Why: If creating relatable content for the Indian youth was an art form, TVF would be one of the leading artists. They know exactly how to tug at the heartstrings of their viewers through topical content, touching upon nostalgia, adulthood, politics and the education system - all packed with dialogues that feel like everyday exchanges. From the warmth of Gullak on SonyLIV, to the charm of Hostel Daze, the team of TVF took it a notch higher by spreading their content in a variety of regional-language series this year, ranging from Shantit Kranti in Marathi to Tharagathi Gadhi Daati in Telugu.
