Hungama
Play,
a
leading
video
on
demand
platform
owned
by
Hungama
Digital
Media,
today
launched
Ratri
Ya
Yatrika,
a
Hungama
Original
in
Kannada.
An
anthology,
the
show
features
5
unique
and
thought-provoking
stories
set
in
red
light
areas.
Each
story
follows
a
character
leading
an
incomplete
life
and
seeking
something
-
love,
physical
pleasures,
refuge,
or
just
closure
-
a
man
who
is
ashamed
of
being
a
prostitute's
son
and
has
an
awakening
in
a
place
he
detests
the
most;
a
69-year-old
who
is
unapologetic
about
his
physical
needs
and
refuses
to
be
shamed
by
the
society;
a
jilted
lover
who
comes
to
terms
with
reality
and
decides
to
start
a
new
chapter
in
his
life;
an
18-year-old
who
wants
to
feel
physical
affection
at
least
once
before
he
renounces
all
worldly
pleasures;
a
conman
who
makes
a
living
out
of
robbing
people
but
gets
robbed
of
something
deeply
precious
instead.
Though
they
feature
in
distinct
stories,
each
of
these
characters
visits
a
red
light
area
for
the
first
time
in
their
lives
and
eventually
find
wisdom
and
solace
there.
Their
experiences
may
range
from
sensual
to
provocative,
but
irrespective
of
that,
a
single
night
ends
up
changing
their
outlook
forever!

said,

years,
we
have
witnessed
an
exponential
increase
in
demand
for
stories
that
are
entertaining,
relatable
and
narrated
in

languages.

Ya
Yatrika
offers
five
unique
stories
driven
by
human
emotions
and
feature
compelling
performances
that

Speaking
about

Anil
V
Kumar,
Founder,
Anil
V
Kumar
Productions
said,
"The
show
has
a
unique
concept
that
hasn't
been
explored
before.
It
delicately
highlights
the
emotions
and
wisdom
that
exist
in
red
light
areas
through
characters
that
are
deep
and
sensitive.
I
am
glad
to
have
worked
with
a
team
of
actors
and
crew
that
came
together
in
a
short
span
of
time
and
breathed
life
into
their
respective
roles.
I
look
forward
to
the
reactions
from
the
audiences."
