Candy is a Hindi thriller series set in the mysterious Himalayan town of Rudrakund, where the murder of a high school student, Mehul, sparks a chilling investigation. Beneath the town’s serene surface lies a disturbing world of secrets, drug abuse, and corruption.
The story follows two outsiders—Jayant Parekh, a grief-stricken teacher battling inner demons, and Ratna Sankhawar, a tough, morally ambiguous police officer. As they probe deeper into Mehul’s death, they uncover a dark conspiracy involving drug-laced candy, rave parties, and a powerful politician entangled in the drug trade.
The series explores intense themes such as bullying, sexual assault, and the myth of a “demon in the woods”, which adds a layer of psychological and supernatural tension. The investigation forces both protagonists to confront not only the town’s horrors but also their own personal traumas.
With its suspenseful atmosphere, layered storytelling, and unpredictable twists, Candy builds toward a gripping climax that reveals the killer and exposes the depth of Rudrakund’s corruption. It’s a haunting tale of justice, deception, and the darkness that can lurk in even the most picturesque places.
