The short-form entertainment space is rapidly evolving, and one of the latest series to grab attention is ‘The CULT’, now streaming on the Chai Shots App. With its bold theme, sharp production, and a unique vertical format, the series has quickly emerged as a hot topic online. But along with the buzz, it has also landed in a legal discussion currently before the High Court.
The show recently came under scrutiny and sparked debate after claims that its plot resembles the Madanapalle daughter murder case. A petition is currently being heard, but the makers maintain that The CULT is purely fictional, exploring superstition, cult psychology, and blind belief- not based on any real-life incident. Season 1 ends on a gripping cliffhanger, setting the stage for Season 2.
A standout element is Rahul Sipligunj in his first full-fledged lead role in a vertical OTT series. Playing a police officer investigating the baba’s world, he brings a fresh intensity beyond his familiar music and TV persona.
Another major highlight is the show’s 100% vertical format, crafted for mobile viewing. With each episode running around two minutes, The CULT is crisp, bingeable, and ideal for today’s fast-paced audience—yet still delivers cinematic quality and sharp twists.
For viewers seeking a quick, gripping, high-suspense watch, The CULT is now streaming on the Chai Shots App, and is trending No 1 on the platform for 8 weeks.
