The show’s plot is based on Rumi, a vampire (played by Tanya Maniktala) falling in love with a shy dentist, Roy (Shantanu Maheshwari) in Kolkata and how their romantic journey entails the elements of comedy, thrill and suspense. The main storyline begins when Rumi breaks one of her fangs while on a “hunt” and is forced to get it treated by a “human” dentist!

Tooth Pari: When Love Bites is directed by Pratim D. Gupta who is well-known as a film critic and journalist and has directed several films in Bengali, but the show will mark his directorial debut in the Hindi language.
