Aranyak

 Raveena Tandon - Kasturi is an inspector in interior hill station town. She has decided to take a long leave from office to care for her family. Needs unnecessary, as her daughter Nutan in 12th is studying well and cooks better than her mother. And son is a well behaved child. Her father-in-law is slightly eccentric, slightly demented ex-police who keeps thinking he is still hawaldar. 

The inspector who comes to replace her, Angad is "angrezi medium" cop, a young inspector - well educated. On his first day, he gets his first case. A french woman comes with a complain that her teen-age daughter is missing. 

Kasturi tries to belittle this woman as charasi - a drug addict and doesn't want to take this case seriously. But Angad is not dismissing the case.

Local minister Jagadamba is having breakfast with her son Keerthi and telling him that she wants to cancel his probation. He must go back to prison. What has transpired the previous night, she is not sure. But she is worried. He was out on probation, previously arrested in sexual assault case. 

There is yet another politician Manhar. His daughter Nelima is getting engaged to much worried Ravi. Manhar feels that some how the turn of events will benefit him and Jagadamba will clear the papers for his resorts project. 

But the next day, Kasturi's father in law discovers the corpse of the missing girl hanging from a tree. 

So you have all ingredients - a crime, troubled detectives, political nexus. And Raveena and her co-stars have acted well. The amazon prime series "Aranyak" is reasonably good. Reasonably good masala series.
