In the last few years, mainstream filmmakers have discovered that Punjab has more to it than mustard fields, bawdy jokes, and belles dancing to the beats of Balle Balle. This week, writer-director Balwinder Singh Janjua paints a murky tale in the State scarred by insurgency and drug menace. The eight-episode series follows a police informant Gary alias Gurnam Singh (Randeep Hooda) who was roped in as a CAT to crush the militant groups after he lost his parents to the scourge.
Leading a mundane life where he works as a mechanic to give a better future to his sister and brother, Gurnam is called again by his handler Sehtab Singh (Suvinder Vicky), this time to infiltrate a drug ring that has his brother in its crosshairs. The cartel is being run by a powerful politician Madam Aulakh (Geeta Agrawal) and the Ghalib-spouting, scheming Sehtab has a bigger agenda that the earthy Gurnam could not fathom.
