True crime is getting its day in court and this time, the verdict is global. Goquest Media has teamed up with producer Sachin Pandey to co-create and jointly own Insaaf Files – Bharat Ka Fightback, a new true-crime series that blends real-world justice with a multi-platform, international ambition.

The partnership marks Goquest Media’s third original production, following the overseas success of its Turkish drama Kuma (The Other Wife) and its follow-up Arafta. Having sold Kuma across more than 20 territories and Arafta in over seven international markets, Goquest is now adapting the same ownership-led, make-to-sell model for original Indian storytelling.

Under the agreement, Goquest Media and Pandey will jointly own the intellectual property of Insaaf Files, positioning the series as a long-term asset rather than a one-season play. The show will be commissioned and distributed by Goquest through dual revenue streams B2B licensing to broadcasters and platforms worldwide, alongside direct-to-consumer monetisation on Youtube.
The collaboration builds on Pandey’s recent breakout success with Thukra Ke Mera Pyaar, which emerged as the most-watched and most-subscribed show on JioHotstar in 2024, cementing his reputation for audience-pulling narratives.

Announcing the partnership, Goquest Media founder and managing director Vivek Lath said the series reflects the company’s push to create globally scalable Indian originals. The co-ownership structure, he noted, allows both partners to develop content with international distribution in mind while sharing long-term value across markets.

Pandey described Insaaf Files – Bharat Ka Fightback as a story rooted in justice and everyday resilience, adding that the YouTube-first strategy, paired with traditional licensing, opens up fresh ways to reach audiences worldwide.

With true crime continuing to travel well across borders and platforms, Insaaf Files signals a shift in how Indian originals are being built not just to stream, but to last.
