Intro of Charlie Chopra
The story of the Charlie Chopra revolves around the murder of Meharban Singh Rawat (Gulshan Grover), the resident of Manali, in which his nephew Jimmy Nautiyal (Vivaan Shah) is the main suspect – already arrested – whose fiancée Charlie Chopra – local Sherlock – (Wamiqa Gabbi) visits him.
The police directly blame Jimmy on the basis that his hotel room key was found during the investigation at the Brigadier’s house, and he was murdered by hitting JIMLI company’s honey bottle which had Jimmy’s fingerprints on it.

While Charlie, who has a detective mind like her mother has her own theory regarding the case, personally investigates Brigadier Rawat’s relatives as his brother (Lalit perimo), brother’s wife Janaki (Neena Gupta), their daughter Saloni (Paoli Dam), son-in law Manas (Chandan Roy Sanyal), Billu (Imaaduddin Shah), Vivan (Pulkit Makol), as well as slowly she gathers information about other resident of Solang valley like Wilayat (Lara Dutta), Mrs. Barucha (Ratna Pathak Shah), Colonel Barua (Baharul Islam) and so on.
She gradually finds out everyone’s darkest secret every culprit have the enough reasons to KILL Brigadier Meharban Singh Rawat.
Performance
Talking about the acting, Wamiqa Gabbi steals the show. I read one of the articles which says that Wamiqa is now a new crush in the world of web series.
Seeing her acting, it seemed that she was so much aware of every inch of her expression every time she looking at the camera. Wamiqa looked elegant even while she was overacting. Every single time when she broke the fourth wall and glanced at the viewers, I could not stop myself from going back for 10 seconds to see her mischievous look again.
After Tabu, Irrfan, Naseer, Vishal Bhardwaj has saved another amazing artist for himself. As she will be seen in his upcoming film Khufia too.
The other two women who didn’t let me down were Neena Gupta and Ratna Pathak Shah. Both are excellent performers who can even portray kid roles at this age.
Other actors like Naseeruddin Shah in Cameo, Imaaduddin Shah, Vivaan Shah, Lara Dutta, Priyanshu Painyuli, , Behrul Islam, Chandan Roy Sanyal, and rest all played their role with honesty.
Direction
Well, now come to the Vishal Bhardwaj’s direction, then I am not enough capable to judge him but what I love the best part in the show was that he closed the circle of the series. These days, we witness many web series makers who don’t even complete their season and quickly jumped to another.
But, this show starts from a mysterious room, roam over the beautiful valleys of Solang and Manali, and even Patiala and Chandigarh too, and then finishes at the same horrifying room, leaving no stone unturned in providing the finest climax.
Although this six-episode series might have concluded in five, I thought that some scenes were seems nothing much than fillers. Like a robber snatching Charlie’s purse and running away, and then finding him in the same attire, I didn’t find this interesting, but the final episode, which was entirely dedicated to the climax, cleared up all my complaints.
Conclusion
Vishal Bhardwaj, known for producing award-winning films such as Omkara, Maqbool, and Haider, has created a series with a flavour of mystery, breathtaking locations, spine-chilling music, a climax that forces you to watch the first scene again and and and… the entire Shah family (Naseer, Ratna, Imaad and Vivaan).
Now, if you want to give your brain a boost, don’t miss this series, which is exclusively available on Sony Liv. Kudos to Agatha Christie for that Amazing Murder Mystery.
