Cast

Plot

Shiraz Malik, an eight-time national badminton champion, served as the inspiration for this television series. It details every action that led to this expert shuttler being shot and killed as he left a stadium following a normal practise. The CBI began the investigation and found evidence pointing at a prominent politician and he was arrested. However, the conspiracy, the conspirators and the motive behind the murder are far more complicated than is apparent on the surface. [5] [6]

Release

The series was premiered on 1 January 2020 on OTT platform Zee5. [7]

Reception

Hindustan Times wrote "A few colourless comments by Sikander’s subordinate look like a forced attempt to add some humour but in vain. The forever silent brother of the late sportsman, who watches the court proceedings with moist eyes leaves the viewer with a similar expression." [8]

Critic Deepa Gahlot listed the series one out of ten political dramas on OTT. [9]

Amar Ujala rated the series 3.5 stars out of 5. [10]

Binged gave a negative opinion and wrote "The courtroom sequences feel so over the top and narratively inconsistent. The writing also gets weaker towards the end where it (the writing) becomes very crucial to engage." [11]

The Envoy Web wrote "An absorbing and sensational story-line could not be converted into an interesting fare by director Shashant Shah. He has faltered maybe owing to the need of balancing a true story with fictional liberties." [12]
