Poacher

Poacher is an enthralling Malayalam-language crime drama that draws its narrative from real events tied to ivory poaching in the dense forests of Kerala. The series is set in 2015 and unfolds against the stunning yet treacherous backdrop of Malayattoor, Vazhachal, and Munnar. It captures the relentless fight of forest officials, police officers, and concerned civilians as they wage war against an international poaching syndicate.

The story kicks off with the brutal killing of a majestic elephant in Kerala’s forests, leaving behind a trail of sorrow and evidence that points toward a high-stakes ivory poaching network. The Indian Forest Service (IFS) steps in, spearheading “Operation Shikkar” to dismantle the crime ring. The syndicate is revealed to have ties with global criminal organizations such as the Yakuza and the Triad, making the operation not only dangerous but politically complex.

Alan Joseph (played by Roshan Mathew), a passionate forest officer, teams up with Neel Banerjee (Dibyendu Bhattacharya), a seasoned wildlife activist. Together, they delve deep into the underbelly of the poaching world, where greed and exploitation reign supreme. Alongside them is Mala Jogi (Nimisha Sajayan), a fearless journalist who risks her life to expose the atrocities committed in the name of profit.

As the investigation intensifies, the series uncovers layers of corruption, from local operatives to high-ranking officials. The narrative shifts between personal struggles, ethical dilemmas, and the stark reality of wildlife conservation in modern India. The emotional toll on the characters is palpable, as each grapples with the cost of their involvement in the operation.

The series masterfully portrays the emotional bond between humans and nature while highlighting the devastating consequences of greed. With its stunning cinematography, gripping script, and heart-wrenching performances, Poacher immerses viewers in a story that is as haunting as it is thought-provoking.
