Flesh is a 2020 Indian crime thriller web series written by Pooja Ladha Surti and directed by Danish Aslam. [2] [3] The story of this series is based on human trafficking and stars Swara Bhaskar in the lead role. [1]
The storyfollows ACP Radha Nautiyal, a tough and unorthodox cop, as she investigates the disappearance of a teenage girl, Zoya, which leads her into the horrifying underworld of human trafficking. As Radha unravels a deeply rooted and violent sex trafficking network operating between Mumbai and Kolkata, she encounters psychopathic criminals, systemic corruption, and the brutal exploitation of countless girls and children. The series also follows a parallel story of two abducted siblings, highlighting the widespread and inhumane nature of the trade. With raw storytelling, intense performances, and unflinching visuals, Flesh exposes the dark realities of trafficking while questioning privilege, justice, and the human cost of indifference.
The first motion poster featuring Mahima Makwana, Swara Bhaskar and Akshay Oberoi was launched on 10 August 2020 by Eros Now social handle. On 11 August 2020, the trailer of the show was released. [3]
Flesh received generally positive reviews from critics. Shubhra Gupta, one of the authors of The Indian Express, writes, "Flesh smartly manages to maintain that very tough balance, between showing us repulsive, depraved people doing repulsive, depraved things, and keeping us watching, despite ourselves." [5] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV particularly praised the performance of the lead actors, Swara Bhaskar and Akshay Oberoi. [6]
