From Oscar-winning Producer Guneet Monga Kapoor: 5 Must-Watch Films And Series

On the work front, currently, she is basking in the glory of two back-to-back successes – Kill which was released in theatres and Gyaarah Gyaarah, a ZEE5 original web series.

Guneet Monga’s latest venture, ‘Gyaarah Gyaarah’, is a gripping mystical crime thriller that masterfully weaves together two distinct timelines. The series, set in the scenic yet mysterious landscapes of Uttarakhand, begins with the 2001 abduction and murder of a young girl, Aditi. The case remains cold for 15 years until, in 2016, two police officers from different eras start communicating through walkie-talkies at 11:11 pm, unraveling crucial clues.

‘The Elephant Whisperers’ stands as a testament to Kapoor's dedication to powerful storytelling. This heartwarming documentary explores the lives of Bomman and Bellie, a devoted couple in South India who care for orphaned elephants. The film's poignant focus on Raghu, an injured baby elephant, highlights the profound bond between the caretakers and their charge.

‘Kathal’, follows a young female police inspector in Uttar Pradesh who investigates the peculiar case of two stolen jackfruits. What initially seems a trivial matter evolves into a deeper commentary on gender inequality and political corruption. With its blend of humor and sharp social critique, ‘Kathal’ highlights the complexities faced by women in law enforcement and the often-overlooked issues within rural Indian society.

 

‘Masaan’, a poignant drama championed by Kapoor, delves into the lives of individuals grappling with love, loss, and societal constraints in Varanasi. The film explores the lives of Devi, a woman entangled in scandal and judgment, and Deepak, a young man challenging caste boundaries through forbidden love. 

Directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat, the film stars Lakshya as an NSG commando fighting to protect passengers from a ruthless gang led by Fani, played by Raghav Juyal. Featuring intense martial arts and gripping action sequences, ‘Kill’ debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) and has been described by Kapoor as “India’s most violent film,” setting a high bar for action enthusiasts.
