With time it is now getting clear that creativity, merit and quality has inverse relationship with Bollywood, a mafia kingdom of substandard people...But same time it has direction proportionality to TVF like OTT platform. Just see that how with time OTT has matured with world class stuffs. And TVF is the best example of that. TVF which used to look a spoof content platform with amateurish people trying to come with fresh ideas untill we started seeing content like Yeh Meri Family and Pitchers...is now giving us finest quality shows, one after another. Just take a look on this series of top rated shows from them in past couple of years: Kota Factory, Panchayat, Gullak 1, Gullak 2, and now this masterpiece.
You need to notice the way these guys have put picture perfect stuff in almost every department, and all of them showing great evolution with time: Cinematography is exceptional, screenplay and writing is exceptional with some phenomenal dialogues, direction and editing is class apart stuff...and what to say about performances...mindblowing. Every actor has caught the understanding of their character to such a perfection. I jsut give an example. Just notice the perfection of performance of a comedy scene by Ghuri while drinking...he wanted IAS vehicle having siren sounding Peon Peon Peon...gulping beer...then again continuing Peon peon Peon....and suddenly GF phone comes and voice changes! Preaching goes away! Or the liberative speeches with excellent pausitivity by Sunny HInduja aka Sandeep Bhaiyya...makes you feel that everyone in this world needs one Sandeep Bhaiyya. The opening scene with SK giving lecture in the IAS coaching is a phenomenal scene with phenomenal dialogue, exceptional edition and cinematography, and equally great BGM...which gives you the sense of the way show arrives when he says "Doob jao mere Kachuwon is samundar me..." and the way BGM picks up with panoromic view of skyscrapper of central Delhi. Almost every department at sync, bolstering each other. This is called art of making good show. Book every award for this show, if all the remaining episodes of Aspirants are of same level or better.

These series shows the dilemma of an Upsc aspirant from the perspective of an aspirant itself from Delhi, Old Rajinder Nagar to be precise, the Hub of Upsc. It has similar vibes of kota factory but with a more serious and mature presentation. The hardships of an aspirant is shown without negatively affecting their mental state of preparation. On the contrary, it gives them inspiration despite showing the actual reality.
The actors are perfect and dialog delivery is awesome of all the 3 main actors along with Sandeep Bhaiya. Guri has already became my favourite but what people will be more relatable with is the character of SK. The harsh truth behind the consumptuous hours of preparation and how it toils a person both mentally and physically is well informed by his little monologue in the beginning. Overall, I rated it 10 just because it stays grounded and is truthful to the reality and does not show superfluos characterization. I hope it turns out better than Kota Factory which stopped taking it seriously after the first 3 episodes.

I think we should express our profound gratitude to TVF for releasing such a great content for free. I would say this web series is created in such a way that it should have a perfect balance of euphoria and emotional too. I found Sandeep bhaiya's acting most relatable and impactful. Guri's role is outstanding. I like his modularity in voice tone. People are very impressed by his role. Gasping for season5.
Amazing series with great story and acting. Also very inspiring to learn the difficulties and trials faced by people in power trying to make changes. After kota factory this is the best series by TVF. Great locations and ultimate background music by them and such amazing acting it's really truly international level material. Many thanks to Arunabh kapoor for the brainchild behind tvf for creating such an amazing platform for making such great good content that India can be proud to share with rest of the world actually. Also many thanks for the tireless efforts of the creator and cast crew for making such amazing content.
