Indian Predator: Beast of Bangalore A guy from a village in Karnataka, lives in Bangalore, and has a weird kind of * of collecting women's undergarments, his name was Umesh Reddy. He also attacked many women and assaulted them sexually. One of those women became mentally disturbed, she couldn't even say anything in her defense. Later on, the court acquits him in most of those cases on the basis of lack of proper evidence. The evidence police found through investigation wasn't acceptable in court and the kind of evidence the court wanted could not be made available. During investigation and trial, he was successful in escaping many times from police's custody. He gets a death sentence but finally it gets converted to life imprisonment and he is still behind bars.

The case in reality was definitely really shameful. However, the series fails to give us goosebumps. The thrill and fear doesn't comes in mind that much because they just keep talking and talking each minute. I guess this is what documentary is probably. Also, everyone is contradicting each other, it creates confusion and makes it boring to watch. I never watched any documentary before but this doesn't gives that much details. Do not think that I have no problem with what happened in reality. I am just talking about this series, nothing to do with reality. In fact, I believe he should have been sentenced to death.

I did not know this story until I watched this documentary. One thing is quite clear police could have stopped him earlier if not for their incompetence. This brutal criminal escaped not once but 5 times!!! How incompetent can our Indian police be. Coming to series itself it makes us question the accountability of police and how the law is broken and go easy on the actual criminals. Whether it is due to a lack of informants or people refusing to share their experiences, the series seems lacking in terms of information and research. Episode two is a total mess story telling was so poor in this episode I slept watching it mid way. Women activists interviews don't make any sense I don't understand what they are saying. No police took the responsibility they just came to gain some air time. Feel bad for victims.

I watched the entire story as I was in college during 2003 and the fear of him being escaped from jail was clearly visible. My views here are 1. It fails to show how police department were in dark with such psychos at that time, he came out of nowhere and his crimes were beyond the sense at that time. (Include Dandupalya Gang) 2. It fails to probe the psychic mentality of the man, how few monsters are in our society and what their thinking is. 3. The failure of judicial system is not shown at all, except for the final Lady Judge, all other were equally responsible for his release. 4. It should have should how the police department did try to eventually convict him in these cases. And finally why were these two "women panelists" called at the end targetting masculinity of men? Is it a norm for Netflix.

I know this case in early 2000s when this was a sensational news and so many stories about umesh reddy used to come on media. The Netflix documentary is very slow. They have recreated the videos of violence committed by umesh but they never show it properly. The faces are blurred and not shown properly even in recreated videos. What is the use of adding recreated videos if it was not meant to be shown? The pace of the documentary is also very slow. Watching in 1.5x also feels slow. The interviews of many police officers were not needed at all. How did they solve the case, how did they gather evidence nothing was shown.

This documentary series was very difficult to go through, not because it was disturbing, but more so because I was in constant disbelief of the incompetency of the Indian police system and also how the activist speakers would sneak in every now and then to make it about something else entirely. This above everything should be about spreading awareness about these kind of psychopaths, creating a better environment for sexual victims so they feel comfortable coming forward and making sure such incompetent people are never in power of position who can blame women for such things instead of the criminals. The best thing this documentary does is expose how poor the justice system truly is, show how the mentality of the people in India is still a century behind and Women are trapped in an invisible cage. Not to mention the amount of times he was allowed to escape and in a way those lead to more murders. The murders he committed after running away, the blood of those victims' are in the police officers hand just as much as the killers.
