Grahan

Inspired by Satya Vyas' fictional novel "Chaurasi", the series "Grahan" is heart wrenching and spine chilling depiction of how brutal is brutal, unfolding two timelines - Ranchi 2016 and Bokaro 1984 and events of violence following the assassination of the then Prime Minister, Smt. Indira Gandhi on 31 October, 1984. Therein is a clear portrayal of how riots are provoked, how venom of hatred spewed by one person for self interest can blindfoldly turn people into mobs to walk on the road of vandalism. The horror, shadows of the carnage and violence of Bokaro Riots (1984) which blackened lives and aspirations of the Steel City. Without much spice this series has shown how people are fooled, instigated and driven towards hatred and violence by politicians and petty leaders, how neighborhoods, mohallahs, towns and villages thriving with diversity of people turn against each other.

It's cast Pavan Raj Malhotra, Anshuman Pushkar, Teekam Joshi, Wamiqa Gabbi, Sahidur Rahaman are apt in their characters. Zoya Hussain like always carrying her almost no make up approach since her debut film (Mukkabaaz) is organic in the role of the Investigating Officer. Amit Trivedi's music and Varun Grover's lyrics especially "Chori Chori" have made the series wholesome.
