Rudrakaal: Everything you need to know before Star Plus’ finite-series hits airwaves tonight

By: Mohnish Singh

Star Plus never stops rolling out one exciting show after the other. The leading general entertainment channel already has several high-profile shows ruling TRP charts. Adding to its rich catalogue is the new finite-series Rudrakaal, which is set to premiere today.


Rudrakaal promises to be a tightly packed crime-thriller set in today’s times. In this modern era of war tactics, the enemy is going for death by thousand cuts. Rudrakaal exemplifies that concept by showing how people are vulnerable to vicious conspiracies and get lured into being pitted against each other. How tech can play a role in inflicting a thousand cuts and while we may think the enemy is across the border, the enemy is all around us.

You might be wondering if there is anything you need to know before the series goes on air tonight. Don’t worry, we have you covered. Read on to find out more about what could be a fun Sunday binge for you.

A Star-studded Line-up:

Bhanu Uday Goswami is back to entertain us yet again. Whenever he played epic cop roles in his career, everyone just loved him. Here, too, he is set to entertain us in the form of an honest IPS officer, DCP Ranjan Chittoda, who is brought in to investigate the murder of his former mentor. During his investigation, he stumbles upon a conspiracy, and the chaos that entails forms the crux of the story.

What stands out about the series is their choice of actors. The makers have selected an amazing set of actors who have proven their worth in the acting industry for a long set of time.

Besides Bhanu, the ensemble cast of Rudrakaal also includes the likes of Dipannita Sharma, Rudraksh Jaiswal, Harsh Joshi, Swanand Kirkire, Shruti Marathe, Kishor Kadam, Suraj Singh, Flora Saini, Bijay Anand among others.

A Finite-series:

The promos of the show have caught everyone's attention. The show seems a complete visual treat and looks thrilling, whether be it the breath-taking visuals of the Maximum City Mumbai, the magnificent weaponry, grand production at an international level, or last but not the least, the characters, their mannerisms, body transformations that make for a complete package.

The channel has collaborated with Dashmi Productions for creative storytelling and offers premium, fresh, and finite content with superior production values and narratives that have a wide appeal. The makers are confident that the content has immense potential and pull for the comprehensive audience

Thrill Factor:

The show is more extravagant and bombastic than your typical thrillers. Car chases, vicious and brutal hand-to-hand brawls, and larger-than-life personalities take precedence over looking for clues and piecing together motives. It makes for a very lively, entertaining, and easy-to-follow time.

Viewers have taken to social media to express their curiosity about the new finite series and the show has been trending for the last 24 hours on Twitter.

Produced by Dashmi Productions, Rudrakaal is set to hit airwaves tonight at 7 pm only on Star Plus. Don't forget to catch it!

Anurag Kashyap calls Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos "the definition of dumb" over 'Sacred Games' remark

Anurag Kashyap is known for being outspoken, and this weekend he made headlines again, this time taking aim at Netflix’s top boss Ted Sarandos. The filmmaker lashed out after Sarandos questioned the streaming platform’s early approach in India, particularly their decision to kick things off with Kashyap’s gritty crime drama Sacred Games in 2018.

During an interview on Nikhil Kamath’s podcast People by WTF, Sarandos said he may have chosen a more “populist” route if he could go back, admitting the series was perhaps too novel for the Indian market at the time. The comments didn’t sit well with Kashyap, who fired back on social media, calling Sarandos “the definition of dumb” and sarcastically suggesting the platform should’ve launched with traditional “saas-bahu” content instead.

‘Maybe Happy Ending’ wins six Tony Awards as Korean musical makes Broadway history

South Korea just scored a historic milestone at the Tony Awards, with the musical Maybe Happy Ending bagging six trophies, including Best Musical and Best Lead Actor. The show, centred on two ageing helper robots living on the edge of Seoul, left the awards night buzzing. Korean entertainment, long a force in film, television, and music, is now making serious inroads into Western theatre too.


From Seoul to Broadway: A story born in two languages

Maybe Happy Ending wasn’t always destined for the bright lights of Broadway. It first opened in a small Seoul theatre in 2016, a result of a local arts foundation’s programme. Co-created by South Korean lyricist Hue Park and American composer Will Aronson, the story explores loneliness, connection, and memory through the eyes of obsolete robots. Written in both Korean and English, the piece has been reimagined several times since its debut.

Darren Criss, known to many as a Glee star, played Oliver and took home his first Tony for the role. His co-star Helen J Shen portrayed Claire, the other robot. Together, they brought the emotional weight to a futuristic love story that’s more human than it sounds.


While the robots explore feelings in a near-future Seoul, the show managed to preserve distinct Korean elements like Jeju Island and the traditional plant pot hwabun on the Broadway stage, something fans celebrated online.


A cultural shift, decades in the making

With this win, South Korea joins the rare club of nations with major victories across all four major American entertainment awards, including the Oscars, Emmys, Grammys, and now Tonys. From Parasite to Squid Game, and now Maybe Happy Ending, Korean creators are no longer breaking into the global scene, they’re leading it.

The success also validates years of quiet work in South Korea’s theatre scene. Original musicals like Marie Curie and The Great Gatsby have made appearances in the West End and on Broadway, but Maybe Happy Ending marks the first time a Korean musical has truly swept the Tonys.


As one critic noted, more than awards, it’s about shifting global perspectives. Korean musicals are no longer export hopefuls. They’re now centre stage.
