Amazon MX Player has launched ‘Psycho Saiyaan’, a twisted romance thriller that blends passion, obsession and psychological drama, offering viewers a love story that moves beyond conventional Bollywood narratives into darker emotional territory.

According to an Amazon MX Player press release, the series presents a world where intense emotions gradually transform into dangerous fixation, positioning itself as a romance with a cautionary undertone. The show is now available to stream for free on the platform.

Led by Ravi Kishan, Tejasswi Prakash, and Anud Singh Dhaka, ‘Psycho Saiyaan’ delves into a narrative where love and obsession blur into each other. The series explores how seemingly grand romantic gestures can conceal troubling intentions, presenting a storyline where devotion begins to resemble control and “forever” takes on a threatening tone. Supporting performances by Srishti Shrivastava, Surbhi Chandna, Vaarun Bhagat, Ashwini Kalsekar, and Yashpal Sharma add further intensity and complexity to the plot.

The story follows Kartik, a believer in idealised romance, whose encounter with Charu in Ujjain initially appears to reflect classic cinematic love. However, his actions — from rescuing her family member to taking extreme risks in her defence — gradually reveal a more unsettling reality. The show deliberately mirrors familiar Bollywood tropes before dismantling them, transforming a traditional love story into a psychological thriller that examines the fine line between affection and obsession.

A distinctive feature of the series is its use of shayari and emotionally charged dialogues that deepen the narrative. While poetic expressions lend emotional texture, sharp exchanges signal underlying tension and conflict. The storytelling also incorporates symbolic elements, including the presence of different animals across episodes, representing instinctive human emotions such as aggression, dominance and caution, while maintaining a steady build-up of suspense.

The platform describes ‘Psycho Saiyaan’ as a large-scale romantic thriller that combines emotional storytelling with themes of manipulation, power struggles and betrayal. Designed as a free-to-watch offering, the series is accessible via the MX Player app, the Amazon shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, Smart TVs and Airtel Xstream, aiming to reach a wide audience seeking unconventional romance-driven content.

With its blend of romance, psychological tension and dramatic storytelling, ‘Psycho Saiyaan’ positions itself as a bold exploration of modern relationships, highlighting how intense emotions can sometimes evolve into something far more complex and unsettling.
