Gangs of Puri – Season 1 (Odia Web Series)
🧨 Plot Overview
The story revolves around two crime bosses in Puri – Babu Jena (known as the "Robinhood of Puri") and Loka Nana. Their long-standing rivalry intensifies when a Bengali hotelier, with support from local MLA Raja Bahinipati, tries to set up a hotel in a fisherman's village, unknowingly entering Babu Jena's territory.
Tension erupts between Babu Jena, Loka Nana, and a third gangster named Nilu. Amidst the escalating violence, a young man named Shiva gets caught in the web and rises to infamy, eventually being known as “Nana.” But to become the kingpin in Puri’s criminal world, one must be willing to take a bullet—hence the series' tagline:
“To be the Nana (Kingpin), you have to take a Dana (Bullet).”

🌟 Cultural Significance
Gangs of Puri uniquely blends traditional Odia culture with crime drama. It portrays real cultural references like bhanga, pangata, abadha, raga pani, pokhari pani, jaga ghara, akhada, and kusthi. This rich detailing brings authenticity and local flavor to the series.
According to director Anupam Patnaik:
“We considered Kendrapara, Ganjam, and Puri as the setting. But the dialect and cultural atmosphere of Puri made it the perfect choice.”
