OK Computer: Decoding India’s First Absurdist Sci-Fi Comedy Series

In an age where technology is seamlessly integrating into our lives, the line between human and artificial intelligence becomes a fascinating and complex subject for storytelling. Stepping boldly into this uncharted territory for Indian cinema is the web series, ‘OK Computer’. This six-episode Hotstar Special blends a quirky, neo-futuristic setting with an absurd murder-mystery plot, all while asking a profound ethical question: If an Artificial Intelligence (AI) commits a crime, who is truly culpable?

Co-created and directed by Pooja Shetty and Neil Pagedar, and co-written with the critically acclaimed filmmaker Anand Gandhi, the series is an inventive, madcap ride that is unlike anything seen before on the Indian streaming landscape.

Wiki: A Look at the Mind-Bending Premise

OK Computer is an Indian absurdist science fiction comedy series released on Disney+ Hotstar. The show’s title is a direct nod to the iconic 1997 album by the English rock band Radiohead, which itself explored themes of transportation, anti-establishment, and technological alienation.

The series is set in a technologically advanced, yet characteristically chaotic, India in the year 2031. Holographic infrastructure, self-driving cars, and drone technology dominate the futuristic landscape of Goa, where the story unfolds. The entire plot is kickstarted by a peculiar criminal case: the death of a human pedestrian caused by a self-driving taxi.

• Genre: Absurdist Science Fiction Comedy, Philosophical Fiction
• Creators/Directors: Pooja Shetty & Neil Pagedar
• Writer (Co-writer): Anand Gandhi
• Streaming Platform: Disney+ Hotstar
• No. of Episodes: 6
• Release Date: March 26, 2021

The Story: Murder in the Age of AI

The central plot of OK Computer revolves around an investigation into what is arguably the first-ever registered case of an AI-committed crime.

The victim is an unidentified man, and the prime suspect is the self-driving car that hit him. This case immediately throws the justice system into disarray, as there are no legal precedents to try a machine. The story is structured as a whodunit mystery that draws inspiration from the works of science fiction master Isaac Asimov, specifically his Three Laws of Robotics, which are quoted in the series.

The core conflict arises from the ideological clash between two main characters:

1. Cybercrime Detective Saajan Kundu (Vijay Varma): A skeptical, tech-averse cop from the Panjim Cyber Cell who firmly believes the self-driving car’s malfunctioning was a premeditated act—a murder. He holds a fundamental distrust of machines, seeing them as a threat to humanity.
2. Laxmi Suri (Radhika Apte): An AI scientist and robot rights activist, who leads an organization named PETER (People for the Ethical Treatment of Every Robot). She argues against the possibility of a malicious AI, believing machines are inherently incapable of harming humans due to their programming.

As the two characters—who are former partners—lock horns, their investigation takes them on a bizarre journey through conspiracy theories involving a powerful tech conglomerate (ZIP), a rogue but revered celebrity robot named Ajeeb, and an anti-technology cult leader, Pushpak Shakur. The series then becomes a satirical exploration of contemporary issues, using its futuristic setting to comment on everything from fake news and climate change to surveillance and bureaucratic red-tape.

OK Computer Cast and Characters

The series features an ensemble of highly talented actors who successfully embody the show’s distinct, zany tone.

Actor	Character	Character Description
Vijay Varma	Saajan Kundu	A cybercrime detective with a deep-seated hatred for Artificial Intelligence. His character is often seen as the ‘everyman’ investigator trying to solve a futuristic crime using old-world logic.
Radhika Apte	Laxmi Suri	An AI scientist and the head of PETER, an organization advocating for robot rights. She is Saajan’s intellectual counterpart and an ardent believer in the benevolence of AI.
Jackie Shroff	Pushpak Shakur	The leader of an anti-technology cult. He is a key suspect in the investigation, known for his eccentric and often shocking public appearances, vehemently opposing the domination of machines.
Kani Kusruti	Monalisa Paul	An endearingly earnest police officer, part of the investigative team, who often delivers the show’s trademark deadpan humor.
Ullas Mohan	Ajeeb	A master super robot and former celebrity, who now chooses to pursue stand-up comedy as a calling. His character’s development is central to the mystery. (Voiced by Neil Pagedar).
Rasika Dugal	Satoshi Mondal	A supporting character whose role is part of the broader narrative tapestry.

Review & Reception

OK Computer received a polarising reception from critics and audiences, largely due to its unconventional and experimental nature, becoming what some called an “acquired taste.”

Key Review Highlights:

• Absurdist Tone: The show’s most defining characteristic is its “absurdist comedy” and “wacky” tone, which intentionally uses lo-fi visual effects and primitive-looking robots to create an un-outlandish, but still futuristic, India. This unique style was praised for being inventive and a bold step into the sci-fi genre for India.
• Philosophical Questions: The series successfully poses significant philosophical questions about the future of technology, the meaning of progress, and human ethics versus AI culpability. Critics appreciated the subtle satire aimed at contemporary societal phenomena like media sensationalism and bureaucracy.
• Casting and Performance: The performances, particularly by the lead pair Vijay Varma and Radhika Apte, were generally well-received. Vijay Varma was noted for his ‘Amol Palekar-esque’ dweeby investigator role, and Radhika Apte for her great form as the robot-loving scientist. Jackie Shroff’s portrayal of the anti-tech cult guru was also considered a “terrific idea” and a highlight.
• Criticism: Some reviews criticised the show for a “crowded plot,” a “nonsensical plotting,” and “half-baked ideas” that distracted from the central mystery. The show’s deliberate, off-kilter humour and visual aesthetic were described by some as “too alienating” and making the episodes “feel specifically designed to torture the viewer.”

In essence, OK Computer is considered an ambitious and intellectually stimulating piece of Indian sci-fi that prioritizes satire and philosophical ideas over mainstream entertainment conventions. It is a series that is worth the effort for viewers who enjoy genre-bending, dark comedy, and intellectual storytelling.
