Bollywood lovers, here’s something different coming your way! The newly released Uppu Kappurambu, now streaming in Hindi on Prime Video, promises a unique blend of dark comedy and social drama – but does it deliver? Let’s dig in!
The Story That’ll Make You Go “Hmm…”
Set in the fictional village of Chitti Jaipuram, this quirky tale begins with an ancient tradition: burying the dead instead of cremating them. Why? Because centuries ago, this practice supposedly ended a terrible drought. Fast forward to today – the village is running out of burial space with just four plots left!
Enter Apoorva, the reluctant new village head (played with charming innocence by the lead actress), and Chitti, the gravedigger who steals every scene. Their struggle to solve this morbid crisis forms the heart of this unusual story.
