Inspector Zende Trailer Review: Manoj Bajpayee Shines in This Thrilling ‘Saanp Ki Khoj’ with a Side of Rishi Kapoor Fun
Cop dramas and cat-and-mouse chases continue to be fan favorites on OTT platforms, and Inspector Zende is the latest addition arriving on Netflix. Manoj Bajpayee steps into the shoes of Inspector Zende, ready to thrill viewers as he hunts down one of the most wanted conmen, played by the charismatic Jim Sarbh.
From the very start, the trailer hooks you with its humor and energy, keeping the smiles coming right through to the end. Instant laughs pop up throughout—like Jim Sarbh’s character being introduced as Carl Bhojraj instead of the infamous Charles Shobhraj. And then, Bhau Kadam adopting the alias “Rishi Kapoor” is a standout moment that had me cracking up!
The high-stakes cat-and-mouse game between Manoj Bajpayee and Jim Sarbh, supported by a quirky police team including Marathi theatre legend Bhau Kadam, promises to be both thrilling and hilarious. Their camaraderie feels like the perfect spice that elevates Inspector Zende beyond the usual cop drama. Manoj Bajpayee’s portrayal carries shades of his iconic Shrikant Tiwari role—but in a fresh, lighthearted way that never feels overdone.
The dialogues are sharp and funny, helping set the tone. One memorable line has Bajpayee declaring, “Mongoose saanp ka baap hota hai,” while humorously calling himself a “mongoose without a tail” — a witty metaphor that perfectly fits the film’s vibe. The true highlight of the trailer is the electrifying face-off between its two leads. Bajpayee exudes a mix of cunning and quiet resolve, embodying a man who’s seen it all, while Jim Sarbh brings an irresistible charm and intensity to his role as the elusive conman.
Though there’s a hint of Shrikant Tiwari nostalgia, it feels like Inspector Zende is carving out its own unique identity. But if I had to pick the winning moment? It’s definitely the hilarious “Rishi Kapoor” cameo by Bhau Kadam — stealing the show with pure comic gold!
