## Spoilers
### Premise
Aditya Dhanraj ([Karan Singh Grover](https://www.edgepedia.org/karan-singh-grover)) is a young entrepreneur whose wife Diya (Sonali Raut) goes missing. When he turns to the police for help, the case is assigned to his ex-girlfriend, officer Neha Singh (Bipasha Basu). The investigation raises the possibilities of murder, kidnapping, or business rivalry, and uncovers a troubled marriage along the way.[1](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/mx-player/dangerous-an-mx-exclusive-series/webseriesshow/77505084.cms)
Over the seven episodes, Diya's chauffeur Vishal ([Suyyash Rai](https://www.edgepedia.org/suyyash-rai)) is found injured in a hospital, a kidnapper demands ransom from Aditya, and suspicion falls on Aditya himself. Neha learns that Diya was taking antidepressants and was having an affair with Vishal, who was deceiving both husband and wife. In the finale, Neha must choose between her love for Aditya and the truth she has uncovered.[1](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/mx-player/dangerous-an-mx-exclusive-series/webseriesshow/77505084.cms)
## Production
**From film to series.** The project was envisaged by Vikram Bhatt as a thriller film for theatrical release and was later converted into a web series.[6](https://www.binged.com/streaming-premiere-dates/dangerous-hindi-web-series-streaming-online-watch-on-mx-player/) Scroll.in described the result as a movie split into seven episodes of barely 20 minutes each.[3](https://scroll.in/reel/970296/dangerous-review-web-series-with-bipasha-basu-and-karan-singh-grover-is-harmless) Rediff's reviewer likewise wrote that the series seemed like a film snipped into portions, with episodes a little over 20 minutes long and abrupt endings.[7](https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/dangerous-review/20200814.htm)
**Casting.** Dangerous marked Bipasha Basu's digital debut and reunited her on screen with her husband Karan Singh Grover after five years.[6](https://www.binged.com/streaming-premiere-dates/dangerous-hindi-web-series-streaming-online-watch-on-mx-player/) In an interview around the release, Basu said she was a fan of investigative stories and excited to play a detective, and that she trusted Vikram Bhatt to write convincing thrillers.[8](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/web-series/bipasha-basu-dangerous-mx-player-vikram-bhatt-6548573/) The supporting cast includes Suyyash Rai, Sonali Raut, Natasha Suri, and Nitin Arora.[6](https://www.binged.com/streaming-premiere-dates/dangerous-hindi-web-series-streaming-online-watch-on-mx-player/)
**Producers and music.** Singer-composer Mika Singh produced the series and, according to Rediff, sang nearly every song on the soundtrack.[4](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9444348/fullcredits/) • [7](https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/dangerous-review/20200814.htm) In a later account, [Mika Singh](https://www.edgepedia.org/mika-singh) alleged that the production budget rose from Rs 40 million (Rs 4 crore) to Rs 140 million (Rs 14 crore) because of what he described as tantrums by the lead couple, and that he had originally planned the series around Karan Singh Grover with another female lead before Bipasha Basu asked to join.[9](https://jammubulletin.com/epaper/admin/paper/1741030162Page%207.pdf)
## Reception
Critical response was negative. The [Hindustan Times](https://www.edgepedia.org/hindustan-times) review judged that the climax of the seven-part series was visible from two episodes in, and advised viewers to keep expectations in check.[10](https://www.hindustantimes.com/tv/dangerous-review-bipasha-basu-karan-singh-grover-attempt-to-cook-up-a-storm-but-serve-it-cold/story-2ImccqeymPLiFDFZdOolNL.html) Scroll.in called the series harmless but found the screenplay barebones, the dialogue half in English and apparently written on the fly, and the identity of the culprit obvious given the small cast.[3](https://scroll.in/reel/970296/dangerous-review-web-series-with-bipasha-basu-and-karan-singh-grover-is-harmless) Rediff called it a thriller that does not invest the viewer, with clues visible to the audience while the characters remain oblivious, and a story relying on thriller tropes of the early 2000s.[7](https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/dangerous-review/20200814.htm) A review carried by INDIA New England News rated the series two stars out of five under the headline "Too amateurish to thrill."[11](https://indianewengland.com/review-dangerous-too-amateurish-to-thrill/) Audience ratings were similarly low: 2.8 out of 10 on IMDb from 461 votes.[5](https://www.justwatch.com/in/tv-show/dangerous)
## Distribution
The series streamed on MX Player, a free Indian platform whose streaming service is available only to users in India.[2](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/60632/dangerous) • [12](https://support.mxplayer.in/support/solutions/folders/43000578883) According to [JustWatch](https://www.edgepedia.org/justwatch), it was available on MX Player from October 2020 to May 2025 and became unavailable to stream in India after that.[5](https://www.justwatch.com/in/tv-show/dangerous) MX Player has since been folded into Prime Video as Amazon MX Player, with MX Originals content carried on that platform.[12](https://support.mxplayer.in/support/solutions/folders/43000578883)
