## Synopsis

Bicchoo Ka Khel (2020) is an Indian Hindi-language crime drama series created for ALTBalaji and ZEE5, a single-season run of nine episodes of roughly twenty-three minutes each. Divyendu Sharma plays Akhil Shrivastav, a young student whose father's death is revealed to be the product of a cover-up, and Syed Zeeshan Qadri plays Nikunj Tiwari, a figure drawn into the tangle of the case. Mukul Chadda appears as Babu Shrivastav, and Trishna Mukherjee as Protima Chaubey, with Prashansa Sharma and Akanksha Thakur filling out the wider circle of family and acquaintances. The engine of the show is simple and personal: Akhil must decide whether he can put the past behind him and move on, or whether revenge is the only path to peace. Each episode peels back another layer of deception around his father's fate, shifting the emotional ground between grief, suspicion and anger. Set in contemporary small-town India, the series carries a brooding, morally uneasy atmosphere in the spirit of Sacred Games and Paatal Lok, with the tension of a family torn apart by secrets. Fans of Mirzapur and Sacred Games will find resonance in its blend of bleak realism and the pull of vengeance.
