Hankaar - Season 1 (2018)

A Hungama Original, Hankaar is a high-octane drama that takes the audience on an intriguing journey through the seedy underbelly of Mumbai. Ruled by the dreaded underworld don, Z, Mumbai is just a chessboard for him with its residents, merely pawns. With the reins of the city in his hands, Z ensures that every major criminal business in the city belongs to him and everyone is under his thumb. The show introduces us to five individuals, seemingly unrelated to each other, from different strata of society, each trying to realize the big city dream. Nisha—the daughter of a prostitute who now rescues victims of child and sex trafficking, Pradeep—a real estate agent whose simple desire to move up the ladder, turns his world upside down, James– a drug addict who wants a share of the trade, Mangesh– an extremely, speech-impaired man from a chawl who won’t stop at anything to rise above poverty and Joy– an unassuming 20-something tech-wiz at the threshold of entering the world of cyber-crime. Neither of them knows the other, and yet, have their destinies interlinked, as they are merely puppets being controlled by the mysterious Z.
