Inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes detective stories, the four season TV series builds intrigue with every case. Sherlock Holmes and a former army doctor, Dr. Watson, join hands to solve all kinds of mysteries thrown their way. They just have a knack for bringing justice the right way.

Byomkesh Hotyamancha - Fridaay
{{/usCountry}}If Sherlock Holmes is Detective Sherdil's videshi inspiration, he found the desi inspiration, too. Detective Byomkesh Bakshi, again inspired by Saradindu Bandyopadhyay's stories, is about 'Satyanweshi' (how Bakshi refers to himself), which literally translates to the truth seeker. He, too, has a companion in Ajit. The latter sticks around just for learning. In the chapter of Byomkesh Hotyamancha, Bakshi becomes a witness to a murder while attending a play at a theatre. Thus begins his journey to uncovering the spine-chilling secret about the murderer.
Satyanweshi Byomkesh - Zee5
Parambrata Chatterjee and Rudranil Ghosh team up as Bakshi and Ajit to investigate how Heena Mallick (played by Ayoshi Talukdar) dies. They take up the case after political leader Santosh Samaddar (Sumanta Mukherjee) pleads with them to look into the matter. As you can already expect, things are quite complicated even if they might not appear so. Hop on this journey for less than two hours to know the real story!
