This series, which is being produced by the renowned Sikhya Entertainment and Dharma Productions and directed by Umesh Bist, is expected to make a big contribution to the mystery and thriller genre. With a release date of August 9, 2024, on Zee5, “Gyaarah Gyaarah” is expected to transport viewers on an exciting journey spanning three decades.The popular Korean drama “Signal”, which is renowned for fusing supernatural and detective aspects in a novel way, served as the model for the television series.
But “Gyaarah Gyaarah” adds its own unique flavour by placing the plot in Uttarakhand’s scenic highlands, which not only makes the setting more visually appealing but also lends a mysterious element to the tale.The mysterious walkie-talkie that links two police officers in disparate timelines is the central theme of the story. Every day at precisely 11:11 PM, this walkie-talkie comes to life, facilitating conversation between Dhairya Karwa’s character, Shaurya Anthwal, a former police officer, and Raghav Juyal’s character, Yug, a young cop in the present. This unusual time-crossing technology turns out to be crucial to cracking a case that has been open for more than 15 years.The story starts in 1990 with a young girl named Aditi (played by Azaya Seth) being abducted during an Uttarakhand fair.
The crime remained unresolved despite the unwavering efforts of her mother, Sanjana Tiwari (played by Gautami Kapoor), casting a pall over the family. After Yug finds the walkie-talkie fifteen years later, it appears to be an ordinary device at first, but it quickly becomes clear that it is a time portal that connects him to Shaurya from the past.Despite their decades-long separation, the two officers collaborate to solve Aditi’s case. The story deftly switches back and forth between the past and the present, revealing bits and pieces of the enigma. Inspector Vamika Rawat, played by Kritika Kamra, is tasked with figuring out Aditi’s murder before the government dismisses all unsolved cases that are more than 15 years old.
Inspector Rawat is a key player in the investigation. As a resolute cop battling against institutional indifference and the passage of time, Kamra stands out for the depth and passion of her performance.The show’s narrative structure, spanning three decades—1990, 2001, and 2016—adds a layer of complexity that keeps the audience engaged. The shifting timelines not only create suspense but also allow for a deeper exploration of how the passage of time affects the characters and their pursuit of justice. The series beautifully blends elements of science fiction, mysticism, and traditional crime-solving, making it a multifaceted thriller that caters to a wide range of audience tastes.Strong character development is one of “Gyaarah Gyaarah’s” most notable features. Renowned for his dance skills, Raghav Juyal, as Yug, a man troubled by unsolved crimes and the need to bring justice, stuns the audience with a sophisticated and nuanced performance.
Juyal’s persona is enhanced by Dhairya Karwa’s portrayal of Shaurya Anthwal, who forms a dynamic combination whose chemistry heightens the attraction of the drama.The series holds the viewer’s attention with its compelling plot and excellent performances, even though there are times when the pacing could have been crisper, particularly when handling the multiple timeframes. In addition to adding aesthetic splendour, Uttarakhand’s use as a background heightens the creepy, mysterious aura that is key to the show’s concept.In summary, “Gyaarah Gyaarah” is a skilfully written thriller that shines due to its original idea, outstanding acting, and deft use of time travel as a plot device. With its intriguing and thought-provoking blend of mystery, science fiction, and drama, the show promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Fans of the thriller genre should not miss this series, which makes its Zee5 premiere.
