MX Player has released a thrilling crime series called Virodh, set in the gritty world of illegal sand mining in Western Uttar Pradesh. The MX Original series follows the story of Kajri, a young sportswoman whose life is turned upside down after her father and brother are brutally murdered. Kajri finds herself at the mercy of her ruthless uncle Brijbhan, who takes over the family's business and plans to marry her off to Vishesh, the son of a powerful local politician.

Kajri defies Brijban's plans by eloping with her high school sweetheart Gogi, hoping to build a life together away from the violence and corruption that surrounds them.
