MOHAN AGASHE'S LATEST WEB SERIES Do Gubbare (streaming on JioCinema) unfolds in familiar territory, one that also happens to be his home-Pune. A Puneri all his life, Agashe chose to stay in the city even while pursuing a career in Hindi films in Bombay in the '80s-90s. The Pune in the Varun Narvekar-directed show is seen through the eyes of an outsider (Siddharth Shaw) trying to eke out a living. The people he encounters while doing so include Ajoba (Agashe) who becomes a life coach. The slice-of-life drama, says Agashe, nails the pulse of the city. It comes across in details like a house gate sign that reads, "Don't open if you can't close", and in how the city gradually grows on you. By the fifth episode, says Agashe, the protagonist's outlook evolves from "where have I come to how can I leave this place".
