The series is the first of its kinds in several ways - firstly, it's the first Indian series to be in black and white. Secondly, though documentaries and products in general have attempted to talk about Kota and its culture of coaching centres in the past, this is the first to bring the conversation into the mainstream. And thirdly, it engages with several nuanced aspects of competition and student life in the country which cannot simply be written off as absolute truths. Kota Factory, thus, weaves together an involving narrative of friendship, dreams, hurt and the struggles of being an IIT-aspirant.

The latest offering by TVF’s Qtiyapa, ‘Padh Le Basanti’ is a humourous take on the dismal conditions of contemporary schools and the Indian education system. It draws attention to the teachers' deliberate efforts to not teach their students properly in the classroom, forcing them to come to them for tuitions. <br><br> Set in a high school, the film uses Rang De Basanti as its inspiration in a comical way to highlight the intent of the teachers. The faculty leaves no option for the students, but to either cheat or spend money on their tuition fee. Matters come to a head when the topper of the school, Ajay is failed in his exams for being the sole force of resistance against tuition classes. His friends, led by DJ, then embark on a revolution with the help of their new teacher Miss Chu. Will this group of school students be able to provide the spark needed for the inferno of revolution?
