Gaanth, Chapter 1: Jamnaa Paar, the web series, began streaming in Jio Cinema on June 11, 2024. The crime thriller revolves around an under investigation mass suicide or murder incident.
The word ‘Gaanth’ in Hindi means a knot. The new web series ‘Gaanth Chapter 1: Jamnaa Paar’ tells the story of a mysterious mass suicide or murder, its investigation, and the involvement of a doctor. As the name suggests, the story’s plot is on the eastern banks of the river Yamuna, also known as ‘Jamnaa Paar’ and commonly referred to as east Delhi.
The web series has eight episodes, and the opening episode begins with the chilling deaths of six members of the Chandel family, including their pet dog. Manav Vij brings back suspended police officer Gadar Singh to investigate this horrifying mystery. The alcoholic Gadar does his job with integrity and honesty. Two of his assistants assist him.
In this case, the story takes another turn with the involvement of a young psychiatrist, Sakshi Murmu (played by Monika Panwar). With her own stories of depression and discrimination, Sakshi adds a psychological angle to the story. Kanishk Varma’s web series benefits greatly from the excellent acting performances of both Manav and Monika. The supporting cast also played their roles very well, adding to the mystery and tension.
