Dupahiya Trailer

The trailer kicks off in Dhadakpur, a fictional village—also referred to as the Belgium of Bihar—that is on the verge of celebrating 25 years as a crime-free town. However, chaos unfolds when a never-seen-before motorbike, purchased as a wedding gift, is stolen just seven days before the ceremony! With the fate of the wedding hanging in the balance, the journey that the family—and the bride’s ex-lover—embark on to recover the Dupahiya forms the heart of this comedy, which explores the hopes and aspirations of simple village folks.

This series is the result of the incredible collaboration between Salona Bains Joshi, Sonam Nair, and Shubh Shivdasani, along with a stellar cast and crew.
