That's the chilling premise of *Bhay: The Gaurav Tiwari Mystery*, the 2025 supernatural thriller that's gripping viewers with its blend of true events and spine-tingling drama.[1][2]
This Amazon MX Player series, directed by Robbie Grewal and released on December 12, 2025, dives into the mysterious 2016 death of Gaurav Tiwari, India's pioneering paranormal investigator and founder of the real Indian Paranormal Society.[1][2][3] Starring **Karan Tacker** as Gaurav and **Kalki Koechlin** as journalist Irene, it masterfully weaves past and present, turning a simple investigation into a psychological rollercoaster.[2][3] Kalki Koechlin, in an exclusive interview, opens up about her enigmatic character: "Irene is a fictional character, but Gaurav and the Indian Paranormal Society were very much real... That gave us a certain freedom in how we approached the supernatural elements while also staying rooted in reality."[2][7] She highlights what sets *Bhay* apart: "You're not just watching an investigation unfold; you're feeling how history, memory, and unanswered questions keep bleeding into the present."[2] Irene's own trauma—haunted by her ex's suicide—mirrors Gaurav's fate, pulling her deeper into a web of eerie encounters and unresolved secrets.[2] Unlike typical Indian horror packed with jump scares, *Bhay* builds dread through atmosphere, subtle visuals, and authentic storytelling, earning an impressive **8.4/10 on IMDb** from over 2.4K ratings.[3][4] Supporting cast like Saloni Batra (Megha), Danish Sood, Nimisha Nair, and Shubham Chaudhary deliver powerhouse performances across its eight episodes, from "Ek Gehra Raaz" to "Woh Tujhe Nahi Chhodega."[1][3] Critics praise it as a standout in 2025's OTT lineup, blending paranormal chills with emotional depth.[4] Streaming free on Amazon MX Player, this series isn't just entertainment—it's a provocative exploration of fear, truth, and what lurks beyond.[2][5][7] Have you binged *Bhay* yet?
