About
"A chilling study of manufactured faith and power"
Bobby Deol plays a charismatic godman who runs a sprawling ashram in a small North Indian town, using spirituality as cover for exploitation, corruption, and control over desperate followers. The show tracks how ordinary people get pulled into his orbit and how far his influence reaches into local politics and power. It moves slowly, layering social commentary over a slow-burn crime plot, and leans heavily on Deol's unsettling, magnetic performance to hold attention through its deliberate, often bleak pacing.
Watch it for
Bobby Deol's quietly menacing performance as a godman who weaponizes devotion.
Maybe skip if
you want fast pacing rather than a slow, grim unraveling of institutional corruption.
