While the story is mostly restricted to the hotel premises, this episode perfectly sets up the characters and their motivations.
We recognise the corruption, the fear, and the power that our antagonists command. It is also clear that after two years no action has been taken despite the proof available.
The acting conveys the trust the girl puts in our protagonist, and the pain they feel for not being able to protect her from her fate.
One qualm is that while the protagonist who is new to this situation is doing everything right, while the experienced agent causes the girl's location to be found.
Since no one knew where the girl was, she could also have been hidden somewhere outside the hotel.
A great first episode, raising the bar for Indian television.
