I know i might be exaggerating a bit or i might I be over-reacting a bit .. But this is getting out of hand.. How the hell are these TVF writers not getting proper recognition for their work... This is simply outstanding work from them.. Series after series they are producing gems which we as human beings can only just applaud to.. Starting from pitchers, permanent roommates,tripling, yeh meri Family, immature and then KOTA FACTORY.. I know everyone is telling that tvf is trying to give stiff competition to amazon & netflix but i think it's vice versa.. Amazon & netflix are trying to give stiff competition to tvf....They may not have the resources to show mammoth battles or big fat Indian weddings but they certainly have the writing prowess to make you cry, laugh,be sad, happy,nostalgic all at the same time.

It's not hard to make a tv series especially on a topic that you have lived... It's like making or writing your own stories so it was not hard for tvf guys because they have lived the life themselves. But, it is not a web series like other. It is a study of the situation and not simply presenting the situation. How we feel, why we feel it, how does it impact our behaviour voluntarily or involuntary. Everything has a meaning including the black and white scheme of the series... Which describes a rather colourless and one dimensional life of a student who has been living with blinders. The while series is a study of all this behaviour.
Thank you from bottom of my heart... -
garvit-juet16 April 2019Whenever anybody would blame about the lack of quality content in India (I include myself too), they are given subtle reminders in the form of some of the most amazing shows. The irony to the same and complain about content, however, is the fact that there is a barrage of shows and films that either go unnoticed or just don't click with many viewers.
TVF (The Viral Fever) is one of the flag-bearers of making the digital scenario the massive juggernaut it is today. Responsible for Pitchers and Permanent Roommates, the channel has now presented another show in the form of Kota Factory. -

aayushsatwat19 April 2019Portrayal of reality at its best. Great script, acting and specially that b/w theme, although b/w but depicting the true atmosphere and backdrop of Kota. Striking hard from the first episode, looking forward for more.

mrroohaan17 April 2019Some series are much more than just times and stories they are about lives. It is that. Untold stories told with such rawness makes it more than anything tvf has ever produced. Script, acting , direction, cinematography, music everything just adds to the flavour of Kota. Brilliant. Touched my heart. Thank you making it.

sudeepchatterjee30 April 2019TVF has been doing the work which needed to be done by mainstream film industry. Content creation is not just a business, it involves love for the filmmaking medium and passion for storytelling. I am happy that real and impactful subjects are coming in web. Kota factory is well made, well acted and primarily tells the story of students who are stuck for two years in Kota's coaching town in hope to crack IIT exams. This rat race for engineering has ruined lives of thousands of students and this madness still is on. Hopefully people can connect to this amazing show and we can watch mainstream movies from TVF soon.

nabeelrockstar17 April 2019Everything about this show is great. Whether it be acting, screenplay, direction or dialogues. It uses brilliant and striking black and white cinematography to express the loneliness, darkness a student has to go through in claustrophobic kota. Kudos to TVF for this great show. This is a must see.

vineetmall17 April 2019TVF guys are presenting a harsh truth about Kota with fun N comedy !! Thanks you TVF for this.

nairtejas24 July 2020An excellent take on the competitive world of post-school education and coaching in India, Kota Factory nails every single aspect of being a 10th passout looking to enter an IIT. But what makes the 5-episode mini series a worthwhile watch is not the description of the life of such a student but the the freshness and partial didactic approach that aims to educate the viewer about the real goal. A must-watch for both students and parents. TN.

sujay-531087 October 2021People might get offended with this but I am allowed to give my opinion on this. This series part 2, if you give an unbiased opinion is absolutely mediocre in all respects. Be it acting, storyline or ending. Only saving grace was Jitender Kumar who somehow managed to keep the flag hoisted. Acting of Ahsaas Channa and several others were downright irritating. I would specially like to comment on the ending of the series. It felt like as if they have run out of ideas and wanted to give the series a closure. Disappointing.

samyaksambuddha22 June 2019Unique idea of black and white cinematography along with brilliant direction deserves nothing less than 10 stars. This is more than struggles faced in the quest for success. This is something that everyone watch and different things can be learned from it. With a well aligned story this series offers us entertainment as well as education. Wonderful actors like Jitendra add wonders to the already well written script. Bollywood and senile directors like Karan Johar, Ekta Kapoor come and watch this offer us something better.

vaibhavbohra17 April 2019This show encapsulates the entirety of the student struggle and the zeal of being praised upon. We live in a system that only rewards students who are good at regurgitate unoriginal information. These intricate stuff would cascade into being a complete introverted isolated individual. Love the cinematography and the writing!

