Rudra has given us confidence that the market for high quality storytelling is massive!”

The show is packed with fast-paced action sequences.

Viewers are loving the show’s distinctive race-against-the-clock narrative that delves into the psyche of highly-intelligent criminal masterminds and the detective who hunts them. Devgn’s act of a sombre, smouldering cop undergoing tempestuous personal tides in the riveting new crime thriller directed by Rajesh Mapuskar and the ensemble cast has been receiving an overwhelming response since its launch.

Set in Mumbai, Rudra-The Edge of Darkness is a race-against-the-clock thriller that delves into the psyche of highly intelligent criminals and the detective who hunts them. Each episode in the series features a new threat even as the overarching series arc continues, portraying the grave personal cost at which DCP Rudra Veer Singh pursues criminals and killers and the unlikely friendship that he forms with Aliyah, a genius sociopath.

In the series, Mumbai, the metropolis goes beyond being a mere backdrop for our hero’s vigilante actions but sets the very stage upon which the war between good and evil is waged. Even in this darkness, Rudra believes there is still love in the world. Because in the end, humanity is all we've got. And it is for this belief that Rudra sacrifices everything he has.

 Produced by Applause Entertainment in association with BBC Studios India, Rudra - The Edge of Darkness is streaming on Disney+ Hotstar in Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Bengali .
