Read on for the full review of Aarya web series – a Disney+ Hotstar Indian Web series.
The Plot of Aarya Indian TV series
The plot unfolds with the opening scene that shows a typical morning in an upper-class Indian home. The chaos of breakfast, father hurrying to office, kids getting ready for school, the mother on edge afraid the kids will be late, and so on. But that is just the beginning, and the flaws soon stand exposed.
The father turns out to be running a pharmaceutical company along with two friends. Only the pharmaceutical company is a front for opium smuggling. In fact, it is a family business. A wedding brings together the different characters or members of the family under one roof, where all the chinks and flaws are exposed.
The perfect family’s world gets shattered when the father, played by Chandrachur Singh of Machi’s fame is shot dead by an unknown soldier. All hell breaks loose as the mother’s (Sushmita Sen in the title role of Aarya) world comes crashing down. The plot then picks up and takes the viewers through a maze of sub-plots involving drugs, mafia-style killings, and kidnappings. From where does Aarya get her strength? How does she as a woman make her presence count in the male-dominated drug mafia? How does she handle and fight the tigers that menace her children? These are the questions that the web-series answers in the 9 episode season 1 of Aarya. To know more you would need to watch the Aarya web series.
Our Thoughts – Aarya Web Series Review
The Aarya web series seems all too familiar. Drugs, Mafia, murder, violence, sex, which has become the order of the day. But it is a good watch for those interested in this genre of crime thrillers. What lifts the series above the ordinary is the performance of Sushmita Sen which is brilliant, revealing hues of vulnerability, softness towards her husband and children, and ruthlessness when faced with adversaries. A strong and shrewd woman who always seems in control of the situation. The setting of the story in Rajasthan with the backdrop of forts and palaces is an interesting element of the plot. If you have watched many Hollywood movies in the Godfather mould, you may not find anything fresh in the series except the Indianization. But it is an interesting and gripping watch for those hooked to crime dramas.

i heard about the series from a friend who was totally hooked up with it and ended up binge-watching it for the whole night. I got a “5-star rating” and “must watch immediately” review from her. she told me Sushmita Sen’s acting is above the top in this series. I’m going to finish it soon.
Oh I see it’s a thriller. Lol I’m actually not a fan of anything scary, but I see the series got many 5 stars which counts in its favor.
I watched Paatalok and I know I would love series which are of similar genre. I absolutely love Sushmita Sen and find her very graceful. I need to watch Aarya.. Can I watch it from abroad? I have Netflix and Amazon Prime subscription. Is Disney Hotstar subscription only available in India?
This sounds like a series I might like to watch. I quite enjoy the crime theme series and I am looking for something new to watch since I am on the last season of my current series on Netflix. I do love a series with a strong female lead!
A good watch. Keeps you on tender hooks throughout with good twists and turns. The pace is good as well as the actors.
I don’t have either of those apps but I really like Sushmita Sen. I will try and watch this. Sounds like it might be quite interesting. Thanks for the review, Sandy. I didn’t know Chandrachur Singh was still acting. Haven’t seen him in anything recently.
