Black, White & Gray – Love Kills doesn’t just ask who did it—it forces you to question why you ever believed you knew right from wrong in the first place. Directed by Pushkar Sunil Mahabal and produced by Swaroop Sampat and Hemal A Thakkar, this taut, unnerving docudrama plunges viewers into a noir-tinged rabbit hole of twisted relationships, layered motives and deeply uncomfortable truths.At the centre of this mystery lies Daniel Gray, a driven, almost obsessive journalist tracking a string of murders linked to a young man from a modest background whose involvement in the crimes remains murky. But is he a manipulative killer, or a victim of a deeply unjust system? Is he predator or prey—or, as the title suggests, something in between?
From the very first minute, the series grabs you by the collar. It doesn’t gently introduce you to the case; it drags you straight into the crime scene, right alongside Gray. The narrative oscillates between dramatised reenactments and chillingly real-looking interviews, making it feel like you’re binge-watching a true crime documentary rather than a scripted show. It’s a masterclass in docudrama storytelling—raw, immersive and disturbingly believable.
Mayur More, best known for Kota Factory, turns in a quietly explosive performance that stays with you. Palak Jaiswal brings a compelling mix of vulnerability and resilience, while Deven Bhojani, in a striking departure from his comic roots, is unforgettably menacing. Tigmanshu Dhulia lends gravitas, while the ensemble cast—including Edward Sonnenblick, Hakkim Shahjahan, Anant Jog, and Kamlesh Sawant—flesh out a world that feels unsettlingly close to our own.

Each episode ends on a cliffhanger, urging you to hit ‘next,’ with tension that escalates steadily. A haunting score seeps under your skin, while moody, atmospheric cinematography heightens the sense of unease. The screenplay sustains a sharp pace without ever slipping into melodrama.Daniel Gray himself is one of the show’s greatest triumphs. Always lingering in the shadows, it’s through his eyes that we see the story unfold. The wordplay in the title—Gray as a surname and as a metaphor—is no accident. The finale lands with force, circling back to the series’ central theme: human behaviour is rarely pure white or pitch black. It’s all varying shades of grey.And that’s what makes the TV series Black, White & Gray – Love Kills more than just another crime show. It’s not merely about murder; it’s about the rot beneath societal structures—the patriarchy, the class divide—and how love, when tainted by power or desperation, can become its own kind of weapon. If you love crime but wish it came with better cinematography, stronger storytelling and characters that aren’t caricatures—Black, White & Gray – Love Kills is your next binge. Just be warned: it doesn’t offer clean answers. Only haunting questions.The show is now streaming on SonyLivAlso Read: HIT: The Third Case Review | Nani is the only thing that shines in this gritty gore fest(Edited by : Ajay Vaishnav)
