action-packed.” He praised the performances of actors and concept
handling from the director Prakash Jha. Rohan Nahaar of Hindustan Times
wrote that Aashram is “a show that doesn’t have the courage of its
convictions. The self-censorship of sex scenes is emblematic of the
trepidation with which Jha approaches the story. As it turns out, that
ridiculous disclaimer was utterly unnecessary

Story, New Story, Future Story, Season 4 story:
- The
story revolves around a preacher Baba Nirala (Bobby Deol), whose
followers (mostly from the disadvantaged sections of the society) have
blind faith in him and will do anything that he asks of them. But in
reality, Baba Nirala is a conman turned godman, who ensures that his
devotees devote their wealth to him and stay attached to the ashram for
life, while politicians Hukum Singh (Sachin Shroff) and incumbent CM
Sundar Lal (Anil Rastogi) vie for his support in the upcoming State
Legislative Assembly Elections owing to his large number of followers,
which only increase after a pop singer, Tinka Singh (Adhyayan Suman)
decides to conduct tours with Baba Nirala to promote his new song.
- Meanwhile,
SI Ujagar Singh (Darshan Kumar) is a cop who isn't really interested in
his job and simply follows his seniors' orders, until he meets Dr.
Natasha (Anupriya Goenka) in a case related to a skeleton found on the
property of an industrial group which has good ties with Sundar Lal. Her
constant pestering, along with the stubbornness of a small-time
journalist Akhivendra Rathi a.k.a Akki (Rajeev Siddhartha) encourages
him to take up this case, along with his assistant-cum-sidekick Sadhu
Sharma (Vikram Kocchar).
- Every episode
unfolds a mystery that revolves around the Baba Nirala. Whether the cop
will find evidence and prove anything is left for the Part II of
'Aashram' . All episodes of Part II of 'Aashram' were aired on 11
November 2020 on MX Player.
