‘Scam dramedy’ Waiting Hai turns India’s Tatkal chaos into a crime caper
New Delhi: For millions of Indian railway passengers, the wait for a confirmed ticket is an everyday frustration. But what happens when someone finds a way to beat the system and turns it into a business? Amazon MX Player’s new series Waiting Hai explores this through a mix of crime and comedy.
The seven-episode series will premiere on September 16 and stars Divyendu Sharma and Bhuvan Arora in the lead roles. Directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Sameer Vidwans, the show is set in Patna and revolves around a computer expert who develops software that can help users secure Tatkal railway tickets.
Sharma plays Sugam Mishra, an RPF officer posted in Patna. His routine takes a turn when he comes across a network manipulating the Tatkal ticket-booking process. Bhuvan Arora plays Afroz Hamza, a computer expert who develops software capable of booking Tatkal tickets successfully.
