“When the city of joy overflows with sin, who do you call?”
That ghostly line has officially promised BROWN- the much-awaited neo-noir from ZEE5. The teaser went live just recently and has already been creating a stir on social media. Especially because a huge chunk of it revolves around Karisma Kapoor playing one of her darkest roles yet.
Karisma Kapoor as the ‘troubled’ cop, Rita Brown
According to reports, Karisma Kapoor will be playing the lead role of “Rita Brown” – a police officer who must figure out the mystery behind some of the most horrifying crimes in Kolkata, and also manage her own personal trauma. She is said to be an emotionally broken character battling alcoholism and prescription pills while trying to solve gruesome cases.
Her on-screen transformation has gotten fans’ compliments online – calling it a “reliable comeback” and a “far cry” from her glamorous image on-screen back in the 90s and early 00s.
A gritty neo-noir thriller set against the backdrop of ‘City of Joy’
Reports suggest that the series will explore the dark undertones of the “city of joy”. The teaser uses harrowing visuals, loaded suspense music, and ominous dialogues to create a nearly noir-like atmosphere. Brown is directed by filmmaker Abhinay Deo and is based on Abheek Barua’s crime novel City of Death. The story is expected to fuse psychological drama with murder mystery elements, making it one of ZEE5’s biggest crime thrillers so far.
