First of all wishing all my readers and followers a very Happy Friendship Day. Hope you guys would have made great plans with all your friends. After all they are the ones who are like second family to us. Isn’t that right. As far as I am concerned I am caught up with my course work and internship. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t provide you the insights into what I watch and read .

So this week I present to you(actually Unacademy presents to you with The Viral Fever )The Kota Factory. Kota is a small town situated in the state of Rajasthan. Actually only two things has made the place famous : its kachori and its penchant for producing toppers for IIT-JEE and NEET. Well for the uninitiated , IIT-JEE and NEET are the two gateways to aspirants aiming to become engineers and doctors of the future. Most of the students start as early as 9th standard to get into the so called prestigious Indian Institute Of Technology and The All India Institute of Medical Sciences.

The Kota Factory is actually a take on the flourishing coaching industry of the place. It tries to explore the so called coaching industry through the characters of Vaibhav Pandey, Uday, and Meena. Vaibhav Pandey is a bright student who moves to Kota from Itarsi to increase his chances to get into the so called “IITs”. At first he is uncomfortable with the place as the food is not to his liking and the water doesn’t suit him. Enter Jeetu Bhaiya, an ex IITian , an agony aunt and a Physics faculty in Prodigy classes. He inspires Vaibhav to have faith in himself. However a time comes when Vaibhav has to take a tough call(be assured no spoilers here). It is Jeetu Bhaiya who inspires him to broaden his thinking and horizons. Does Vaibhav follow Jeetu Bhaiya’s advice? That is for you guys to find out.

The script is well written , the characters crack the roles. I personally loved the bromance shared by Vaibhav, Meena and Uday. Jeetu Bhaiya deserves a huge shoutout. Also Ahsaas Channa ‘s portrayal of Shivangi Rawat is a fresh take on the portrayal of an independent girl. The show has everything you love to watch- comedy, drama, tragedy, bromance and romance. So do give this show a watch and tell me about your experiences in the comments section. Happy watching fellas!!!!
