Vikram Bhatt, who has earlier made web series like Twisted and Maaya, will start shooting for his next web series on 27th October in Mumbai, India. The series, which is titled Dirty Games, stars Sandeepa Dhar and Omkar Kapoor in lead roles. It’s an eight-episode web series and the shooting will take place with all the necessary precautions.


Vikram Bhatt is known for his films like Ghulam, Raaz franchise, 1920, and more. Recently, while talking about his experience of working on web series, the filmmaker said, "I was probably the first one to start serious fiction on the net. Maaya and Twisted are in their fourth season now and that makes me really happy. However, in these years the OTT game has changed and both the content and the competition are much more fierce. Showbiz is like a game of cricket. You need to get out there and play a scintillating knock every once in a while. Here is to another scintillating knock, knock on wood!"

Dirty Games revolves around a psychiatrist who gets caught in the middle of a murder. The series also stars Khaled Siddiqui, Samay Thakkar, Vyas Hemang, Trishaan Singh Maini, Tanvi Thakkar, Coral Bhamra, Ashwin Kaushal, and Prakash Jha. It will stream on MX Player.

Talking about his movies, Vikram Bhatt’s last film was Hacked which starred Hina Khan in the lead role. Though the film didn’t get a great response at the box office, it was appreciated when it later started streaming on an OTT platform.

Euphoria

The series often opts for surface-level provocation, leaving its themes underexplored

'Euphoria' is all sex, drugs and toxic relationships with barely any story left

Highlights

  • Zendaya, Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney return for the third and final season
  • Series leans heavily on explicit themes, with limited narrative depth
  • Four-year time jump reshapes characters but offers little progression
  • Moments of emotional weight remain, but are largely overshadowed

From cultural moment to creative fatigue

When Euphoria first arrived in 2019, it sparked debate for its raw depiction of teenage life, pairing explicit content with striking visuals and a strong emotional core. Its mix of stylised storytelling and difficult subject matter set it apart, while its young cast quickly rose to prominence.

In its third and final season, that balance appears to have shifted. The show retains its provocative tone but offers less of the layered storytelling that once gave it weight.
