A BLACK AND WHITE BACKGROUND WITH LOTS OF COLORS TO FIND.
Web series's these days are getting more popular than the feature on- screen due to it's content, writing, scripts etc. Some of them are focusing on the dark and hidden part of society with some explicit content and are getting more attention these days as they engulf the audience but on the other hand some are trying to offer attention to people's life and their quest for success or you can say the struggle which we all face in our teenage lives. Here I'm mentioning about 2019's one of the finest gem made by TVF named "Kota Factory" directed by Raghav Subbu.
Story starts from a life of an IIT-JEE aspirant name Vaibhav Pandey (Mayur More) who comes to Kota along with his father to take admission in Kota's one of the finest coaching institute "Maheshwari Classes" which has a prominent record for establishing number of students in IIT as rank holders but due to some circumstances he didn't get qualify for the institute so at last he decides to join "Prodigy Classes" and stays in Kota for further studies as he was in XIth standard. While staying in P.G he gets to meet with Balmukund Meena and Uday Gupta (Alam Khan) his batchmates from "Prodigy Classes". While moving on further he meets with Jeetu Sir a.ka "Jeetu Bhaiya" (Jitendra Kumar) who helps him focusing onto his quest to crack IIT and later is the mixup situations and enthralling changes which we all see in our lives.
The name given "Kota Factory" exactly defines the situation which education system is having these days a number of coaching institutes along with countless number of students aiming to crack IIT-JEE every year. Creator of the series Saurabh Khanna decided to keep the background in black and white to showcase the current state of a student's mind which is having a lot of creativity but somehow fears from losing. The most beautiful thing about the show is that we all can co-relate with the situations occuring in Vaibhav's life. Especially the role played by Jeetu Bhaiya as a smart and a perfect mentor for each and every student for gaining their confidence. Even though the characters written for Ranjan Raj, Alam Khan, Ahsas Channa, Revathi Pillai and Urvi Singh are so optimistic that will make you cherish every moment when you will see this amazing "WEB SERIES". The Viral Fever did a commendable job in terms of research, building the characters and lastly the overall concept to see the inner side of student's journey along with inner dimension of education system. The chemistry shown between Vaibhav, Meena and Uday are so intriguing you will surely get to remember your times of struggle and if you are still in that age especially from Science/ Maths stream it's a visual treat for you to witness. Many of my friends are from Kota and when they watched "Kota Factory" they shared the same thing which they experienced while living and surviving in Kota. The pressure, the environment, the life of students in P.G everything was every similar for them. The shots along with the cinematography is shown in a quite realistic manner by Jerin Paul and Abhijeet Patil as they've focused on every minute detail while playing the sequences either they are from institute or other locations.
The series got so much hyped that it led to bagged the Best Director and Most Popular Actor in MTV "IWM Buzz Digital Awards".
