Human Review: Shefali Shah, Kirti Kulhari are brilliant in series exposing disturbing Pharma crimes

Disney+ Hotstar's Human focuses on a subject less explored - illegal drug trials. The series stars Shefali Shah, Kirti Kulhari, Vishal Jethwa, Ram Kapoor and Seema Biswas, among others.

"Successful hona logon ki chaahat hoti hai, meri zaroorat thi," Gauri Nath (Shefali Shah) tells Saira Sabarwal (Kirti Kulhari) while narrating her story about how she needed to prove herself to her adopted family, who always treated her as an outcast. However, the need had turned into greed and behind that ever-poised demeanour was a menacing face who could go to any extent to fulfill her ambitions.

Human is a fictional series that focuses on a subject less explored - illegal drug trials and how the underprivileged are lured into being human guinea pigs by pharma giants. Created and directed by Vipul Amrutlal Shah along with Mozez Singh, the medical thriller unravels the secrets of the world of medicine and how humanity takes a backseat when it comes to minting money. The series is backed by a tight script and brilliant performances, which makes it an intriguing watch.
