Synopsis
Betaal (2020), Season 1 — an Indian horror series from Netflix, 4 episodes, watch online on iFILM. A CIPD squad arrives at a remote Himalayan village to force through a new tunnel. The tribal elders resist. The mountain is cursed. They were right.
Blasting open the rock wakes a British East India Company colonel dead for over a century, and his full battalion of zombie redcoats with him. Veer Sirohi locks the survivors inside the barracks, but casualties keep rising — one of their own is possessed by the colonel's spirit, so the threat is already inside the walls. Four episodes, no pause between attacks.
Netflix India anchored the story in Adivasi folklore and the brutal politics of forced displacement, which gives Betaal a weight most zombie action skips entirely. Stream Betaal Season 1 online on iFILM.
