Parambrata Chatterjee is perfect as the city bred police officer Angad, who takes time to get used to the chaotic ways of the hill town. He comes with a nuanced portrayal as a person who is ill at ease with the happenings in the hill town and as a person saddled with a dark past..
Ashutosh Rana is another highlight of the show as the retired cop Mahadev. He is the professional Guru of Kasturi who knows Sironah like the back of his hand.
Tanisha Joshi and Wishvesh Sarkharoli impress as Kasturi's daughter Nutan and her boyfriend Bunty.
The rest of the cast including Meghna Malik, Zakir Hussain, Indraneil Sengupta, Lalit Parimoo, Anna Ador and Breshna Khan lend able support.
In short, Aranyak is an engrossing mystery which keeps you engaged with a heady cocktail of crime, power and politics. It boasts of brilliant performances by Raveena Tandon and Parambrata Chatterjee.
