Dhahanam

The assassination of Sri Ramulu, a communist labourer, causes a stir. Sri Ramulu's oldest son, Hari, is a Naxalite rebel operating from the forest using guerrilla warfare against the landlords, and the news of his father's death infuriates him. He takes it upon himself to find the person responsible for his father's murder, which sparks a conflict between the village's most powerful goons.

Directed by Ram Gopal Varma, Dhahanam leans on a strong ensemble — Naina Ganguly, Isha Koppikar, Sayaji Shinde — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 2022.
