Entertainment
Filmmaker Tigmanshu Dhulia thinks the hit series Mirzapur gets it wrong when it comes to showing life in Uttar Pradesh.
In a recent chat, he said the show exaggerates crime and chaos, missing the real diversity of places like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan.
"Location is a huge character in my films. I like doing that because I am inspired by American movies."

Dhulia's latest movie, Ghamasaan, now streaming on ZEE5, takes a more grounded approach. Starring Pratik Gandhi and Arshad Warsi, it follows a dacoit and an IPS officer while exploring what makes the Hindi heartland unique.
