The much-anticipated comedy-drama series Dupahiya is set to premiere on Prime Video on March 7, 2025. The show features a stellar cast including Gajraj Rao, Renuka Shahane, Bhuvan Arora, Sparsh Shrivastava, Shivani Raghuvanshi, and Yashpal Sharma. Directed by Sonam Nair, Dupahiya is set in the fictional village of Dhadakpur, also known as the ‘Belgium of Bihar’.
The narrative follows the village’s preparations to celebrate 25 years of being crime-free. However, chaos ensues when a prized motorbike, intended as a wedding gift, is stolen just seven days before the ceremony. The series delves into the ensuing comedic journey of the bride’s family and her ex-lover as they strive to recover the stolen bike, highlighting the hopes and aspirations of simple people.
Renuka Shahane, portraying Pushplata, the village sarpanch, expressed her enthusiasm for the role, stating, “Pushplata, my character, is unlike anything I’ve done before. As the strong-willed, endearing sarpanch of Dhadakpur, the role has allowed me to explore and expand my skills as an actor.” She further added, “Dupahiya is a wonderful heartland comedy that showcases the hopes, dreams, and aspirations of small-town India, and I am looking forward to sharing this series with Prime Video’s audiences in India and across the world on March 7.”
Shivani Raghuvanshi, who plays Roshni Jha, the bride, shared her excitement, saying, “Playing Roshni Jha in Dupahiya has been an absolute joy. She’s innocent but resilient, untainted by her circumstances, and unafraid to speak her mind—a refreshing change from any character I’ve played before.” She added, “The entire journey of Dupahiya has been special, from the script to the incredible team. The energy on set made it one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.”
Bhuvan Arora, who portrays Amavas, also expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “My character in Dupahiya is unlike any I’ve played, communicating more through silence than words, which intrigued me and I had a great time exploring his layered personality.” He further mentioned, “The series is a true labour of love, entertaining, hilarious, and heart-warming, brought together by some extremely talented people, both in front of the camera, and behind it.”
The official trailer for Dupahiya has been released, offering a glimpse into the series’ comedic and heartfelt narrative.
