On July 27, JioCinema will add an original crime drama to its lineup called Kaalkoot. An exciting trailer for the detective drama starring Vijay Varma, Shweta Tripathi Sharma, Yashpal Sharma, Gopal Datt, and Seema Biswas was released on the platform after the first teaser left viewers wanting more. Sumit Saxena's very in-depth film examines the bleak realities of patriarchy and structural oppression.

The series follows Ravi Tripathi, a sub-inspector in the city of Thana Sarsi, as he investigates a case involving an acid assault. His attitude shifts from disinterest to enthusiasm when he learns that the brutal attack victim, Parul, is the daughter of a woman his mother had wanted him to marry. Ravi decides to look into the incident on his own and identify the culprit because of his newly discovered sense of duty. As he seeks justice, he runs into obstacles such as sexism, toxic masculinity, and social norms.

Vijay Varma remarked, commenting on the film's premise and themes, that Kaalkoot is a coming-of-age story of Ravi, the character I represent, and I believe it will surely be a transformational experience for anyone who watches it. The series probes their innermost beings, testing their self-perception and illuminating the lesser-known yet essential aspects of human nature. His character has no doubt that it will provoke thought, new issues, and fruitful conversations among viewers.

Kaalkoot, as Shweta Tripathi Sharma elaborated, is a coming-of-age drama about a cop. An officer who is working on his "manhood" And while doing so, he looks into a crime that has him questioning the fundamental definition of "man." How does one define manhood? Does one agree with that definition? How should it properly be defined? How does this definition impact society and women's place in it? In this police procedural, the protagonist and viewers alike must examine their own motivations, actions, and worldviews in order to solve the crime at hand.

Kaalkoot will take viewers on a journey that will question their beliefs and make them look deep inside themselves to see the demons that lurk there. It will be available on JioCinema for free starting on July 27.
