O Saathi Re release date

The series is produced by Imtiaz Ali, Mohit Choudhary and Shibasish Sarkar. It follows layered characters as they navigate the imbalances that exist within love. From finding identity and personal desires to power dynamics within relationships and the intricate balance between understanding and letting go, O Saathi Re is expected to present a mature take on love that goes beyond conventional romance. 

Speaking about the series, Imtiaz Ali shares, “O Saathi Re is a modern romantic show with a vintage heart. Sometimes, love surprises you by showing itself in the most unexpected corners. This is the story of the growth of affection in a divorcing couple. Affection has a throbbing heart, love is beautiful, but a relationship can be unequal. To be a matched couple can often be a burden.”

“In O Saathi Re, we see that while love is yearning, dreaming, and getting together, it can also be the process of letting go. The characters are multi-layered and lifelike, which is why we went for the highest grade of actors. The cast, headlined by Aditi Rao Hydari, Avinash Tiwary, and Arjun Rampal, negotiates steep curves and sensitive moments in the captainship of Arif Ali, the director. We’ve had a wonderful run of partnership with Netflix with the experiences of She and Amar Singh Chamkila. We couldn’t have conceived this series without them. We present O Saathi Re with love and hope people like it,” the filmmaker adds.
