New Delhi: Among India’s film industry heavyweights, Manoj Bajpayee and Konkona Sensharma stand head and shoulders above the others. Manoj Bajpayee and Konkona Sensharma’s Killer Soup, which is based in part on a true story, will be available to watch on Netflix beginning January 11.
Abhishek Chaubey, renowned for his work on films like Udta Punjab, Ishqiya, Dedh Ishqiya, and others, directs this series, which stands out from the crowd of criminal thrillers thanks to its stellar ensemble and original plot.
In 2017, a lady from Telangana murdered her husband and then posed as his late wife. Their deadly food preference disparity was revealed when they were confronted with a bowl of mutton soup.
The Killer Soup looks incredibly quirky and trippy, a blend of black comedy thriller offering a delicious experience that leaves us wanting for more. The casting is impeccable, and witnessing greats like Manoj Bajpayee & Konkana Sen Sharma is a treat to watch. 1/2 pic.twitter.com/OvQUb2ce3l

Storyline
Series protagonist Swati Shetty is a home chef with big hopes of becoming a restaurant owner, but she is just average at her job. Nevertheless, she and her lover resort to an extreme measure – substituting her husband for him – when a murder interrupts their plot.
To get her lover Umesh to pretend to be her husband, Prabhakar, Swati comes up with a ridiculous plan. But an unfortunate town inspector and some amateur criminals throw a wrench into the works, and chaos ensues.
