Duration: 2.5 hrs
Air date: 20 July
It is the misadventures of three university flatmates who decide to start a midnight food delivery service.

With a resonating story line and about perfect casting, this Delhi belly -esque rollercoaster ride was an instant hit and got rave reviews and watch count. But it somehow lost its charm after initial episodes (evident from its youtube page views which went to half from 1.1 Mn to 500k after 3 episodes).
Give it a try and if you feel it's not your cup of tea you can skip it.

One name that immediately pops up when talking about Baked is Tara Brara. A girl every guy wishes they knew in college.

4. Man's World Watch Now

Duration: 1 hr.
Air date: 29 Sept
It's a web series by Yash Raj Films youth wing 'Y-Films'. It is a story about what if women treated men, the way men treat women.

The show takes a satirical approach putting light on feminism. Reminds me of this troll.

MyMovieRack Original :P

The show managed to highlight some of the stereotypes prevailing in society in a humorous yet punch in the guts manner.
It will be interesting to see how it shapes up in future iterations.

3. Permanent Roommates Watch Now

Its story of a couple, who were in a long distance relationship for 3 years, facing the prospect of getting married.

Though this aired in the end of 2014, we are including it in the list as it was the first milestone in Indian web series era, which had taken mass by storm. 2.3 Mn view on the first episode with an average of 2.1M views on each of its episode.

It's each episode is sweet and simple showing situational comedy at its best. India finally gets a break from cliched sas-bahu serials.

Remember this?

2. Bang Baaja Baaraat Watch Now

Duration: 1.5 hrs.
Air date: 4 Nov 15
Another web series by 'Y-Films'. It's the story of two crazy families and one mental wedding.

Initially, it felt as if Y-Films living up-to its reputation (one eyed take of a certain section i.e 'Angineers', by showing how boys can get lucky at Tinder. After all its Yash Raj, messing up with romance from decades.

So lucky on the first tinder date ? Never mind...its Y-Films

And that bachelorette!!

But as the show progresses, they have put light on some issues which our generation choose to ignore to stay cool. Now this dialogue makes sense.

Hum moholle mei rehete hain...hume farak padta hai.

And the father-son chemistry at the end is just touching.

Rishtey zidd se chalte hai

1. Pitchers Watch Now

Duration: 3.5 hrs
Air date: 9 June
The coming of age story of four guys who quit their jobs to start their own company.

It is undoubtedly the best TV show of the year. From its music to its dialogues, to it script, everything is just mesmerizing. As the show proceeds, it becomes more gripping and leaves you to want more of it.

The clever part is that the makers didn't reveal their product/startup idea yet (or haven't yet thought it) and still made the best Indian Web series on Entrepreneurship.

I have two hopes for them in the year 2016, first we would like to see more of them and secondly and most importantly, they shouldn't become the same production houses, from whom they provided us the much-needed break.
