Its first season consists of eight episodes of roughly 36 minutes each[2](https://www.123telugu.com/mnews/vyooham-makes-its-ott-debut.html) • [3](https://www.justwatch.com/in/tv-show/vyooham).\n\n| Key fact | Detail |\n|---|---|\n| Format | Telugu-language scripted crime thriller web series, 8 episodes, about 36 minutes each[2](https://www.123telugu.com/mnews/vyooham-makes-its-ott-debut.html) • [3](https://www.justwatch.com/in/tv-show/vyooham) |\n| Premiere | 14 December 2023, Amazon Prime Video, with English subtitles[2](https://www.123telugu.com/mnews/vyooham-makes-its-ott-debut.html) |\n| Creator | Written and directed by Sashikanth Srivaishnav Peesapati; produced by Supriya Yarlagadda, Annapurna Studios[1](https://www.cinemaexpress.com/telugu/news/2023/Dec/11/prime-video-announces-vyooham-a-new-telugu-original-50278.html) |\n| Lead cast | Sai Sushanth Reddy, Chaitanya Krishna, Ravindra Vijay, with Preethi Asrani, Pavani Gangireddy, and Shashank[1](https://www.cinemaexpress.com/telugu/news/2023/Dec/11/prime-video-announces-vyooham-a-new-telugu-original-50278.html) |\n| Setting | Hyderabad[4](https://www.cinemaexpress.com/ott/news/2023/Dec/13/vyooham-trailer-outa-cat-and-mouse-game-with-progressively-rising-stakes-50350.html) |\n| Reception | IMDb rating 7.5/10 from 311 votes; age rating UA16+[5](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt30401803/) • [3](https://www.justwatch.com/in/tv-show/vyooham) |\n\n## Spoilers\n\n### Premise\n\nThe series follows Arjun Ramachandra (Sai Sushanth Reddy), a newly appointed [Indian Police Service](https://www.edgepedia.org/indian-police-service) officer assigned to a hit-and-run case in which a pregnant woman, Jessica, is injured and loses her child, while her husband Michael (Chaitanya Krishna) is left devastated[4](https://www.cinemaexpress.com/ott/news/2023/Dec/13/vyooham-trailer-outa-cat-and-mouse-game-with-progressively-rising-stakes-50350.html) • [6](https://tv.apple.com/it/show/vyooham/umc.cmc.4in4tc7izgp2m78vg0r7ixl2q?l=en). What appears to be an open-and-shut case expands into a web of seemingly unconnected people: to solve it, the officer must pursue a serial killer, a trained naxal, a suspended cop, and a terrorist organization, while confronting his own painful past[7](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/73657/vyooham).\n\nThe trailer presents the investigation as a cat-and-mouse game with rising stakes. Arjun explains why he joined the police, deals with a suspect who is an ex-naxal linked to jihadi elements, and locks horns with Michael, who involves himself in the investigation as a matter of personal vendetta[4](https://www.cinemaexpress.com/ott/news/2023/Dec/13/vyooham-trailer-outa-cat-and-mouse-game-with-progressively-rising-stakes-50350.html). Later episodes connect the accident to a foiled terror attack and a task force investigation[6](https://tv.apple.com/it/show/vyooham/umc.cmc.4in4tc7izgp2m78vg0r7ixl2q?l=en).\n\n### Cast and characters\n\nPrincipal cast members and their characters, as listed by IMDb[5](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt30401803/):\n\n- Sai Sushanth Reddy as Arjun Ramachandra\n- Chaitanya Krishna as Michael Manohar\n- Ravindra Vijay as Akbar\n- Shashank as Chaitanya\n- Preethi Asrani as Niharika\n- Pavani Gangireddy as Jessica\n- Keshav Deepak as DCP Nandakumar\n- Swetaa Varma as Vani Ramachandra\n\n## Production and release\n\nProducer Supriya Yarlagadda of Annapurna Studios described the show's vision as a story that \"unfolds like a puzzle and rewards a viewer's attention\"[4](https://www.cinemaexpress.com/ott/news/2023/Dec/13/vyooham-trailer-outa-cat-and-mouse-game-with-progressively-rising-stakes-50350.html). The technical crew includes cinematographer K Sidhardha Reddy, editor Sai Murali, production designer Kiran Kumar Manne, and composer Sriram Maddury[4](https://www.cinemaexpress.com/ott/news/2023/Dec/13/vyooham-trailer-outa-cat-and-mouse-game-with-progressively-rising-stakes-50350.html) • [8](https://filmyfocus.com/web-series/vyooham).\n\nVyooham was announced in December 2023 as a Prime Video original and premiered on 14 December 2023[1](https://www.cinemaexpress.com/telugu/news/2023/Dec/11/prime-video-announces-vyooham-a-new-telugu-original-50278.html). It was the third Telugu Prime Video original released that year, after *[Kumari Srimathi](https://www.edgepedia.org/kumari-srimathi)* starring [Nithya Menen](https://www.edgepedia.org/nithya-menen) and Vikram K Kumar's *Dhootha* with [Naga Chaitanya](https://www.edgepedia.org/naga-chaitanya)[1](https://www.cinemaexpress.com/telugu/news/2023/Dec/11/prime-video-announces-vyooham-a-new-telugu-original-50278.html). The series streams in 4K with subtitles in English, Spanish, French, and Turkish, and carries a UA16+ age rating[3](https://www.justwatch.com/in/tv-show/vyooham).\n\n## Reception\n\nThe series holds a 7.5/10 rating on IMDb from 311 user votes[5](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt30401803/). On JustWatch's popularity charts it reached a highest position of 11, spent 5 days in the Top 100, and 134 days in the Top 1000[3](https://www.justwatch.com/in/tv-show/vyooham).\n\n## Distinct works of the same name\n\nA separate Telugu political drama film titled *Vyooham*, directed by [Ram Gopal Varma](https://www.edgepedia.org/ram-gopal-varma) and starring [Ajmal Ameer](https://www.edgepedia.org/ajmal-ameer) and Manasa Radhakrishnan, was released theatrically on 2 March 2024 after a censor-certificate dispute in the Telangana High Court[9](https://www.filmibeat.com/telugu/movies/vyooham/story.html) • [10](https://telanganatoday.com/telangana-high-court-halts-rgvs-vyooham-movie-release).
