Description
The Blue Bar is a gritty Mumbai police procedural where glamour and brutality share the same crowded streets. When construction workers uncover a headless, limbless body near Aksa Beach, Inspector Arnav Singh Rajput senses a pattern—one that echoes old, ignored files and the city’s habit of burying its women twice: once in the ground, and again in silence.
As Arnav digs, pressure mounts from above: wealthy developers, political fixers, and senior officers who want the investigation to disappear. Then a fresh dismembered victim turns up in the Versova mangroves—and Arnav’s personal life detonates when Tara, a bar dancer who vanished from his life fourteen years earlier, reappears. Her return ties the murders to the reopened dance bars, a mysterious “three-minute” railway-station test, and a predator who may be hiding behind a uniform.
