Hunkkaar: The Roar Explores Power and Justice in Spiritual Abuse Allegation
Hunkkaar: The Roar, streaming on JioHotstar, is a socio-legal thriller about Meenu Rawat, a minor who accuses a powerful spiritual leader, Baapji, of sexual assault. The series features Aneet Padda as Meenu, Fatima Sana Shaikh as the investigating officer, and Raghubir Yadav as the godman-turned-villain. While praised for performances and its portrayal of power dynamics, critics note the story covers familiar ground and could benefit from sharper writing. The show explores themes of influence, justice, and standing up against authority.
