#ShRT The Family Man (Amazon Prime Web Series) - Review

Last year Amazon Prime dropped Mirzapur on the highly popular crime series of Netflix - Sacred Game season 1. Now Mirzapur did not make me happy and there are also many unhappy face in the audience for Mirzapur. 

This year Amazon wants to change and they put The Family Man infront us. Well just back in August Netflix dropped season 2 (or Finale?) of Sacred Games. So how good is Manoj Bajpayee's The Family Man? 

What I would say it's crime drama as well as family comedy in the same bottle. You can remember the horror-comedy genre of Stree while watching it. 

The gripping plot and so-real Indo-Pakistan political situation work very good with the audience's mind. At the same time the series delivers main protagonist's personal family life where Srikant Tiwari is a mess. It's a fun to watch the family drama of a middle class family man who turns to be best Indian agent in the field. 

I would rate it 4.5/5. 

Just after it Netflix dropped Bard of Blood, from the house of SRK, Red Chillies. I am telling you it is 2/100 and better avoid it. 

Video Platforms for Indian Audience

As the mobile internet grew in India, the audience is more redirected to video on demand (VoD), and OTT (over the top) media streaming. Until Jio breaks the price barrier on mobile data, these services did not get much attention as mobile data was quite costly, and VoD takes up quite good amount of data. 

However as Indian mobile operators started to offer 1 - 5GB data per day, there is a drastic increase in video consumption among Indian population, and we can see more than 8 players came into this market. 

This is a brief list of video platforms available in India, and it's not all inclusive. It was updated til August 2019 and yet not much research done for this article. I'm expecting that more details will be added in future.
