In the vast landscape of Indian web series, some hidden gems often go unnoticed by the majority of viewers. One such series is “Inspector Avinash,” currently streaming on JioCinema, which deserves more attention than it has received. Starring the talented Randeep Hooda in the titular role, this web series brings forth a captivating narrative set against the backdrop of the criminal-political nexus in Uttar Pradesh during the early 90s. Let’s dive deeper into why “Inspector Avinash” deserves recognition.
A flawed protagonist with an impact
Randeep Hooda’s acting prowess is no secret, and in “Inspector Avinash,” he once again proves his mettle as one of the smartest actors in the Indian film industry. His portrayal of the imperfect yet impactful Avinash Mishra is a breath of fresh air amidst the sea of cookie-cutter characters we often see on OTT platforms.
Unlike the usual depiction of flawless heroes, Avinash Mishra is presented as a character with vulnerabilities and imperfections. This approach adds layers to his personality and makes him relatable to the audience. It’s a refreshing departure from the clichéd representation we often encounter in contemporary OTT projects.

Exploring the Criminal-Political Nexus: “Inspector Avinash” delves into the dark underbelly of the criminal-political nexus that plagued Uttar Pradesh during the early 90s. None should be surprised as to what UP was, when crime and politics went hand in hand, just like the neighbouring state of Bihar. The series weaves a compelling narrative around the exploits of Avinash Mishra, an ex STF officer, who navigates this treacherous landscape. It sheds light on the corruption, power dynamics, and challenges faced by law enforcement officers during that era.
Real-Life Incidents Handled with Grace
The series fearlessly covers crucial incidents from the past, including the potential terror attack in Ayodhya, which was thwarted by what some might call a “divine intervention.” The storytelling here is unbiased, presenting events without any malice or nefarious agenda. It offers an insightful glimpse into historical events while maintaining the integrity of the narrative.
Randeep Hooda’s impressive performance is complemented by a talented supporting cast that includes Amit Sial, Abhimanyu Singh, and Rajneesh Duggal, among others. Their performances add depth and authenticity to the series, further enhancing the overall viewing experience.
The only gripe
One aspect that slightly detracts from the series is the limited but noticeable screen presence of Urvashi Rautela. Fortunately, her role is confined to just a few minutes in each episode, ensuring that it does not significantly impact the overall quality of “Inspector Avinash.”
