Hungama Play, a leading video on demand platform owned by Hungama Digital Media, today launched ‘Ratri Vela Yatrikulu’, a Hungama Original in Telugu. An anthology, the show features 5 unique and thought-provoking stories set in redlight 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 visit 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! Produced by Anil V Kumar Productions in association with Hungama Digital Media, all episodes of the show have been directed by Anil V Kumar.

The show is now available to stream on Hungama Play, Hungama’s video-on-demand platform.
