The new SonyLIV show
Kathmandu Connection takes the second half of its title seriously. Links are drawn between a kidnapping in Delhi, a custom official’s death in Allahabad and a casino in Nepal’s capital, from where blank calls are being made to a television reporter (Aksha Pardasany).
There’s a fourth, hidden strand interlocking events in the thriller, written by Siddharth Mishra and directed by Sachin Pathak. Once disbelief has been suspended and niggling questions have been swept aside – can a pair of off-duty Indian police officers really afford to take off to Nepal? – the twist-laden retro entertainer offers a welcome variation on the cops-gangsters formula.

“Kathmandu Connection” is a cop-and-gangster drama that tries doing more than use these prototypes to set up a crime thriller. The series reserves a twist of events as the episodes unfold, focusing on how lines can often blur when it comes to setting apart the good and the bad, the lawkeeper and the law-breaker.
The world of OTT fiction mostly dwells in such grey zones, and Sachin Pathak’s six-episode sticks to norm. There are no heroes, no villains. The cop who is obsessed with cracking a high-profile case is driven by interests beyond ensuring justice, just as the gangster who coldly eliminates rivals in the dark world of crime lives by a code, loves from the heart.
