Mafia Storyline
This psychological thriller, Mafia, weaves a story on violence and trauma hidden in the guise of a mystery thriller. Six thick college friends drifted apart for various reasons. When one of them gets engaged it becomes the occasion to bring everyone together. Instead of fancy bachelorette trip they plan a reunion trip to Madhupur, Jharkhand, to spend some time in a bungalow in the middle of the jungle.
However, they had taken a similar trip to this very place six years ago when the events had scarred their friendship. A gripping storyline unfolds shifting between the past and the present – making this thriller series a fast-paced one.
Mafia on Zee5 – Will the past will come to haunt their fancy lives now?
Mafia gets its name from the age old party game – “police, mafia and villagers” or what we call “chor-police”. The mafia continues to kill villagers until the police can correctly identify the mafia.
This eight-part thriller series has everything in it to give you your binge-worthy entertainment. When you start, you can only finish it and get up! A wonderful narrative, anger, rage, shock – this series provides almost all of these emotions.

What I loved about Mafia on ZEE5?
The female solidarity among the characters is so unique and amazing in Mafia. Caste dynamics, power abuse, complicated male characters make the series gripping and interesting.
The fear factor is also brought in through the lost stranger in the jungle – Nitin. With some great acting, Namit Das brings in the distrust and chill and is a character you will enjoy watching.

Even then I’m prompted to watch Mafia, it’s not because of how it’s well-packaged, but because of the way to have reviewed it. I feel like I can def give it a shot. Thanks for the review. PS: It does sound like an adaption of some English thriller.
Recently I watched the Mafia Web Series on ZEE5. It is a story of six college friends, Ritwik, Rishi, Sam, Tanya, Neha, and Ananya. They head to a jungle house in a sleepy village Madhupur for their reunion, the same location where they had bid farewell to each other after their college days six years ago. While Ritwik and Tanya are no longer together and have marched into newer relationships, Rishi is still the rich, arrogant brat that he was in the college. Sam’s loyalty towards Rishi continues long after college, probably owing to his mounting financial needs. It’s a good web series I hope you will like it.