khandelwala-8988123 April 2019Being a Kota Factory produce myself, I had my share of doubts before the starting the series. Doesn't matter what the final result is, Kota days remain a mix bag of good and bad memories.
Thankfully, I made the right choice. Kota factory is very well researched and captures not only the obvious but also the little things that are intrinsic to Kota life. The salty water, obsession for patties, reading English literature while being bored just to ensure your time is optimally utilised - all make the show very real and relatable.
The director also walks the thin line of optimism and pessimism around Kota gracefully. While the show reflects the positives of Kota, it also portrays the perils it entails for a student, ensuring the reality is not misrepresented. The monologues of Jitu Sir are lucid, pertinent, and are well received. -
Jeetu rocks as always. Apart from acting of main character, everything is awesome. Reality is shown in best possible way and TVF knows how to play its cards right. May be my personal favourite, I can tell by watching the first episode, after pitchers.

luckyrocks61020 April 2019This show hits you at the right spot, even though i never allowed myself to be consumed by these coaching notions, I always felt bad for these Average low confidence socially isolated classmates who came as a failure from Kota.

yashy110925 September 2021First season was great but the second one finds its hard to even be called a GOOD.
The second season was just the result of Netflix buying the show. Being an IIT Aspirant myself I find it very relatable but the second season did not work for me. -
Greyrat1726 September 2021The first season was mostly about showing students how about balance school life while teaching you life lessons, and it does that very well.
But Season 2 takes all of that and improves in every way - the direction, story, characters, the change in tone and the dialogue. -
sarasnagle25 April 2019Best indian series ever created . It's shows the real struggle of an Indian students

madhukar3017 July 2020Every year in India 700,000 of students prepare and compete for 5000 odd Spots at the prestigious IIT colleges. Kota factory on TVFplay is a show about a handful of students preparing for the premier entrance exams for those spots through the coaching centre's based in Kota, Rajasthan.
Kota factory uncovers most of the problems faced by these students right from the politics behind admissions, placement of batches, living conditions, study materials, quality of teachers, internal politics of the coaching centres, Marketing techniques, teaching methods, freedom, campus fleecing, friendships, student lifestyle and tons of other problems faced by these poor kids.
Acting of Jitendra Kumar as jeethu Bhaiya a swashbuckling teacher was outstanding. Most of student's acting were natural and good. The show is shot in black & white, which adds a contour on the dull lives of the students. Direction, editing and cinematography were decent and Songs were top notch. Shooting in the real location has really helped the outlook of the show. A chemistry rant by the lead, Vibhav in episode 3 was simply outstanding.
The web series is a much watch for all the Lakhs of students and ex-students who studied in the hundreds of coaching centres in Kota and elsewhere. But it must be duly noted that all work and no play will make students dull and sorry to say that the students of Kota look dull. In my opinion, for a perusal of a better life, a lot of the parents don't hesitate to destroy their kid's lives. The failure and rejection would be too much for the young kids to handle. I wish the makers had brought this up too instead of marketing the Unacademy app in the series. -
vaid-abhi29 September 2021I have watched this show with high expectations and I'm just down with both the seasons. The screenplay, cinematography, acting is a solid 8 on 10. However, I still find (and very honestly) this show to be overly trying to be "cater to all" issues in 10 episodes.
The show starts with a very sincere attempt on what goes on in Kota coaching classes. I've been through all of this and I could relate to the first couple of episodes. However, from 3rd episode onwards, I found the characters unreal. Almost every character (be it, shivangi, jeetu or our main guy) is shown to be a very opinionated, full of wisdom and extremely confident in their demeanor and life choices. This is far (extremely far) from how reality of Kota going students is. This is where this show astrays from this core storyline. Things like, students in live-in relationship with loved ones, students going and roaming around Kota blowing off steam, all very casual, free, inter-gender talk around highly societal taboo issues like mensuration, masturbation and in general long term life advice seems extremely unnatural from students of 11th and 12th. And I'm not even including the fact that these students have from here for IIT coaching and as such students who do go to Kota and get admissions in few top institutes there have literally no time to pursue any hedonistic pleasures and their love interests. This is where characters lose their integrity and authenticity and they look forced and completely fictional.
In summary Kota factory (TVF) is trying very very hard to cover as many societal issues as they can in 1 story. And in doing so they have created characters and storylines which seem unreal and unconnected. -
behappypragya26 September 2021Just the best web series love all the cast specially is my favourite Jeetu I have seen all his series and this one is best but ending was heartbreaking what happened next with Jeetu that his student has committed suicide we want season 3 asap it was amazing music heart touching story Ahsaas a k a Shivangi was just straight forward Meena Meenal Vaibhav Revathi all nice job done.
Meena toh jaan hai TVF (The Viral Fever) is one of the flag-bearers of making the digital scenario the massive juggernaut it is today. Responsible for Pitchers , bachelors, flames, aspirants ,cubicles and panchayat the channel has now presented another show in the form of Kota Factory. -
alighadiyali18 February 2021This series shows the reality of a student and the problems they face in their life. Any student can relate to it as the story seems so real (except the fact that no Jettu Bhaiya will be there for our rescue).
This show do not contain any kind of lame dialogues,bad scenes...etc. Only true feeling and emotion of a student finding his way to crack IIT.
Great work by the TVF TEAM (as always).
