Aarya has been renewed for three seasons, which paints a good picture of the Ram Madhvani show. This crime drama thriller set in Rajasthan about the narcotics business in which families get embroiled is probably one of the best shows in the above-mentioned genre. There is a lot to take away from Aarya when it comes to the subject matter of the show and the technicalities. Ram Madhvani’s direction is impeccable, and that has kept the show engaging so far. Just like Aarya, there are many shows that touch upon the crime thriller genre and explore the theme of dysfunctional families.

The Netflix original Griselda has taken the world by storm, thanks to its fast-paced storytelling and immersive visuals. It really transports you to late-’70s Miami with its costumes and visuals. I suppose it’s one of those shows that you can gobble up in one sitting, so you’ll be looking for some sort of replacement now that it’s over. The show tells the story of Griselda Blanco, aka the Godmother, who took over the drug scene in Miami soon after she killed her second husband and fled with her kids from Medellín to Miami. Although her intention was to sell one brick of coke and set up a new life for herself, circumstances led to a completely different chain of events. We know you’re as addicted to these shows as the cokeheads who fell at the Godmother’s feet. The rise of the Godmother was quick and dramatic,...

The maestros of suspense genre filmmakers Ram Madhvani, Homi Adajania and Sandeep Modi have revealed what makes the thriller genre tick, and decoded their secrets of thrillers.
The year 2023 has been the year of suspense, mystery and emotion-packed stories, with adrenaline-pumping shows like ‘The Night Manager 1 and 2’, ‘Aarya’ and ‘Saas Bahu aur Flamingo’.
The mastermind behind ‘Aarya’ — Ram Madhvani — provided insights into decoding the thriller genre, saying: “I don’t think I’m making a thriller, I don’t think I’m making a crime show. I’m making a show about a family. I’m making a show about a character who’s put into difficult situations. The backdrop of it may be or whatever that she’s going through. It could have been any other backdrop. It could have been an industrial kind of backdrop. So I think that is just the backdrop.”

Renowned Indian actor Dimple Kapadia (“Tenet”) is enjoying a blockbuster 2022-23 with everything she touches turning to gold.
Kapadia had a pivotal role in Disney’s 2022 mythological superhero film “Brahmastra Part One: Shiva.” In 2023, the actor had meaty roles in two of the year’s biggest Bollywood hits, “Pathaan” and “Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar.” And, taking a leaf from the Helen Mirren playbook, Kapadia took an action-heavy headline role in streamer Disney+ Hotstar’s patriarchy shattering drama series “Saas Bahu Aur Flamingo,” which released in May.
The series revolves around four women, the matriarch Savitri (Kapadia), her daughters-in-law and her daughter, who live in a forgotten village in the northwest of India. Savitri runs the Rani Cooperative, trading in products ranging from balms to textiles. But everything here isn’t what it seems – the cottage business is a front for the biggest drug cartel in South Asia.

“I have seen him before but his transformation for this show was unimaginable really. He approached me and tried to have a conversation with me but I just couldn’t place him. I didn’t recognise him so ended up having an awkward chat and moved on.”
Dimple called Deepak a “surprise element.”

Mumbai, May 15 (Ians) Actor Deepak Dobriyal may be a stellar performer but he was dropped from a role in the recently released streaming series ‘Saas Bahu aur Flamingo’ which tells the story of a drug empire run by women with a powerful matriarch at the helm of affairs.
In the series, Deepak plays the role of Monk, deadly opponent to Dimple Kapadia’s character of a drug lord. However, Deepak was considered for some other role by director Homi Adajania, who later decided to cast him as the anti-hero nemesis to the protagonist.
Elaborating on the same, Homi said: “I had actually initially cast Deepak Dobriyal as Proshun – the policeman. He was extremely excited about it, we had just finished ‘Angrezi Medium’ and we were looking forward to collaborating again. I remember him leaving the office and sending me messages asking more questions about Proshun’s character and at that...

