The web-series is an exploration of familial ties, and marked by the coming together of humour, gravity, efforts to fit in and belong, and the one thing that keeps it all together - love. What the Folks is a validation of the unease and the underlying tension that constitutes most domestic equations. It is a reminder for the viewer that if you are still negotiating your place in your family, you're not alone. Here are a bunch of different and unique characters attempting to achieve the same in a fictive space onscreen.

When talking about college life, the norm is to adopt a lighthearted tone, with a garnish of drama every now and then. Consequently, a show like Operation MBBS which shatters this mould, promises to infuse a fresh breath of air in the Indian web series space. With a potentially poignant portrayal of the struggles of the students of a medical college, it becomes an engagement with peer pressure, past traumas, familial expectations and the constant struggle to perform irrespective of them all. The show seems to employ drama in an artful way, perhaps offering a little bit of something for viewers with varied expectations.

The short film has done the unthinkable - it has attributed sexuality to Indian mothers. This Mother's Day, it provides us with a much needed conversation on the intimate desires of a woman, irrespective of her age. As is true of many Blush videos, this one too intuitively raises questions on behalf of the audience - how can a middle aged mother have these desires? Is this even expected from her? How can she procure a sex toy? - and answers them all. It is wonderful in the manner it shows a confident woman, embracing her sexuality with no guilt or shame, and reminds the viewer that a woman's sexuality is no one's business except hers.

The latest offering by Blush is about the age-old debate - beauty versus brains. The discussion ties up with gender as two women argue if beauty for intelligent women is empowering or not. The film is simply a conversation between three of them, one for, one against and the third somewhere in the centre. They are made to sit side by side in a fixed frame, suggesting how they are all equals in this debate. It further offers a glimpse into the conversation around beauty which might not be entirely unique, but is much needed and imperative for us to go forward as a society.
