The parting shot: New shows on web to bid adieu to 2020

December 29: Paurashpur on ALTBalaji and Zee5

Along with the larger-than-life sets, lavish costumes, and jewellery, Paurashpur boasts of an ensemble cast that includes Annu Kapoor, Milind Soman and Shilpa Shinde among others. Directed by Sachindra Vats, the show revolves around the battle against gender equality in a kingdom dominated by men. Every character is grey and they must fight for what they believe is right in order to survive in Paurashpur.

December 30: Yearly Departed on Amazon Prime Video

Comedy special features eulogies for the year 2020 with a line-up of all-women comedians discussing everything from casual sex to beige Band-Aids and everything that we’ve “lost” in 2020. After a year of societal upheaval, plague, murder hornets and banana bread, the series will give 2020 the huge send-off it deserves, from some of the world’s funniest women.
