Commenting on the premise and themes of Kaalkoot, Vijay Varma said, "Kaalkoot is a coming-of-age story of Ravi, the character I portray, and I believe it will undoubtedly be a transformative experience for anyone who watches it.  The show digs deep into our souls, challenging how we see ourselves and reveals the hidden sides of humanity, the parts we often overlook. I am sure that it will leave viewers to reflect and raise important questions and spark a meaningful dialogue.”

Shweta Tripathi Sharma added, "Kaalkoot is a coming-of-age drama of a cop. A cop who is trying to become a “man”. And in the process, he investigates a crime which makes him question the very meaning of the word - Man. What does it mean to be a man? And is that definition right? What is the right definition? And how that definition effects society and affects the existence and value of woman? This is a cop crime drama where solving a crime forces the protagonist and also the audience investigate their own lives, their own behaviour and their own belief system. "

Prepare to embark on a gripping and introspective journey with Kaalkoot that challenges the status quo and uncovers the hidden monsters within us all. Catch it on JioCinema for free starting from 27th July!
