Sony LIV has just released the much-anticipated trailer for its upcoming Marathi crime thriller series, "Manvat Murders," and it’s already sending shivers down the spine of its viewers. Set against the backdrop of a small village in Marathwada, the series dives into a dark chapter of Indian crime history, dramatizing the brutal murders that rocked Maharashtra between 1972 and 1974.
The official Sony LIV handle shared the trailer with the tantalizing tease: “Seven murders; Unsolved for over one & a half years. Will the ace cop from Mumbai, Ramakant Kulkarni, be able to bring justice? Watch 'Manvat Murders,' a story based on the dreadful crime that shook the state of Maharashtra in the 1970s.

Starring Ashutosh Gowariker, Makarand Anaspure, Sonali Kulkarni, and Sai Tamhankar, "Manvat Murders" brings to life the grim reality of the murders through a narrative that is both haunting and gripping. The series is based on the autobiographical work of CID officer Ramakant S. Kulkarni, titled ‘Footprints on the Sand of Crime,’ which chronicles the real-life investigations into these heinous acts.
Directed by Ashish Bende, the series promises a deep dive into the chilling events that transpired in Manawat, Maharashtra. The plot follows an unsettling story involving a woman in her thirties who, grappling with premature menopause, turns to a quack for help. The quack's sinister prescription involves offering virgins as sacrifices to Munjaba, a supposed spirit of an unmarried Brahmin boy. This grotesque ritual leads to the murder of five young girls, an infant, and four women in their mid-thirties.
The trailer showcases a blend of intense drama and disturbing visuals, hinting at the dark, psychological depths the series will explore. With Mahesh Kothare, Adinath Kothare, and Girish Joshi behind the production, "Manvat Murders" is set to be a riveting addition to the crime drama genre, blending historical intrigue with a contemporary narrative flair.
