If and when I can spare just about forty minutes, i watch Crime Patrol as the cases in that serial are based on facts, though they get presented fictionally. Often, in that serial, there is a cross section of versions of the Iago's and Macbeth's one thought one met only in fiction.
Even then, the incident I saw this lazy evening was indeed a shock. Apparently, it took place in Sholapur of all the places. The story had convolutions and distortions that could shame a potboiler masala movie. It showed how a 'man may laugh and laugh, and yet be a villain'. In addition to using all the desperate tricks for subtly furthering his cause, he used viruses and medical technology as his tools, a scary possibility absolutely probable, too.
The only irritating aspect of this 'truth-based fiction', often presented as a suspenseful who-dunn-it, is the police department therein. Except for the rule confirming two per cent exceptions therein, the real life police department is hardly so very committed, efficient and effective. No wonder, Coleridge discussed "willing suspension of disbelief"!
Pratima@ Real more truthful than the reel! Or vice versa?
