Ashim Ahluwalia (Director) & Niharika Singh (Co Producer) with Hrishi K - Class

The HrishiKay Sessions

`class` is made for ott and couldn’t be anywhere else! It’s smoulders and keeps burning like coal - and it ignites all our senses . For lovers of the original show I don’t know what you are feeling but I hadn’t seen `elite` . I came in expecting nothing and went out dazzled. The exploration of teen sexuality and experimentation, the visuals, drama and recreation of both sides of the train tracks - the ultra rich and the ultra poor. The rich kids aren’t even aware of any caste system - to them the poor are just one large lower caste . And the poor - well they go about segregating themselves and the poor kids sure know which caste they are in. The murder, the killing, the whodunnit, the drug culture (shake yourself up - it exists - and even in schools not just colleges and beyond ) were just portrayed the way they should be - real and gritty. Guys like rajesh devraj & kersi khambatta and are master writers who understand the underbelly as well as the upper echelons of society which is why the writing is so good . ashim ahluwalia was always a director who’s work was provocative and he’s pushed the ante on this one. The kids have all worked themselves hard. anjali sivaraman, piyush khati, madhyama segal, naina b, gurfateh pirzada, cwaayal singh are amazing and really this series once it releases will see the birth of some stars - some might even become overnight sensations. There are a bunch of cinematographers who’ve worked on ‘class’ - one of them is tapan basu who shot `kahani` - one of my favourite franchises. The look and feel of both the high society kids and their dwellings juxtaposed with the slum kids and their dwellings is something I loved. The series is streaming on netflix now so go watch!🤩 and here are director ashim & co producer niharika singh on this podcast with me reliving the making of class with me. “The HrishiKay Sessions” are produced & presented by Hrishikesh Kannan popularly known as Hrishi K Thanks for listening.
