The Chronicles of the 4.5 Gang is a bold and gritty drama that fuses crime, identity, and ambition in a setting that feels both ground-real and mythic. Its ensemble cast breathes life into characters who are flawed, determined, and often underestimated — especially in the case of the “half gang” (the “4.5”). The narrative does well in weaving past trauma with present struggles, and the heist-turned-revenge arc keeps tension alive. While it sometimes leans into genre tropes of gang rivalry and moral ambiguity, the emotional stakes are strong enough to carry you through. The depiction of social hierarchy, power, and respect gives the show depth beyond just action. All told, it’s a compelling watch — gritty, moody, and quite distinct in its ambition.

The series opens with a traumatic gold-smuggling heist in 2004, which leaves young Arikuttan scarred and drawn into a web of violence. Fast forward fourteen years, and Arikuttan arrives in the town of Auran, determined to claim his place in the underworld. He enlists a ghostwriter to tell his story, but this mission pulls him into the hidden circuits of the “flower mafia,” shady temple businesses, and unexpected alliances. Alongside him are four other protagonists — one being a dwarf from a slum — each with their own dreams and grievances. Together, they navigate crime, betrayal, aspiration, and public image, all in the name of gaining social respect and power.
