The show is centred on a conflict between RAW (Research and Analysis Wing) agents who are trying to uphold their national security, and terrorists threatening their nation. Riyaz Pathan is one of the chief agents who is determined to maintain his duties, and protect his nation. However, as the plot thickens, he begins to question his duties as a RAW agent, and his moral duties in service to the civilians of his nation. The question that builds the series’ tension, and plagues Riyaz Pathan is whether one’s morality should he overlooked for one’s duties.

Moreover, he has to deal with hostility from one of his colleagues, Zorawar. Zorawar is shown to despise Riyaz, and throughout the story, is seen conniving against him, and dragging him down through office politics. Apart from Zorawar, the series depicts the incompetence of certain other agents, and their prioritising office-politics over their duties, making them a liability during the mission. In the midst of these obstacles, along with some shocking plot-twists, the journey of these characters are engaging, and packed with drama, and thrill that will keep you entertained, and might bring you some shock!

The narrative of the show depicts a quest, by the RAW agents, to find a terrorist through an undercover operation that is thrilling, and dangerous. In search of this terrorist, Riyaz Pathan encounters a woman, named Divya, who is the doppelganger of another terrorist, and the lover of the terrorist known as Zaheed. Divya resembles Mariam, who was previously killed in an operation that had been undertaken by the RAW agents, and is made to join this covert operation by Riyaz Pathan. She is trained by the agents in military, and guerrilla tactics so that she can assist in this operation to capture one of the most dangerous terrorists.

The capture of the terrorist, however, does not end the problems of the agents, rather it increases them. With the capture comes the unravelling of a greater scheme that poses a threat to the national security. The unravelling of this scheme compels the agents to face political complications, and the possibility of them being the cause for this national threat.

Moreover, questions of morality, and the fine line between protection, and execution are brought to the forefront of the narrative, making it more than a well-paced, and interesting thriller. As the agents deal with the grey areas within their duties, and attempt to navigate the political hurdles placed before them to uncover this scheme, the identity of Divya, and her motivations become increasingly suspect. Where does her allegiance lie? And is she who she says she is?

This series features a compelling political drama that incorporates theme of morality, and responsibility. It is a complex spy-thriller that is addicting, and will keep you guessing, and second-guessing. Its story begins in Mumbai, and continues in Srinagar, Delhi, and Nepal. So, if you’re interested in experiencing this thrilling, and marvellous web-debut by Apoorva Lakhia, then you should head on to the streaming platform, Voot.
