Supernatural dramas have always captivated television audiences—but COLORS’ ‘Noyontara’ takes the genre to a whole new level. This one-of-a-kind show is set to grip the nation at primetime with its unique blend of mystery, emotion, and the unexplained. At its heart is Noyontara, a 23-year-old ghost-whisperer who marries Dr. Surjo—a man grounded in science, hung up on a tragic past. Upon entering her sasural, the enigmatic Pari Mahal, she is drawn into a maze of secrets as two women claim to be her mother-in-law, Lalita. With the mischievous ghost Hasiram as her unlikely companion, she begins unravelling the ancestral haveli’s dark history of greed, betrayal, and forgotten truths.
Here are five compelling reasons why Noyontara deserves a spot on your watchlist.
- Double trouble with Narayani Shastri’s chilling performance
Prepare to be mesmerized by television powerhouse Narayani Shastri, stepping into a sensational double role as Lata and Lalita. One character is a cunning, power-driven mastermind whose wicked laughter sends chills down your spine; the other, fiercely protective, driven by instinct, maternal love, and courage. Shastri’s nuanced acting chops blurs the lines between illusion and reality, promising to leave the audiences wondering – who’s the saviour and who’s the villain.
- A supernatural thriller you’ve never seen before
Forget every ghost story you’ve ever known! Noyontara gives the supernatural genre a fresh spin by placing a human conflict at its centre. The story follows Noyontara, a 23-year-old ghost-whisperer misunderstood and mocked her entire life due to her rare abilities. As she steps into the eerie grandeur of Pari Mahal, she is pulled into a web of secrets and mysteries that refuse to stay buried. Here, ghosts are allies, protectors, and misunderstood souls whose tales demand to be heard, creating an emotionally gripping drama of doubt and discovery.
- An unexpected love story
At the core of Noyontara beats a turbulent, irresistible love story between two distinctly opposite individuals. Noyontara, burdened by a gift she never sought, enters into an unlikely marriage with Dr. Surjo, a rational scientist still wallowing in the shadows of a tragic past. Their journey—from stark contrasts of belief and logic to emotional connection—poses a question: can genuine love emerge from a relationship born of fate, friction, and fundamental differences?
- Kolkata’s mystical charm
Noyontara breathes its very essence of Kolkata. The narrative captures the city’s historic charm, colonial architecture, and mystical aura. Pari Mahal, echoing the city’s grand old mansions, becomes an iconic character itself, resonating with hidden truths and ancient secrets. Kolkata’s spiritual duality, where traditional beliefs coexist with modern scepticism, enriches the show’s tension between the seen and unseen, science and supernatural, and creates a vivid, living backdrop.
- Hasiram: The ghost dost
Meet Hasiram, the mischievous and endearing ghost who flips supernatural clichés on their head. As Noyontara’s loyal companion and unlikely confidant, Hasiram brings humour, warmth, and emotional depth amidst the chilling mysteries of Pari Mahal. Far from your typical ghost, Hasiram is brimming with charm and mischief, offering countless moments of comic relief. Their bond proves that in a world filled with shadows and secrets, sometimes the strongest support comes from the most surprising and unexpected places.
