## Premise
Noyontara is a 23-year-old ghost-whisperer who has always lived on the fringes, ridiculed for her rare gift of seeing spirits[12](https://mediabrief.com/colors-announces-new-prime-time-show-noyontara/). The opening episode begins with her strapped behind an idol of the goddess Durga during an immersion sequence, which turns out to be one of her nightmares; she wakes in a temple where she lives with a woman she accepts as her grandmother[3](https://urbanasian.com/entertainment/indian-tv-news/2025/06/noyontara-review-a-promising-start-with-power-mystery-heart/). Villagers fear her and believe she is helped by dark powers, which the story presents as untrue[4](https://www.manoranjannews.com/television/editorial/noyontara-review-colors-tv-good-visuals-but-lacks-emotional-depth/2025/06/10).
Her life changes when she enters a loveless marriage with **Dr. Surjo Sengupta**, a man rooted in science and haunted by a tragic past, and moves into his ancestral home, Pari Mahal[3](https://urbanasian.com/entertainment/indian-tv-news/2025/06/noyontara-review-a-promising-start-with-power-mystery-heart/). Surjo was engaged to a woman named Shaoli, who died after accusing him of causing her death; since then her spirit disturbs him, endangering his life when he tries to drive[3](https://urbanasian.com/entertainment/indian-tv-news/2025/06/noyontara-review-a-promising-start-with-power-mystery-heart/). At Pari Mahal, Noyontara encounters two women claiming to be her mother-in-law, Lalita, and, accompanied by a playful ghost named Hasiram, she delves into the mansion's dark history of greed and betrayal[5](https://www.filmibeat.com/television/shows/2025/noyontara-first-episode-5-reasons-why-you-cannot-miss-colors-new-supernatural-thriller-shruti-bisht-011-464009.html). The show's premise inverts a common genre pattern: ghosts appear as allies and protectors with stories that demand attention, while the living members of the household, many of whom covet the family's wealth, carry the biggest secrets[5](https://www.filmibeat.com/television/shows/2025/noyontara-first-episode-5-reasons-why-you-cannot-miss-colors-new-supernatural-thriller-shruti-bisht-011-464009.html) • [6](https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/noyontara/5374042/review-till-now).
## Cast and characters
**Shruti Bhist** plays the title character. She had been part of the television industry for a long time, appearing in shows such as *Hitler Didi*, *Balveer*, and *Pandya Store*, and playing Mahima in the series *The Family Man 2*[7](https://www.aajtak.in/entertainment/television/story/noyontara-show-grand-launch-who-is-lead-starcast-shruti-bhist-arjun-chakrabarty-tough-competition-to-naagin-tmovh-dskc-2260634-2025-06-11).
**Arjun Chakrabarty** made his Hindi television debut as Surjo. Already a known name in the Bengali industry, he described the move from Bengali projects to his first full-fledged Hindi TV show as carrying "a new level of responsibility", saying that stepping into Hindi television felt like a big leap and he wanted it to be for something special[8](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/arjun-chakrabarty-from-noyontara-ive-worked-in-bengali-projects-but-this-is-my-first-full-fledged-hindi-tv-show-theres-a-new-level-of-responsibility/articleshow/121790490.cms).
**Narayani Shastri** plays a double role, one as a good ghost mother, Lalita (Lolitha), and the other as her evil sister, Lata[6](https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/noyontara/5374042/review-till-now). In a Times of India interview she explained that their conflicting presence leaves Noyontara caught in a puzzle of who is protecting her and who is leading her into a trap, and described the pairing as "not your usual good-versus-evil"[9](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/narayani-shastri-gets-candid-about-switching-gears-between-her-dual-roles-in-noyontara-says-its-not-your-usual-good-versus-evil/articleshow/122301234.cms). The supporting cast also includes Vicky Ahuja[1](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt37531697/).
## Production
It was created by writers Nissar Parvez and Alind Srivastava, who also served as producers alongside Rohit Samanta, with direction credited to Shivam Tiwari and Ravi Bhushan[2](https://pro.imdb.com/title/tt37531697/). Episodes run about 21 to 23 minutes[1](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt37531697/).
## Reception
Early reviews were mixed. A Manoranjan News review, carrying an IWMBuzz rating of 2.5 stars, credited the show with a fresh take on the supernatural spectrum, a ghost-whisperer protagonist rather than the usual naagins and chudails, but criticized its reliance on familiar tropes, melodrama over nuance, and underdeveloped characters beyond Noyontara herself[4](https://www.manoranjannews.com/television/editorial/noyontara-review-colors-tv-good-visuals-but-lacks-emotional-depth/2025/06/10). An UrbanAsian review called it a promising start, praising the striking visuals of the Durga immersion sequence, including a Chhau dancer wearing a crown on the beach, and Chakrabarty's debut[3](https://urbanasian.com/entertainment/indian-tv-news/2025/06/noyontara-review-a-promising-start-with-power-mystery-heart/). On IMDb the series holds a user rating of 8.2 out of 10 from 50 votes[1](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt37531697/).
## Context in Hindi supernatural television
The show arrived in a genre long associated with the *Naagin* franchise, and press coverage framed it as a potential TRP challenger to that franchise, noting that previous Hindi supernatural serials centered on naagins, chudails, and dayans while *Noyontara* took a different angle with a ghost-whispering heroine[7](https://www.aajtak.in/entertainment/television/story/noyontara-show-grand-launch-who-is-lead-starcast-shruti-bhist-arjun-chakrabarty-tough-competition-to-naagin-tmovh-dskc-2260634-2025-06-11) • [10](https://filmibeat.com/television/news/2025/noyontara-full-cast-actors-real-name-who-are-leads-of-nayantara-serial-colors-tv-shruti-bisht-arjun-464253.html).
