Poison story (no spoilers)

Poison is a Hindi crime drama that premiered on ZEE5 on 19 April 2019 and ended with its second season on 16 October 2020. The story begins with Ranveer, who after his release from jail moves to Goa to seek revenge on his enemies. Meanwhile, DSP Vikram sets his sights on Antonio Verghese, a don who operates from Goa. The series follows what happens when the lives of these three men become entwined. Across two seasons of 11 episodes each, the show builds its conflict around Ranveer's quest for vengeance, Vikram's pursuit of Antonio, and the criminal underworld in Goa. With episodes typically running 35 minutes, the tone is tense and dramatic, fitting its crime genre and A certificate. The cast includes Tanuj Virwani as Ranveer, Freddy Daruwala as ACP Vikram, and Arbaaz Khan as Antonio Vergehese, alongside Faisal Rashid, Gaurav Sharma, Sakshi Pradhan, Aftab Shivdasani, and Raai Laxmi. Directed by Vishal Pandya and Jatin Satish Wagle, Poison is a gritty, revenge-driven series set against Goa's criminal landscape.
