Based on a little-known Bengali novel 'Golper Goru Chaande', Afsos revolves around Nakul (Gulshan Devaiah), a failed writer based in Mumbai, who is adamant to take his own life and has had multiple failed attempts at suicide. Tired of the constant failures, he decides to see a therapist Shloka Sreenivasan (Anjali Patil) about his bad luck — something that other people would hail as good luck instead. On his way back home when he gives yet another shot to kill himself by jaywalking, he's handed a pamphlet that points him in the direction of help in achieving his morbid mission. Ironically, when he finally bags a contract with a determined killer, he has a change of heart.

Stop (me) if you think you've heard this one before. (We realise you can't but just bear with us. And no, it's not a Smiths reference.) A suicidal protagonist wants to die but they can't begin to kill themselves. Unsure of how to proceed, they are introduced to a novel idea: hire a hitman to do it for them. This is a popular conceit in filmmaking, so much so that it has its own page on both pop culture database IMDb, and plot conventions catalogue TV Tropes. Stand-up comic Anirban Dasgupta and newcomer Dibya Chatterjee, the two creators of the new Amazon Prime Video miniseries Afsos — Hindi for “regret” — likely know this, which is why they add a new ingredient to the mix: an elixir of life.
