Powder (TV series)

Heroin) is an Indian crime television series which aired on Sony TV from 3 January 2010 to 24 June 2010.

[1][2] Powder is about the narcotics trade in Mumbai, and two men who are on the opposite ends of the law—superintendent of Police serving in the NCB (Narcotics Control Bureau) Usmaan Malik (Manish Choudhary) and Mumbai drug kingpin Naved Ansari (Pankaj Tripathi).

Both Usmaan and Naved grew up in the slums of Mumbai and chose different paths that eventually put them in front of each other.

Naved on the other hand, while fending off the authorities off his back, also struggles to climb the political ladder of his own business.

The show was widely lauded for its storytelling and execution, but fell prey to low ratings and kept being pushed into the late night slots.
