The series is set in the fictional town of Aranyak, and revolves around the love story between two characters: a young girl, Priya, and her older brother, Rahul. The series is set to be a love/hate affair because it’s a cliched and disappointing murder mystery.
You’ve got your shady government officials, the polar opposite detectives working together and the damsel in distress that needs saving. This is certainly no Sacred Games, and the writing is questionable at the best of times. ..

Mahadev tells the story of how he and his wife, Sunita, were driving home from a family gathering when they saw a man walking down the street with a large black cat on his shoulder.

The first episode of Aranyak is a bit rough, but the story does start to develop. The shorter episode run-time helps in that respect, while the mystery is just enough to keep you interested.
The show has some good and bad writing throughout, with some ill-timed jokes and an utterly bizarre and unearned romance.

Billed as the Indian Mare Of Easttown, Aranyak awkwardly attempts to blend supernatural and gritty crime together but falls short of expectations.
