Jehanabad of love and war story

Sudhir Mishra’s Jehanabad is based on the legendary Bihar jailbreak incident. Naxalites conducted one of the largest jailbreaks in Bihar in 2005, sending the state administration scrambling for cover amid election season. This escape resulted in around 370 convicts fleeing from the Jehanabad jail. Doesn’t it sound like it’s all blood and gore? ImageCredit: youtube Jehanabad, SonyLiv’s latest criminal thriller, includes a love narrative running concurrently with the Naxalites plotting their attack. On November 13, 2005, Kasturi Mishra (Harsita Gaur) is dressed as a bride, waiting for her fiancé, Abhimanyu Singh (Ritwik Bhowmik), to come. However, things quickly devolve into chaos as the baraat is attacked by the Naxals, who have now taken over the whole city of Jehanabad. The naxals abduct Abhimanyu, which perplexes Kasturi, who then chases them to save her love.

Kasturi leaves no stone unturned to attract Abhimanyu’s attention and finally makes him fall for him, oblivious to what the future holds for them and all the mayhem going on around them. At the same time, Guruji AKA Jagmohan Kumar (Suneel Sinha), and his colleagues are plotting a large-scale attack on the Jehanbad prison to free Deepak.

Jehanabad has a certain smell (charm) to it, just like there’s a peculiar, tempting smell of an expensive cigar, as the song “Kaala sooraj kaale badal aur kaali shaam, Is safar ke O musafir tujhko laal salaam” defines the mood of a bloody, armed revolution. The new web series stands apart from the sea of patriotic spy dramas and its certainly high on thrill as a sweet love story tugs at the heartstrings with a revolution thriving in the background. Jehanabad is Rajiv Barnwal’s new directorial after his recently released Netflix film Vadh, starring Neena Gupta and Sanjay Mishra. The show takes the audience back to the Naxal revolution in Bihar in 2005, led by those who wanted to overthrow a system which differentiated them over their caste.

Both the stories run parallel and keep the viewer intrigued and glued to the screen, flourishing on their own. But when the two stories cross paths with each other, many lives are put at stake. While the small town love sto...
