The Platform 8 thriller series Morali tells the story of an 11-year-old orphaned girl, Morali who lives with her father, Tapas Bauri, a poor contractual worker at the Nijhumpur railway station in Birbhum. Despite their meagre income, father and daughter used to lead a happy life. The story takes a crucial turn when one day, Morali goes missing. Upon returning home at night, Tapas only finds her blood-stained frock. A thousand questions of concern arise.
This is where the narrative unfolds myriad tales of intrigue.

Parama Mitra is a special officer whose husband served in the army and died prematurely in combat. The widowed Parama lives with her 10-year-old daughter, Papri.

Her daughter is bitter with her because the child often feels neglected as Parama’s demanding police job leaves little time for her to fulfil her daughter’s desires.

On the other spectrum of the narrative is Arnab Roy Chowdhury, a celebrity dancer who performs across India. He runs his dance school, Nritya Aham. Parama’s daughter Papri is a student at Arnab’s dance academy.

The series stars Tnusree C, Saptarshi Moulik, Shinjinee Chakraborty, Jammy Banerjee, Shankar Debnath, Gitasree Chakraborty and Rana Basu Thakur.

“Human trafficking is a pervasive and insidious crime that affects millions of people worldwide. Despite its magnitude, this grave issue often remains shrouded in darkness, hidden behind the veil of society’s indifference and systemic shortcomings. Our web series aims to cast a powerful spotlight on this critical problem, shedding light on the harrowing realities faced by victims of trafficking and the urgent need for collective action. In crafting this web series, our goal is twofold: to illuminate the harsh truths of human trafficking and to inspire change. Through poignant storytelling and vivid depiction, we strive to convey the human cost of this crime — the suffering, the exploitation, and the enduring psychological trauma endured by countless individuals. By presenting real stories and experiences, we seek to humanise the victims, allowing their voices to be heard and their stories to be told,” said director Souvik Mondal.
