When officials decide to clear a senile tunnel dating back to British rule in India to make room for a highway, they discover that it is cursed. Deciding to clear it anyway despite the villagers' protests, they include a military squad in the project as well. Shock and horror prevail when British-era soldier zombies escape from the tunnel, with bloodshed on their rotten minds.
Betaal Web Series Cast, Episodes, Release Date, Trailer and Ratings
Betaal — the four-part Netflix original that has Shah Rukh Khan as an uncredited producer — has been marketed as the first Indian series with zombies. Except they aren't exactly zombies. Sure, they love to bite and turn humans to their cause. But they don't pursue their prey rabidly. Instead, Betaal's undead operate at the behest of their leader, who can command them and speak through them. After resurrection, the infected remember who they were and talk lucidly. Betaal adds an Indian touch to this as well, with the undead unable to walk past a combination of turmeric, salt, and ash.
