silences for character development, and certain subplots involving peripheral Kolkata-based police officers feel like concessions to mainstream audiences, diluting the raw, Dhanbad-specific tension.
