The twists are something that will keep you glued to your screens, leaving you unwilling to even bat an eyelid, for fear of missing one of those. The setting is small town Uttarakhand, while the treatment is, well…. Right from the setting to the treatment to the umpteen twists that keep viewers constantly on edge, Apharan is vastly different from the usual shows that dot the digital landscape. Producers, Edgestorm Productions, and OTT platform, ALTBalaji, sure have a winner with this one. It is storytelling, the likes of which we’ve not seen until now. It has elements of everything – it is equal parts dark, edgy, funny, unpredictable, and yes, unusual. Apharan is a crime-thriller-action-drama- mystery-comedy that is difficult to slot into a particular category. In place of the glut of slice-of-life shows depicting the travails of the millennial, Indian content creators are now coming up with hearteningly original fare, the kind that looks inwards that draws inspiration from the expansive, untamed Indian hinterland.Īpharan, the latest web series from the furiously dynamic stables of ALTBalaji, is a sparkling exemplar of the latter ilk. Indian content creators are gradually carving out a narrative style that is distinctly inventive, stunningly ingenious and all their own.
And now, Indian digital-land has its Hindi heartland crime capers.Just as the westerns are singularly unique to American movie history, so also, the recent spate of crime dramas that the Indian online space is witnessing is a wholly home-grown genre of content creation something we, as Indians, should be mighty pride of.
