News Topical, Digital Desk : There is often talk about new kinds of stories. In such a situation, when such stories come, they attract attention. Mandala Murders is based on the struggle between science and such powers that do not hesitate to take sacrifices to create a new world.
What is the story of the series Mandla Murders?
The story begins in 1952 in Charandaspur. There some women try to revive a dead man by converting energy with the help of Ayist Yantra. He belongs to the Ayist community, who have been wronged by the society. The villagers burn their house. From there the story comes to the year 2025. Vikram Singh (Vaibhav Raj Gupta), suspended from Delhi Police, is going to his village Charandaspur with his father (Manu Rishi Chaddha). The body of a press photographer who was with him in the train is found in the river the next day. His torso is missing.
Along with this case, Vikram also searches for his mother, who went into the jungle twenty years ago to save the life of her young son. CBI (Central Investigation Bureau) SP Riya Thomas (Vaani Kapoor) is assigned the task of investigating. Ananya Bhardwaj (Surveen Chawla) is also questioned in the case of the photographer's death, who is preparing to contest elections by taking charge of her ailing husband's political party.
It is necessary to watch each scene of the series carefully
Based on author Mahendra Jakhar's book The Butchers of Banaras, the screenplay and dialogues of this story have been written by co-director Gopi Puthran along with Anurag Goswami, Chirag Garg, Gabe Gabriel, Matt Graham, Avinash Dwivedi. From human sacrifice, defeating death, destiny, politics, police, black magic, boon, Hindustan's first nuclear plant, the story moves between past and present. However, what happens in the world around the characters in the meantime creates a disturbance.
There are so many layers and characters in the show that if you don't watch the episodes carefully, it will be difficult to connect the links. Despite that, the angle of Aayistis creating a new world and asking for blessings by paying the thumb to the Aayist Yantra is interesting. It is told in the show that the world of Mandala is yet to be understood, which is a hint of the next season. It is possible that the answers to the injustice done by society to the Aayistis will be found in the next season. Gopi, who showed Rani Mukerji in a strong style in Mardaani 2, has also presented the actresses strongly in this series. Cinematographer Shaz Mohammad, along with the art and production designers, has shown the difference between the past and the present very well.

Surveen Chawla is doing better with every series. Vaibhav Raj Gupta proves that he can do serious, layered roles with ease apart from comedy. Shriya Pilgaonkar surprises with her acting in the role of Mahamani Rukmani of the Aayistis.
