Six Trailer Breakdown
What is Mandira Bedi’s muder mystery series ‘Six’ all about ?
The trailer begins with muder of a prominent businessman. Ruhana Dhulap, a top cop and the investigating officer to whom the case is given, refuses to believe her colleague’s opinion that the murder is actually a suicide.
We learn that Ruhana knows that before the man’s death, he met six different women in six different places. She believes that at least one of these women is linked to his death.
We see Ruhana interrogating these women one by one and they all deny any involvement. She takes on a rough edge during her interrogation and we learn that she has a no-nonsense approach. She retaliates ferociously when one of the women tries to manipulate her. Also, all suspects have quite distinct personalities.
The show has a female lead which is quite an achievement since movies and web-series in the muder mystery genre generally have male leads. The female roles tend to revolve around playing the helpless victim.
Mandira Bedi slips into the character of Ruhana Dhulap, an investigating officer, easily. Though her acting is to be on point, the fidget spinner in her hand, which we see multiple times in the trailer, seems to be a clue.
Fidget spinner is used by people to relieve anxiety and help with neurological disorders like ADHD. If the creators have a hidden motive by this easter egg then it is relevant. I really hope it’s not just a prop supposed to look cool.
It is also reported that each episode of this series will only be 10 to 15 minutes long.
The show seems to have a very fast pace and an intriguing storyline. I'm looking forward to watching it.
The show will start airing from 27th May on Disney+Hotstar.
