Devkhel (2026) is a gripping Marathi psychological drama that dives deep into the dark space where belief turns into fear and tradition begins to control human lives. Set in a remote Konkan village, the series blends folklore, suspense, and emotional storytelling to create an unsettling yet deeply rooted narrative. Unlike conventional crime or thriller series, Devkhel doesn’t rely on constant shocks. Instead, it slowly tightens its grip, allowing atmosphere, silence, and superstition to drive the story forward.

Storyline
Set in the haunting coastal village of Devkhel in the Konkan region, the series unfolds around a chilling belief: every year, during the Shimga (Holi) festival, someone in the village must die. The locals believe these deaths are not crimes, but divine punishment carried out by the mythical entity Shankasur—a force feared, worshipped, and never questioned.
When yet another mysterious death shakes the village, Inspector Vishwas Saranj is assigned to investigate. An outsider to Devkhel’s rigid traditions, Vishwas approaches the case with logic and law, only to find himself trapped between superstition and silence. The villagers refuse to cooperate, hiding behind faith, fear, and generations-old secrets.
As Vishwas digs deeper, disturbing patterns emerge—rituals masked as customs, crimes disguised as destiny, and power structures protected by blind belief. His investigation begins to blur the line between myth and reality, forcing him to question whether the real monster is supernatural… or painfully human.
Devkhel is not just a crime thriller—it is a psychological descent into collective fear, moral compromise, and the dangerous comfort of believing that evil comes from gods rather than people. Each episode peels back layers of folklore, exposing how tradition can become a weapon, and how truth is often the first sacrifice.
