Farzi Season 1 - Episode 8 [work]

Sunny's transformation from a desperate grandson into a cold-blooded criminal reaches its zenith in this episode. The death of his grandfather, Madhav, is the ultimate price for his tryst with crime.

The irony is sharp: the forger, a man who creates order out of deception, is plunged into disorder by the very reality he tried to fake.
