The Hindu
Amazon Prime Video's Dupahiya is a comedy series set in a crime-free village, following the chaos of a missing motorcycle.
Amazon Prime Video has announced Dupahiya, a comedy series about a missing motorcycle in a fictitious crime-free village. The series stars Gajraj Rao and Renuka Shahane alongside Bhuvan Arora, Sparsh Shrivastava, Shivani Raghuvanshi, and Yashpal Sharma. The nine-episode series is directed by Sonam Nair and created and written by Avinash Dwivedi and Chirag Garg.
The story revolves around the fictional village of Dhadakpur, on the cusp of celebrating 25 years of being crime-free. However, chaos ensues when a coveted dupahiya (motorbike) gets stolen.
“With the silver jubilee trophy, a wedding, and the pride of the villagers at stake, what follows is a crazy journey to retrieve the bike before it’s too late,” read a note from the makers.
Sonam Nair, director of Dupahiya, said in a statement, “Bringing Dupahiya to life has been an incredibly fulfilling journey. This series is a celebration of humour, chaos, and the quirks of small-town life, and I couldn’t be prouder of the way it has come together. The incredible ensemble of actors has infused Dupahiya with warmth, humour, and energy, making each character truly memorable and I am certain audiences will enjoy every bit of it as much as we did while making it.”