While doing a high intensity action sequence for the crime-drama television series ‘Saas Bahu Aur Flamingo’, Isha Talwar suffered an eye injury.
The actor was doing her fight sequence when she got hit on her left eye by a shot through a squib machine,
a controlled pyrotechnic special effect device to stimulate the appearance of the characted being shot or wounded.
She was offered a body double for her part, but Isha said she liked to do her action sequence by herself.
Isha said, “Since we were shooting in the salt pans and it was too dark to see where the squibs were in the middle of the night, the shot accidentally went straight into my left eye. My eye had a huge swelling and I could not open my eye.”
“To compensate for the swollen eye and look normal, I applied double surma in the eyes so on camera,...

Actress Isha Talwar, who is receiving good response to her streaming show ‘Saas, Bahu Aur Flamingo’, got to work with the director of the series, Homi Adajania, eight years after their earlier collaboration did not take off.
The actress heaped praise on Homi, calling him an intuitive director.
She said: “There is something very nice about working with Homi, he is definitely more intuitive than most directors I’ve had an opportunity to work with. I remember when we were shooting the big family sequence where Bijilee is doing some major 1,000 crore maths, she made my maths better, Homi just left the monitor and came and sat in the room which for me was very refreshing.”
‘Saas, Bahu Aur Flamingo’ is a crime drama that revolves around the Rani Cooperative (a cocaine-making factory that pretends to make handicrafts and herbs).

Stories about unexpected people taking charge of family businesses are not that uncommon. We have seen through many forms of cinema how one who was never expected to be the face of change ends up becoming one. We have The Godfather movies and Gangs of Wasseypur movies as a testament to how a candidate who was never seen as someone who would take the position of power takes up the seat only to completely underestimate their knowledge and understanding of their surroundings.
Kapil, the youngest son of Savitri in Saas, Bahu aur Flamingo, was all about not wanting to ever come back to his hometown of Hastipur. But he had to.

There is no shortage of crime dramas in the Ott space now. Almost every other day, we get to see different aspects of the criminal world being explored by filmmakers, allowing us to enjoy them from their perspective. If you ask me, this is one genre that has been oversaturated for the past few years, but occasionally you come across a show or a movie in this genre that shakes you to the core. Saas Bahu Aur Flamingo does not fall into the latter category, but it surely began with that intent. Created by Homi Adajania, this eight-episodic show is a Disney Hotstar Original that is all about women and the control they have over a crime syndicate that has been going on for years, unbeknownst to many. How long will the women manage to keep their secret lives away from the limelight?

Veteran actress Dimple Kapadia, who plays a drug lord in the upcoming streaming series ‘Saas, Bahu aur Flamingo’, feels that the audience is now open to badass female characters on the screen and that the cinema in India largely has evolved for the good.
The series will showcase women taking the charge of the story with guns, drugs and badassery at their disposal.
Talking about the changing attitude of the audience, Dimple Kapadia said: “I think while these themes have always been present in cinema, it seems that audiences are becoming more accepting of them and seeking out content that pushes the boundaries. It’s important to recognise that cinema is a reflection of society, and that society itself is becoming more accepting of these themes.”

Actor Vikam Pratap, who is known for his work in the streaming film ‘Darlings’, and has worked as a dialect coach, with Sanjay Mishra, Tillottama Shome, Pankaj Tripathi and Neetu Kapoor, will be soon seen in the upcoming streaming show ‘Saas Bahu Aur Flamingo’. For his part in the series, the actor starved himself and spent nights in the biting cold.
The character proved to be quite draining both mentally and physically for the actor.
Talking about the show’s story, Vikram said, “The story depicts two gangs of drug dealers out of which one gang is headed by Savitri (played by Dimple Kapadia) compromising her bahus and the another gang headed by Deepak Dobriyal of which I’m a part of. So I basically work for him along with my brother. That’s all I can say for now. I bagged this role through an audition by Casting Bay.

Homi said: “I have known of their popularity, but never been familiar with the saas-bahu genre, though I guess that’s where the name ‘Saas Bahu aur Flamingo’ came from. For me, it was always a story about the women in a very unique family running a drug cartel without the men in the family even knowing about it.”
