The exotic drama looks promising as it touches upon serious issues as patriarchy and gender politics.

We cannot take our eyes of actor Milind Soman who plays the third gender Boris who questions the rules of the kingdom and is also the one who starts a revolution.

Set in 16th century India, the show is about the world of Paurashpur where actor Annu Kapoor’s character, Raja Bhadrapratap Singh, rules the misogynistic kingdom. The web-show also features Shaheer Sheikh. We will be seeing Annu Kapoor as a lusty and oppressive king.

He rules over an extremely misogynistic kingdom where women are objectified for desire and treated like a man’s property. The king keeps getting married to different women and when they fail to please him, he gets them killed. The trailer also gives a glimpse of how women are forbidden from making decisions regarding their own bodies. The women of Paurashpur have no freedom and aren’t allowed to deny any demand made by the men in the kingdom.

Meanwhile, the queen (Shilpa) challenges this male-dominated world and is seen planning and plotting to gain total control of the city. She refuses to be treated like a man’s property. Milind Soman as a master swordsman and Shaheer Sheikh as a merchant act as her pawns.
