I’ll admit right off the bat to not having watched the original British TV show, Cheat, which Mithya has been officially adapted from. Would watching it have influenced me into liking Mithya more or probably less? Well, I’d never know now. What I do know is that ZEE5’s Mithya, produced by Applause Entertainment, and starring Huma Qureshi, Rajit Kapur, Parambrata Chattopadhyy, Samir Soni, Ajeet Biswas and debutante Avantika Dassani, is quite an enjoyable mini-series, packaged with some riveting twists and thrills, and kept extremely snappy at six episodes of just over half an hour each for you to conveniently binge through.

Stories set in hill stations-brimming-with-dark-secrets are in danger of becoming tropes. Mithya, directed by Rohan Sippy, is perhaps the third or fourth that I’ve seen recently, where the picturesque locations become as much a part of the twisty atmospherics as the situations themselves.
This one, which has Anvita Dutt as one of the writers, gets in some fresh strokes for its folks as they go about their business in scenic Darjeeling. A teacher of Hindi ‘sahitya’ is at the heart of this pulpy tale, and it’s a real pleasure listening to Huma Qureshi as Juhi Adhikari do justice to the passages that she reads out to her class, in which new girl Rhea Rajguru (Avantika Dassani) quickly identifies herself as trouble with a capital T.Within a few minutes of their interaction, it’s evident that the student is here to provoke, and when accusations of plagiarism are slung across the room, things quickly spiral out of control, leading to murder and mayhem.
