Gaanth Chapter 1 Jamnaa Paar S01
Director: Kanishk Varma
Cast: Manav Vij, Monika Panwar, Saloni Batra, Sidharth Bhardwaj, Rajesh Tailang, Naved Aslam, Gopal Datt
Gaanth, Chapter 1: Jamnaa Paar (2024) is a brooding Hindi crime-thriller inspired by the unsettling Burari mass deaths. Across eight shadow-laden episodes, the series plunges into the eerie Chandel household where an entire family is discovered hanging under bizarre ritualistic circumstances. Tasked with investigating the incident is Inspector Gadar Singh (Manav Vij), a grief-stricken, suspended officer who returns to duty amid professional disgrace and familial pressures. Accompanying him is Sakshi Murmu (Monika Panwar), a psychiatry intern ostracized for her reserved background and possessing an uncanny talent for pattern recognition.

Under Kanishk Varma’s direction, the series builds a dense, claustrophobic atmosphere—hallways echo with dread, dim rooms hide secrets, and corridors become metaphors for narrative complexity. Pratik Deora‘s cinematography paints Delhi in grim tones, while Raghav and Arjun’s score heightens emotional disquiet. IMDb+7My Blog+7The Times of India+7
Performances anchor the unsettling world. Manav Vij’s Gadar is volatile yet compelling: his alcoholism and professional fall are palpable, yet a streak of moral stubbornness drives him toward truth. Monika Panwar impresses as Sakshi, articulating intelligence amidst alienation with subtle strength. Saloni Batra and Sidharth Bhardwaj, as members of the investigative team, lend steady balance to the tension-filled ensemble. Rajesh Tailang and Naved Aslam add gravitas in supporting roles.

The plot interweaves crime procedural with psychological portraiture—buried trauma, occult suggestion, media sensationalism—and frequently veers into over-plotting. While this can strain suspension of disbelief, the story gains traction through effective staging and emerging intensity. Scroll.inLeisureByteRediff
Reception was varied: critics praised its atmosphere, visual design, and bold imagination (especially considering the source inspiration), even while noting narrative convolution and pacing issues. With a 6.9/10 IMDb rating, the show earned respect for ambition if not flawless execution. Gadgets 360Rediff
In summary, Gaanth, Chapter 1: Jamnaa Paar is an immersive, unsettling police-journalistic thriller—texured with grief, sociology, and symbolic violence—serving as a haunting entry into Indian crime storytelling that signals potential in continuing chapters.
