Dupahiya

"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.

It is a 9-episode Hindi comedy web series that revolves around a motorcycle and the chain of events it creates. The series blends humor, drama, and social issues in an entertaining way, making it a fun watch. Performances by Gajraj Rao and Renuka Shahane are top-notch, and even the supporting cast gets enough screen space to shine. The storytelling and comic timing work well, keeping the audience engaged.

However, the exaggerated village setting feels a bit forced. Many actors seem to overdo the accent, which at times looks like overacting. The show also tries to cover too many social issues-like dowry, color discrimination, and women empowerment-all at once. This makes some parts feel repetitive and less impactful.

Despite these flaws, Dupahiya is never boring. It may not stand out like other series in the same genre, but it offers good entertainment and works well as a time-pass watch. Worth a try for a light and fun viewing experience.

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.

A crime free village, a stolen bike - wedding gift purchased by the Jha family to fulfil the groom's sole demand, the village trying to hold the record of no theft in the village by not lodging the police complaint and a family where not a single person thinks by the brain forms the premise of the new series streaming on #AmazonPrimeVideo This series will immediately give you a feel of #Panchayat and the series delivers the same innocence, purity and simplicity.

It is an 8-day journey in a village called Dhadakpur and everything that happens in the village. Writers Chirag Garg and Avinash Dwivedi have beautifully created this 8-day world of a village and its issues, be it dowry, inferiority complex of a dark skinned girl, son trying to seek validation from his father, a Kleptomaniac whom everyone addresses as a thief and so on.

Each and every character of Dupahiya is beautifully acted & written to become an integral part of the story. Be it #ShivaniRaghuvanshi who is torn between her dreams and her lover, #SparshShrivastava who has ambition of becoming superstar by going to city, #BhuvanArora trying to prove himself and also showing his love to the girl, #SamarthMahor who plays Teepu has got the best lines and is so innocent that you will fall in love with the character. #AvinashDwivedi who is the creator of the series and the groom is superb that one hates him for all he does, especially the last dialogue.

The best part of Dupahiya is that the senior actors #GajrajRao and #RenukaShahane - act as strong supporters rather than as leaders of the series. #YashpalSharma as a Police also makes his presence count from a bad to good person.

This is a fantastic comedy web series that brings humour and heart portrayed via rural life of India. The quirky characters, witty dialogues, and hilarious scenarios make it a joy to watch. The chemistry between the cast is genuine, and the production quality is top notch. The roles played by Gajraj Rao, Yashpal Sharma and Sparsh Shrivastava in particular are very impressive. The story line is good if not new, and keeps the viewers engaged throughout. It's a perfect series for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy some quality laugh. Hope the creators have planned for next season which I'm eagerly waiting.
