ZEE5 is gearing up for the release of its next intense crime drama, Bhagwat Chapter One: Raakshas, starring Arshad Warsi, Jitendra Kumar, and Ayesha Kaduskar in pivotal roles. Directed by Akshay Shere, the gritty thriller is set to premiere exclusively on October 17, 2025, promising viewers a suspense-filled narrative packed with shocking revelations and moral dilemmas.
Plot and Premise
Set in the heartlands of Uttar Pradesh, Bhagwat – Chapter One: Raakshas follows Inspector Vishwas Bhagwat (Arshad Warsi), a sharp yet tormented police officer, as he investigates the disappearance of a young woman named Poonam. What begins as a routine missing-person case soon exposes a web of lies, secrets, and a sinister prostitution racket operating in the shadows. – Bhagwat Web Series Starring Arshad Warsi and Jitendra Kumar
His path soon crosses with Sameer (Jitendra Kumar), a mild-mannered college professor whose calm demeanor hides disturbing truths. Their tense encounters form the crux of the story, raising deep questions about morality, justice, and the darkness that exists within human nature. The film builds a chilling psychological duel between two men standing on opposite sides of the law — or perhaps, not so opposite after all.
