Dupahiya

Amazing series... The accent the dialogue the story everything felt soo much organic and humourous.... Mind blowing work done by bhuvan arora and sparsh both .... Sparsh expressions on each dialogue was top notch ... It's a Feel good series which you can watch with your whole family .... A normal simple storyline about dupahiya ( bike) but in an engaging and funny way ... Rating this 8/10 ... Amazing story and screenplay ... Fabulous dialogues and a very nice village touch in the series made it more new and fresh to watch .... You gonna love this if you liked panchayat.... It has a similar screenplay but it has its own touch of tragedy humour with suspense.

"Dupahiya" is a refreshing comedy series set in the whimsical village of Dhadakpur, where a stolen wedding gift bike sets off a hilarious chain of events.

With its delightful mix of quirky characters, clever satire, and genuine heart, the series echoes the charm of shows like Panchayat and films like Welcome to Sajjanpur. The talented ensemble cast, led by Gajraj Rao, Renuka Shahane, Sparsh Srivastava, and Bhuvan Arora, brings warmth and authenticity to this tale of dowry dilemmas, social media dreams, and small-town pride. Crisp writing, natural performances, make "Dupahiya" a must-watch for anyone craving lighthearted entertainment with a touch of social commentary.

The writing and the direction makes you realise one thing clearly : they're filmy...far from reality !! The desperate accents of talented bunch of actors trying to be what they're not makes you feel sorry for them 'coz the writing lets them down and unable to achieve what Panchayat did...catch the 'soul ' rather than the body ! The director should've done better but wasn't accustomed to the sense of rawness and simplicity of village life which in itself is so powerful that you don't require a filmy situation to glorify the scenes but unfortunately the director repeatedly does so and it becomes heavy for the viewer...

The storyline is really nice. I believe the casting is not that perfect. When you are making a show which talks about a city in Bihar and UP, the characters should be from those regions so that they can touch the soul of UP and Bihar. Here, most of the cast(main characters )are either from Maharashtra or Rajasthan who might have taken training on the language and dialect but didn't understand Bihar and UP. Also, the PR team made a big mistake comparing this to Panchayat which has done a great job in casting. I feel overall the storyline is really good but the casting is bad. Ex: If you hear Renuka Sahay, it feels artificial and doesn't touch my heart.

This series revolves around the discussion of dowry in Indian rural settings. The practice of dowry has been banned for more than fourty years in India. However, it is still practiced out there in the open. It is so commonplace that people don't ever hesitate in either giving or taking dowry. This series showcases the lengths an Indian family can go to fulfill the dowry demands, yet no police officer penalizes the offenders/groom.

The storyline is quite good, specially the messaging at the end. However, some parts seem elongated, specially in the middle episodes. Moreover, the ending seems rushed and everything happens so fast that it becomes impossible to follow. I would like to applaud for the makers in trying to highlight this social evil.
