Brown, the upcoming web series from actor Karisma Kapoor, has been selected for the Berlinale Series Market Selects of the 2023 Berlin International Film Festival.

According to a press release, the neo-noir drama series, directed by Abhinay Deo of Delhi Belly fame and produced by Zee Studios, is part of a lineup of 16 titles from five continents.

The Berlinale Series Market, which curates series with high market potential, is a joint initiative of the European Film Market, the Berlinale Co-Production Market, and Berlinale Talents. It is put on in close collaboration with the Berlinale Series.

The story revolves around Rita Brown, a suicidal alcoholic, and Arjun Sinha, a widower suffering from survivor's guilt. They must push their personal demons aside to find a serial killer whose belief in his divine purpose makes him unstoppable.

The series explores themes such as depression, irrelevance, addiction, corruption, and deception. "I am extremely happy to be a part of Brown and working with such a fantastic director Abhinay Deo, and Zee Studios who have backed such fabulous content. To say the least, playing Rita Brown has been intriguing and creatively satisfying. "I'm overjoyed that Brown has been selected for an international platform, the Berlinale Series Market Select," Kapoor said in a statement. According to Deo, the show's main themes are suspense and human vulnerabilities. "To be specific, it includes a time pressure element as well as a series of mysterious events that will keep audiences glued to their seats," he added.

According to Shariq Patel, CBO of Zee Studios, the company is committed to presenting stories that can be showcased on the global stage. "Brown is the studio's first attempt at creating a show which is truly world-class, and to be part of the eminent Berlinale Series Market Selects for 2023 is a matter of great pride for us. "The brilliance of Abhinay Deo behind the camera and Karisma Kapoor in front of it will undoubtedly excite audiences all over the world," he said.

Anupam Kher, who plays a pivotal role in the film, made the special announcement on Wednesday via his Instagram and Twitter accounts.

He stated, "For the first time, a film is likely to be released a second time in the same year. Please watch #TheKashmirFiles, which will be released tomorrow, to pay tribute to #33YearsOfKPEXodus!"

'The Kashmir Files,' a documentary about the lives of Kashmiri Pandits during the 1990 Kashmir insurgency, is based on first-generation video interviews with victims of the Kashmiri massacre, recounting their pain, suffering, struggle, and trauma.

The film, which was originally scheduled to be released on March 11, 2022, was added to the Oscars 2023 reminder list when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) released the list of 301 feature films eligible for this year's Oscars. It appears that popular demand prompted the film's creators to re-release the film for the second time in the same year.
