Atrangii OTT, known for pushing creative boundaries with raw, unconventional storytelling, is back with another spine-chilling tale — Khoj. This time, the streaming platform dives deep into the shadows of crime and the supernatural, weaving an eerie mystery that explores not just murder but the thin veil separating life from something beyond.
At the heart of this dark and twisted journey is Zain Imam, the television sensation who has reinvented himself in a gritty, never-seen-before avatar — a ruthless cop fighting not only crime but also his own haunting fears.
A Murder Mystery Dipped in the Supernatural
Khoj unfolds in the unsettling corners of Mumbai — a city that never sleeps but hides its darkest secrets under the flickering streetlights. When a string of mysterious deaths begin to look like suicides, one man refuses to accept the obvious.
Enter Zain Imam’s character — a hard-nosed, relentless cop determined to uncover the truth. But as he delves deeper, he realizes these deaths are more than just human crimes — they carry a whisper of something otherworldly.
Each clue he unravels takes him closer to a chilling revelation, but also deeper into a nightmare he can’t escape. The line between his duty and his dread blurs, as the cop becomes entangled in a supernatural web that tests his sanity, courage, and belief in reality itself.
Zain Imam’s Transformation: From Charmer to Chilling
Known for his suave on-screen charm in shows like Naamkarann and Ek Bhram Sarvagun Sampanna, Zain Imam completely breaks his image in Khoj. Here, he’s intense, brooding, and fierce — a cop driven by purpose, yet haunted by ghosts both literal and metaphorical.
Zain’s performance captures the fine balance between duty and despair. His expressive eyes and controlled aggression make every scene more immersive, giving audiences a protagonist they can root for — even as he faces forces beyond comprehension.
This isn’t just a role for Zain — it’s a transformation. And he wears the darkness well.
Atrangii’s Bold Leap into the Unknown
Talking about the series, Himonshu Pathak, VP – Content at Atrangii, said that Khoj marks a new chapter for the platform — one where folklore, fear, and human emotion intertwine.
“At Atrangii, we’ve always aimed to explore new genres in storytelling, and with Khoj, we delve into the supernatural mystery thriller space, rooted in India’s rich folklore,” said Pathak. “After the success of NCR and Chitta Ve, we wanted to bring audiences a show that’s both thrilling and culturally resonant. Khoj is that story — dark, unpredictable, and deeply human.”
The creative team deserves credit for crafting a narrative that doesn’t just rely on jump scares but builds tension through atmosphere and emotion. The visuals of dimly lit alleys, shadowy figures, and eerie silences make Khoj as much a psychological thriller as it is a supernatural one.
A Story That Lingers After the Screen Fades
What makes Khoj stand out is how it merges police procedural storytelling with the supernatural. It’s not just about solving crimes — it’s about confronting unseen fears, about the ghosts of guilt and loss that haunt the living.
The series dives deep into human psychology — exploring how far one can go in search of truth when the truth itself begins to look like a nightmare.
With Zain Imam leading the charge, supported by atmospheric direction and taut writing, Khoj becomes more than a supernatural thriller — it’s an emotional, dark, and unforgettable experience.
