Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 14: Pocket Films has launched Chhori Paagal Se, its latest original micro-drama and a bold new addition to its growing slate of vertical-format Indian stories. Set against the raw, colourful and unpredictable backdrop of Meerut, Chhori Paagal Se is a fast-paced crime comedy built around Anaya Chaudhary, a young woman everyone dismisses as reckless, spoiled and impossible to control. But when a kidnapping attempt goes wrong, Anaya refuses to play victim. Instead, she takes charge of the chaos and turns a ransom plan into a wild battle of power, survival and identity. Blending crime, comedy, action, local flavour and unexpected twists, the show gives the familiar gangster space a fresh desi treatment. With an unapologetic female protagonist at its centre, Chhori Paagal Se reflects Pocket Films focus on original Indian stories that are rooted, entertaining and built for todays mobile-first audience. Speaking about the vertical show, Saameer Mody, Founder, Pocket Films, said,Pocket Films has always believed in backing differentiated Indian stories. With Chhori Paagal Se, we wanted to bring audiences one more show that breaks away from the predictable micro-drama template. It has crime, comedy, chaos and a strong female lead, but its biggest strength is its rooted Indian flavour. This is exactly the kind of original, high-energy storytelling we want to build on Pocket Films. The launch of Chhori Paagal Se follows audience interest in Pocket Films originals such as Vidushi, Chaturanga, Beqaboo, Gone Girls and Rivals, as the platform continues to strengthen its slate of crime, thriller, revenge, betrayal and conflict-driven stories. At the same time, the show expands the platforms creative range by bringing humour and a rebellious female lead into the crime-comedy space. Directed by Yogi Chopra and starring Riya Choudhary in the lead role, the series brings together local flavour, fast-moving storytelling and the compact rhythm of the vertical format. Speaking about the experience, Yogi Chopra, Show Director, said, Chhori Paagal Se was an enriching experience for me as a director and filmmaker. Working with local actors from Meerut and Delhi was fantastic and added the earthy tone we wanted for the show. Micro-dramas have arrived, and we want to tell stories that resonate with audiences across the country. Pocket Films is giving us that opportunity and creative freedom.
