Tigmanshu Dhulia's Zee5 film Ghamasaan stars Arshad Warsi as a dacoit named Maharaj and Pratik Gandhi as Special Task Force officer Aditya Singh.
The plot follows a conventional cat-and-mouse chase where a corrupt politician uses the dacoit to influence elections, and an STF officer takes matters into his own hands.
Reviewers praise the film's authentic location shoots and depiction of village despair, but note that the narrative relies on predictable archetypes and familiar beats.
