When a young man is found murdered in the washroom of a Mumbai railway station, a tough-as-nails cop joins forces with a veteran journalist to solve the case in the upcoming JioCinema series Murder in Mahim. Vijay Raaz plays the cop Jende, while Ashutosh Rana plays Peter, the journalist. They were once friends; and the murder acts as a bridge for their reconciliation. Murder in Mahim is based on a novel by Jerry Pinto, published in 2017. The series is directed by Raj Acharya and written by Mustafa Neemuchwala and Udai Singh Pawar.

The trailer begins with the murder of a young man, who is found dead in a laundry room notorious for prostitution. Not long after Jende is assigned the case, Peter knocks on his door. Both characters are drawn into a world of secret desires and deception as they join forces to track down the killer and confront their personal prejudices along the way. Further complications arise when Jende’s own son, Sunil, becomes a suspect in the case. We also see questions arising about the ethics of sex work, queer rights and class differences.
