Riteish Deshmukh makes a bold OTT debut in the gripping medical thriller, “Pill.” The series delves into the dark underbelly of the pharmaceutical industry, where powerful industrialists manipulate lives for their gain—even if it means sacrificing human lives.
The plot revolves around a curious employee who stumbles upon dangerous secrets. Deshmukh’s portrayal of a doctor-turned-whistleblower is both humorous and relatable. His chemistry with Neha Saraf adds a touch of Ghanchakkar-style humour.
However, it’s Pawan Malhotra who steals the show as the antagonist. His villainous demeanor and devilish smile establish him as a formidable force. Director Raj Kumar Gupta maintains restraint, weaving a narrative that questions the gods-turned-beasts in the pharma world.

In summary, “Pill” is no sleeping pill—it’s a wake-up call to the murky world of medicine. A must-watch for those seeking suspense and intrigue.
