Pocket Films latest original, \u2018Chhori Paagal Se\u2019, brings desi humour, crime, chaos and a fierce female lead to the fast-paced vertical micro-drama storytelling<\/em><\/p>\n

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 14:<\/strong> Pocket Films has launched Chhori Paagal Se, its latest original micro-drama and a bold new addition to its growing slate of vertical-format Indian stories.<\/p>\n

Set against the raw, colourful and unpredictable backdrop of Meerut, Chhori Paagal Se<\/strong> is a fast-paced crime comedy built around Anaya Chaudhary, a young woman everyone dismisses as reckless, spoiled and impossible to control. But when a kidnapping attempt goes wrong, Anaya refuses to play victim. Instead, she takes charge of the chaos and turns a ransom plan into a wild battle of power, survival and identity.<\/p>\n

Blending crime, comedy, action, local flavour and unexpected twists, the show gives the familiar gangster space a fresh desi treatment. With an unapologetic female protagonist at its centre, Chhori Paagal Se<\/strong> reflects Pocket Films\u2019 focus on original Indian stories that are rooted, entertaining and built for today\u2019s mobile-first audience.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the vertical show, Saameer Mody, Founder, Pocket Films,<\/strong> said,
\u201cPocket Films has always believed in backing differentiated Indian stories. With Chhori Paagal Se<\/strong>, we wanted to bring audiences one more show that breaks away from the predictable micro-drama template. It has crime, comedy, chaos and a strong female lead, but its biggest strength is its rooted Indian flavour. This is exactly the kind of original, high-energy storytelling we want to build on Pocket Films.\u201d<\/p>\n

The launch of Chhori Paagal Se<\/strong> follows audience interest in Pocket Films originals such as Vidushi, Chaturanga, Beqaboo, Gone Girls<\/strong> and Rivals<\/strong>, as the platform continues to strengthen its slate of crime, thriller, revenge, betrayal and conflict-driven stories. At the same time, the show expands the platform\u2019s creative range by bringing humour and a rebellious female lead into the crime-comedy space.<\/p>\n

Directed by Yogi Chopra<\/strong> and starring Riya Choudhary<\/strong> in the lead role, the series brings together local flavour, fast-moving storytelling and the compact rhythm of the vertical format.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the experience, Yogi Chopra, Show Director,<\/strong> said, \u201cChhori Paagal Se<\/strong> was an enriching experience for me as a director and filmmaker. Working with local actors from Meerut and Delhi was fantastic and added the earthy tone we wanted for the show. Micro-dramas have arrived, and we want to tell stories that resonate with audiences across the country. Pocket Films is giving us that opportunity and creative freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Priya Goswami,<\/strong> who plays Katrina in the series, said, \u201cBeing part of Chhori Paagal Se<\/strong> has been a truly enriching and memorable experience. Working with Yogi Chopra sir as director, alongside a talented team and wonderful co-actors, has been an absolute privilege. Exploring the vertical format while shooting across Uttar Pradesh brought a distinct freshness and authenticity to the series. I\u2019m truly grateful to have been part of this journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chhori Paagal Se<\/strong> is now streaming exclusively<\/strong> on the Pocket Films app<\/strong>. Viewers can watch the opening episodes and continue the full story through Pocket Films\u2019 flexible access options.<\/p>\n
