Naxalbari

Zee5’s Naxalbari makes for a compelling watch with the storyline of a Special Task Force (STF) agent Raghav (played by Rajeev Khandelwal), who’s on a mission to put an end to the revival of a Naxal uprising in his village called Gadchiroli, set in Maharashtra. This nine-episode web series is an edge-of-seat action drama in which the actors Aamir Ali and Rajeev Khandelwal shine throughout. Partho Mitra’s skillful direction is seen effectively backed by a solid screenplay and dialogues, in this highly charged drama.
