Undekhi promises for a good watch

Undekhi: A Dark Compelling Thriller Set In The Heartland

Undekhi the forthcoming webseries from Applause Entertainment and Sony LIV which starts streaming from July 10, looks like the kind of thriller that won’t let us rest easy until we see the last episode. It is mounted with stress on growing pressure.

One promo shows a rotund cop investigating a gruesome murder in a dense tribal area. The other promo shows a politician gunning down a dancer on stage in front of the public and the press.

Wild West comes to the North. Undekhi is a thriller set in Manali, Himachal created for Applause by Siddharth Sengupta. It’s a gripping story that sees Harsh Chhaya making an impressive comeback as a drunk Papaji in a super-rich amoral Punjabi family. And Surya Sharma (Prince from Hostages) really shines as Rinku, the main bad guy and Papaji’s nephew. It’s got a terrific cast of other characters, many of whom we all recognize as names.

The talented Harsh Chhaya makes a debut of sorts on the digital medium with Undekhi.

Says Harsh, “I have never played anything so wild and mad. I am looking forward to Undekhi, hope it works for the audience too. This is a debut in the sense that this is the first one I shot for the OTT platform. But the other two I shot for after this was streamed before this one Out Of Love and Rangbaaz, Phir Se.
