Jerry Pinto’s book Murder in Mahim finally gets an Ott adaptation, and it covers the very simple subject of homophobia. It explores the matter which is present in various shapes or forms, the distaste for queer men and women is rampant in society, so much so that parents also have a hard time accepting their children. Murder in Mahim gives it a spin by adding a murder to the scenario to bring forward several characters that might or might not have something to do with the crime. It also introduces the audience to a world that many may not have seen, especially post-2009 when the Delhi High Court decriminalized same-sex relations.

Raj Acharya’s Murder in Mahim has been adapted from the famous novel by Jerry Pinto of the same title. Throughout the seven-episode series, we have gotten the gist of the story and how it centers around a murderer targeting people, from gay sex workers to police officers linked with them. The motive behind these killings is strong; it’s a hate crime. The series vividly portrays the harsh reality of their lives in Mumbai in 2013, where it was extremely difficult for homosexuals to survive in a society where they were constantly threatened to be exposed for simply loving someone of their own choice. Here we come across a character named Sooraj Desai, who is married to Hemali but is secretly gay. His sexual involvement with Proxy, also known as Laxman, at the Mahim station led to severe consequences when their relationship was recorded by police officers Padmat and Durra.

In the heart of Mumbai, we see a hidden world behind a toilet at Mahim station, where gay sex workers seek shelter from society’s harsh judgment. You see, these people can’t freely love who they want in the open. Why? Because homophobia runs deep in people’s minds, these people are called “criminals” in society’s eyes. Adapted from Jerry Pinto’s renowned novel, the show Murder in Mahim, on Jio Cinema, directed by Raj Acharya, tells us a story from before the Supreme Court lifted the ban on same-sex relationships. Murder in Mahim‘s story starts with the murder of Laxman, a gay sex worker known in their circle as “Proxy.” He was murdered in the Mahim station toilet, and after that incident, more murders followed, which even included police officers.
