When the family patriarch, Bada Davan ([Saurabh Shukla](https://www.edgepedia.org/saurabh-shukla)), announces he will stand for election, he is jailed by the police officer Murli, who has come to clean up the town.<sup>[1](https://next-episode.net/bindiya-ke-bahubali)</sup> His hot-headed younger son, Chhote Davan ([Ranvir Shorey](https://www.edgepedia.org/ranvir-shorey)), steps into the vacuum, fighting to run the family empire and contest the election while his uncle Chacha Davan, rival gangs, and the police close in; the show's own synopsis describes the result as a town where love is a deal, power is personal, and everyone has a card and blood on their hands.<sup>[1](https://next-episode.net/bindiya-ke-bahubali)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[9](https://www.jiotv.com/tv-shows/bindiya-ke-bahubali/79ee61b67bae5cb79d468bca6057964f)</sup>\n\nSeason 1's six episodes carry titles such as \"The Davan Empire\", \"Colonel Kaun?\", \"Family Tandoor\", and \"War Hoga\".<sup>[10](https://www.justwatch.com/in/tv-show/bindiya-ke-bahubali/season-1)</sup> Season 2 picks up where the first part ended, with Bada Davan in jail attempting to broker peace with rival factions while Chhote Davan's aggressive leadership pushes the family and the town toward chaos; its episodes include \"Pakka War Hoga\", \"Ek Aur Davan Gaya\", \"Koi Nahi Apna\", \"Gaanv Chhodab Naahi\", and the finale \"War\".<sup>[11](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/news/hindi/bindiya-ke-bahubali-season-2-trailer-saurabh-shuka-and-ranvir-shorey-are-back-series-set-to-premiere-on-this-date/amp_articleshow/126566218.cms)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[3](https://www.justwatch.com/in/tv-show/bindiya-ke-bahubali/season-2)</sup>\n\n## Cast and crew\n\nThe ensemble is led by Saurabh Shukla as Bada Davan and Ranvir Shorey as Chhota Davan. The extended Davan family and other local characters are portrayed by an ensemble cast: [Seema Biswas](https://www.edgepedia.org/seema-biswas) as Sanka Davan, Tannishtha Chatterjee as Imali Davan, Sai Tamhankar as Ajji Davan, Kranti Prakash Jha as Babu Davan, Vineet Kumar as Chacha Davan, Sheeba Chaddha as Dharavi, Sushant Singh as DSP Murli Majhi, Dibyendu Bhattacharya as Raja Babu, Govind Namdeo as Angad Singh, Aakash Dahiya as Kisna Davan, and Yogendra Vikram Singh as Sukki Davan.<sup>[6](https://www.justwatch.com/in/tv-show/bindiya-ke-bahubali)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[8](https://socinety.com/en/show/bindiya-ke-bahubali-2025)</sup>\n\nRaj [Amit Kumar](https://www.edgepedia.org/amit-kumar) serves as creator, writer, and director, with Sankalp Rawal sharing screenplay and story credit and Damon J. Taylor also credited on the story; Mohana Krishna and John Jacob Payyapalli were directors of photography, Chandrashekhar Prajapati the editor, and [Mukesh Chhabra](https://www.edgepedia.org/mukesh-chhabra) the casting director.<sup>[4](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt37787357/fullcredits/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[8](https://socinety.com/en/show/bindiya-ke-bahubali-2025)</sup>\n\n## The title and themes\n\nDirector Raj Amit Kumar, whose earlier films include the arthouse projects *Unfreedom* and *Brown*, has said that Bindiya Ke Bahubali was not his original title, but he came to like the blend of genders it creates: bindiya is associated more with women, while bahubali carries a masculine aura. He explained that Bindiya is a fictional city somewhere in Bihar, chosen as a woman's name to reflect the importance of power as pride and shringar (adornment), and that for him Bindiya reflects India rather than only Bihar.<sup>[12](https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/bindiya-ke-bahubali-director-raj-amit-kumar-exploring-touchy-topics-on-screen-has-become-a-difficult-task-but-9076667/amp/1)</sup>\n\nKumar described the show as an absurdist comedy drama that tackles caste divide, poverty, displacement, and power dynamics in small-town India, wrapped in a gangster genre that a larger audience would want to watch.<sup>[12](https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/bindiya-ke-bahubali-director-raj-amit-kumar-exploring-touchy-topics-on-screen-has-become-a-difficult-task-but-9076667/amp/1)</sup> According to a January 2026 interview, the whole story was originally shot as one long film; after season 1's success, significant changes and new elements were added, and Kumar called season 2 the full pay-off of season 1.<sup>[13](https://mpcg.ndtv.in/entertainment/exclusive-bindiya-ke-baahubali-director-raj-amit-says-he-believes-in-art-and-storytelling-10900094)</sup>\n\n## Reception\n\nOn IMDb the series holds a 6.7/10 rating.<sup>[7](https://www.imdb.com/hi/title/tt37787357/ratings/)</sup> Critical response to season 1 was mixed. The Times of India's review called it a familiar, meandering entry into the crowded genre of hinterland mafia dramas, overstuffed yet undercooked, with sluggish pacing and underdeveloped storylines for its women characters, while crediting the convincing small-town setting and the seasoned cast, including Shukla, Shorey, Biswas, Chaddha, Govind Namdev, Sushant Singh, and Tamhankar.<sup>[5](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/reviews/hindi/bindiya-ke-bahubali/bindiya-ke-bahubali-season-1/seasonreview/123187369.cms)</sup> A Film Critics Guild review by the critic Srivathsan Nadadhur, writing for Binged, called it a tedious, predictable gangster saga, judging Shukla's role wasted after a strong start and Shorey's performance in need of more gravitas.<sup>[14](https://www.fcgreviews.com/mreviews/bindiya-ke-bahubali/)</sup>\n\nAhead of the season 2 premiere, Amazon MX Player's Amogh Dusad, Director and Head of Content, said the series blends crime and family conflict in a way that feels rooted and entertaining, with higher stakes in the new season; Shukla and Shorey both described season 2 as raising the stakes within the family, with Shorey saying his character believes power will finally earn him respect while every step strips something away.<sup>[11](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/news/hindi/bindiya-ke-bahubali-season-2-trailer-saurabh-shuka-and-ranvir-shorey-are-back-series-set-to-premiere-on-this-date/amp_articleshow/126566218.cms)</sup>\n\n## Distribution\n\nThe series is a production of Amazon MX Player and streams free with ads on [MX Player](https://www.edgepedia.org/mx-player), Amazon MX Player, and Amazon Prime Video Free with Ads; it is also available on Prime Video with a subscription in some regions.<sup>[6](https://www.justwatch.com/in/tv-show/bindiya-ke-bahubali)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[2](https://www.moviefone.com/tv-shows/bindiya-ke-bahubali/eyt8qNXg0n9pK4ENGIsJp5/where-to-watch/)</sup> [Availability](https://www.edgepedia.org/availability) varies by region; for example, it was not streaming in Indonesia as of the sources' latest checks.<sup>[15](https://ottasia.com/title/tv/297594/bindiya-ke-bahubali?country=ID)</sup>\n\n## References\n\n1.
