The second season of Kota Factory—now acquired by Netflix—begs the question: why was this TVF show ever popular in the first place?
We discuss its one-dimensional characters, and its tendency to overuse Jeetu Ex Machina, which involves throwing Jitendra Kumar’s fan-favourite character at every problem.
We also talk about its lack of female perspective on screen, the series’ ignorance of real-world tragedies, and its indifference towards examining why the Indian education system is broken.
