Overview
Directed by Sayantan Ghosal (known for his short films on rural crime), the season employs a documentary-style hand-held camera.

Most web series use standard Kolkata Bengali. Montu Pilot dared to use the Jharkhandi-Bengali dialect, complete with unique slang and cadence. For viewers from the border regions, it was refreshing; for urban viewers, it added an authentic layer of distance and lawlessness.
The series begins in the cramped, chaotic lanes of Kolkata, far removed from the polished high-rises. Montu is ambitious but trapped by poverty and a lack of opportunity. His entry into the crime world under the tutelage of the menacing gang lord Gagan (played with terrifying aplomb by Subrat Dutta) is gradual and believable.
