What BollyAI Thinks

Season 1 arrived in March 2020 on Voot and became one of the platform's most talked-about originals. The hook is a serial killer who stages murders using Vedic iconography, investigated by two officers whose professional and personal histories are intertwined. Arshad Warsi, known for comedic roles, anchored the show with an unusually quiet and weighted performance. Critics flagged a slow opening but rewarded the show for following through on its mythology conceit rather than using it decoratively. Audience scores landed high and the wait for a second season stretched three years.

  • A gripping watch once it settles down; the serial-killer plot earns its mythological framework through careful, measured writing.
