Paatal Lok (पाताल लोक transl. Underworld)
Sypnosis
"Series which gonna be remember for decades about its screenplay and super talented actors. It's what I call a well narrated story with mind blowing acting skills." - Alan Steve Mark
The series is inspired by the traditional concepts of Svarga, Dharti and Paatal (heaven, earth and the hell) and the four estates.Inspector Hathi Ram Chaudhary (Jaideep Ahlawat) has given up on his dream of being a successful cop since he is way past his prime.
The cop laments that he is a permanent member of the Paatal lok (underworld or netherworld according to ancient Hindu scriptures), and can only view Swarg lok (heaven where successful people reside) from a distance. He gets what he asks for as a pass to the upper realm in the form of a high profile crime case since it is the first time he is assigned to a case so important and solving it will earn him great honour and respect.
The cop investigates four criminal suspects — Vishal Tyagi (Abhishek Banerjee), Tope Singh (Jagjeet Sandhu), Kabir M. (Aasif Khan), and Cheeni (Mairembam Ronaldo Singh) for a failed assasination attempt on prominent TV journalist Sanjeev Mehra. However, things are not so straightforward and his instincts tells him to look into the suspects’ lives. He then rediscovers his responsibility as a cop, his place in the grand scheme of things and his meaning in life.
