Netflix’s newest Hindi Original series follows “an ordinary man’s wild ride through chaos and secrets.” Here’s everything you need to know.
The latest series in Netflix’s growing collection of Original Indian shows is Tribhuvan Mishra: CA Topper. (The “CA” in the title stands for “Chartered Accountant.”) The show follows a top-performing finance professional’s unusual—and ultimately dangerous—career path.
The darkly comical, suspense-filled ride comes from showrunner Puneet Mishra, who created the award-winning series Mirzapur for Amazon Prime. Mishra shares directing credits on Tribhuvan Mishra with Amrit Raj Gupta. Writers Sumit Purohit, Aarti Raval, and Karan Vyas also contributed to the show.
What is the plot of Tribhuvan Mishra: CA Topper?
Here’s how Netflix describes the show’s plot:
A banking crisis forces CA topper Tribhuvan Mishra to take up sex work. Will this dual existence alleviate his troubles — or create entirely new ones?
Showrunner Puneet Krishna elaborates on creating the series: “Tribhuvan Mishra’s transformation, driven by desperation and the need to survive, gave us a rich canvas to play with themes of ethics, survival, and those tricky unintended consequences. Writing this series was all about striking the perfect balance between humor and the serious choices he has to make.”
Who is cast in Tribhuvan Mishra: CA Topper?
