OTT scene in 2020

2020 is the year where TV has emerged the savior. It kept people locked up home and happy about it.

DD unlocked the 90s magic for people of India and everyone enjoyed with their kids-next-gen, the magic of Ramayana, Mahab, Byomkesh Bakshi & all other 90s nostalgia. For those outside India there was new & old Web series generated for us on OTT.

SCAM 1992 - Surprise package of this year. Very enjoyable to see the details of a important recent history event playing out in every detail. The nostalgia is only from the newspapaer headline from the 92s and whatever little we could make out of it. It was very useful to see how the whole thing played out one by one and even understood it all now as an adult.

Very impressive Pratik Gandhi as the main character. Last seen by us in Mitron, which was a good movie. Shreya Dhanwanthary playing the equally main character of journalist Sucheta Dallal.

Show did not shy out of using financial lingo and not dumbing it down to some dramatic businessman swagger thing from the usual soaps. 

Production was excellent in keeping things 90s without going overboard. Check out the details in this article: Betting on Bombay: What it took to turn the clock back for web series Scam 1992
