Aapkey Kamrey Mein Koi Rehta Hai review: Swara Bhasker's horror-comedy series is short on wit and frights
FirstpostA voiceover introduces us to the setting of this five part horror-comedy series. The narrator declares that the events unfold in a city that was once referred to by a name that starts with the letter B, which was then rechristened to a name beginning with the letter M. This ‘unnamed’ city, says the voice, attracts two kinds of ‘culprits’: ‘a****les and bachelors’, but the worst kind, he says, is a mix of both. Within the horror-comedy, director Gaurav Sinha’s story makes a comment on economics and corruption within the real estate market in a megalopolis not unlike Mumbai, where even the cops are often in cahoots with builders. Aapkey Kamrey Mein Koi Rehta Hai, a title inspired by the song lyric from the 1973 film Yaadon Ki Baaraat, has a premise that offers plenty of room for some quick-witted, dark humour, and maybe even a few scares.
