This 10-episode medical thriller has no superstars, yet became a hit, has 7.6 IMDb rating, its name is…
If you enjoy layered stories built on real-world issues, this one's for you. In 2022, a web series titled Human dropped on Disney+ Hotstar without much fanfare. No massive promotions, no household names leading the cast—but what it had was a storyline that hits hard. In a time where content is everywhere, Human stood out not because of glitz, but because of guts. What's Human all about? Set in the underbelly of the healthcare world, Human explores the shocking reality of illegal drug trials on poor people. It doesn't sugar-coat anything. Instead, it shows how far pharmaceutical giants can go when driven by profit, even if that means putting lives at risk. The plot takes us deep into the workings of hospitals, research labs, and the blurred lines between morality and ambition. Each episode pulls you deeper into a system that seems all too believable—and that's what makes it haunting. Performances that will stay with you Shefali Shah and Kirti Kulhari lead the cast, and both actresses are phenomenal. They play characters who are complex, flawed, and entirely unforgettable. Shefali in particular delivers one of her finest performances to date. Other strong performances come from Ram Kapoor, Seema Biswas, Vishal Jethwa, and Riddhi Kumar, all of whom lend weight to a story that's already heavy with tension. Binge-worthy with a message Human has 10 episodes, and chances are you'll fly through them. The writing is sharp, the direction is focused, and the pace rarely falters. It's the kind of show you think about long after it's over. Where to watch? The series is streaming now on Disney+ Hotstar.

Shefali Shah On Flying Amid ‘Bizarre Aviation Pandemic': ‘Even Now I Feel Butterflies…'
Delhi Crime actress Shefali Shah opened up about the simple joy of taking a flight, sharing how recent events in aviation have made her reflect on the experience of travel. Delhi Crime actress Shefali Shah is quite active on social media and enjoys sharing her thoughts, musings, and opinions on Instagram. In her latest post, she shared a photo of herself on a flight along with a lengthy caption expressing her deep love for flying. She wrote that even after years of travel, she enjoys every step of the journey, including checking in, browsing shops, watching the plane take off. She admitted that the ongoing 'bizarre aviation pandemic' made her look back and reflect on the experience of travel. She mentioned that despite countless flights, it had never crossed her mind that any one of them could be her last. She said that she isn't naïve or taking life for granted, but is rather grateful for being safe and truly prays for the safety of every passenger flying anywhere in the world. In the caption of her latest Instagram post, Shefali Shah wrote, 'I love flying. I can't remember the first time I flew or how I felt, but it must be similar to what I feel even today. Unadulterated excitement. I can't sleep a wink before I travel. Many choose to go cut-to-cut to their flight time; I like to go early, especially for middle-of-the-night flights. Inside the airport is a world wide awake as the outside sleeps. Then checking in, loading the bags, hoping they aren't overweight, strapping on the hand baggage tag (which they don't give anymore), getting my boarding pass. Even if I've pre-selected the seat, still confirming, 'It's a window seat na?" And rejoicing when it is, like I got a surprise gift." She further added that in the next 2 hours, she enjoys going into stores, picking a coffee and buying books. Then when boarding is announced, she heads to the gate, enters the plane and excitedly looks for her seat. 'I'm not proud of it, but like many, I don't intently watch the safety demo, I've seen it a thousand times. And I don't think I'm ever going to need an emergency protocol. I message my family 'Taking off," switch off my phone, and along with it, I switch off the outside world. As the plane taxis, I sit, eyes glued to the window. Little lights blinking. Multiple planes waiting in queue. Music fades, engines roar, and this beast we take for granted rises, nose up." She further continued, 'Even now, I feel awed. Even now, I feel butterflies in my tummy. But the bizarre ongoing aviation pandemic made me look back and I realised, NOT ONCE… in all these years of travel, has it occurred to me this may be the last journey I'll ever take. No, I'm not naive or taking life for granted. I'm grateful for being safe and blessed, and I truly hope and pray that so is everyone flying anywhere in the world." On the work front, Shefali was last seen in the acclaimed film Three of Us, co-starring Jaideep Ahlawat and Swanand Kirkire. She will be next seen in Delhi Crime Season 3 along with Rajesh Tailang and Rasika Duggal. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
