New OTT show 'Satrangi - Badle Ka Khel' announced

New ZEE5 series 'Satrangi' follows Bablu Mahto, a laund dancer's son, on a raw journey of honour, love, and revenge.

"The role challenged me to rely on internal strength, emotional control, and lived-in performances. - Anshumaan Pushkar"

Mumbai, March 31

A new show, 'Satrangi - Badle Ka Khel', is all set to be released on ZEE5 soon.

Directed by Jai Basantu Singh, the show features Anshumaan Pushkar, Mahvash, Kumud Mishra, Upen Chauhan, Saddam Sophia Hussain, Atul Kusum Sanjay, and B Shantunu, among others.

As per a press note, 'Satrangi - Badle Ka Khel' follows the story of "Bablu Mahto, the son of a Launda dancer, who is forced by circumstances to step into his father's shoes. Beneath this reluctant acceptance lies a burning desire for justice, as Bablu secretly plots revenge against the powerful Singh family. As he navigates a life filled with societal stigma, complex relationships, and simmering rage, the series unfolds a layered narrative of honour, love, and vengeance."

On being a part of the project,Mahvash said, "For me, Satrangi has been a completely new and refreshing experience. The gritty tone of the show allowed me to step outside my comfort zone and explore a more intense, dramatic space as a performer. I've been loving the process of discovering myself as an actor through this character. Being part of a story that is raw and emotionally challenging has been incredibly rewarding."

Anshumaan Pushkar added, "Satrangi gave me the chance to step into the shoes of a character that comes from a world and profession -- that of a launda dancer -- which is often misunderstood and unfairly looked down upon. As an actor, it was incredibly enriching to explore this social reality with honesty and empathy, without judgement or exaggeration. The role challenged me to rely on internal strength, emotional control, and lived-in performances rather than surface-level drama. Being the lead in such a distinct and unconventional story has been a deeply fulfilling experience for me."

Dilip Bachchan Jha and Ritesh Modi have come on board as the producers of the show.

The cast looks solid with veterans like Kumud Mishra. The premise of revenge against a powerful family is a classic Indian drama trope, but I hope they bring something fresh to the table. ZEE5 has been releasing some good content lately.

Sounds promising! I appreciate that the actors are talking about exploring the social reality without judgement. Our OTT platforms are really pushing boundaries that mainstream cinema often avoids. Jai Basantu Singh's direction will be key.

As someone relatively new to Indian shows, this sounds incredibly intense and layered. The focus on "honour, love, and vengeance" within a specific cultural context is fascinating. Will definitely check it out to understand these societal dynamics better.

Respectfully, I hope they don't just use the Launda dancer backdrop for shock value and then turn it into a typical revenge saga. The potential for a powerful social commentary is huge here. Fingers crossed they handle it with nuance.

Mahvash is such an underrated performer! Glad she's getting a role that takes her out of her comfort zone. The title 'Satrangi' suggests many colors/shades to the story. Excited for this emotional rollercoaster! 💫
