View this post on InstagramA post shared by Vijay Varma (@itsvijayvarma)Directed by Sumit Saxena, Kaalkoot delves deep into the dark realities of patriarchy and systemic oppression.The series also stars Yashpal Sharma, Gopal Datt, and Seema Biswas.An intense crime series set against the backdrop of a horrifying acKaalkootid attack case, the story revolves around Ravi Tripathi, a sub-inspector in the town of Thana Sarsi. Initially lacking interest in his job, Ravi's perspective changes when he discovers that the victim of the brutal attack, Parul, is the same girl his mother wanted him to marry. Driven by a newfound purpose, Ravi takes it upon himself to investigate the crime and find the person responsible. Along the way, he confronts gender biases, toxic masculinity, and societal expectations that hinder his pursuit of justice.Commenting on the premise and themes of Kaalkoot, Vijay Varma said in a statement, "Kaalkoot is a coming-of-age story of Ravi, the character I portray, and I believe it will undoubtedly be a transformative experience for anyone who watches it. The show digs deep into our souls, challenging how we see ourselves and reveals the hidden sides of humanity, the parts we often overlook. I am sure that it will leave viewers to reflect and raise important questions and spark a meaningful dialogue.Shweta Tripathi Sharma added, "Kaalkoot is a coming-of-age drama of a cop. A cop who is trying to become a man. And in the process, he investigates a crime which makes him question the very meaning of the word - Man. What does it mean to be a man? And is that definition right? What is the right definition? And how that definition effects society and affects the existence and value of woman? This is a cop crime drama where solving a crime forces the protagonist and also the audience investigate their own lives, their own behaviour and their own belief system. "Kaalkoot is all set to stream on Jio Cinema from July 27.
In the clip, Aamir, director Ashutosh Gowariker, actors Yashpal Sharma, Akhilendra Mishra, Rajendranath Zutshi and others are seen interacting with each other.Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan and Aakash Chopra were also a part of the celebrations."#21YearsOfLagaan," Aamir Khan's production team captioned the post.Shankar Pandey, Raja Awasthi, Suhasini Mulay, Pradeep Ram Singh Rawat, and Amin Gazi also marked their presence at the personal gathering.Helmed by Ashutosh Gowarikar, 'Lagaan' was nominated in the Best Foreign Language category at the 74th Academy Awards and received widespread critical and commercial acclaim.
