Speculations were there, the doubts were there, and it does feel good to be proven wrong with these innovations. Ekam introduced their own website for streaming their series and they charged around ₹149 for people to watch it. Now, it is evident that people are watching it.
But why so?
The viewers aren’t big fans of the OTT giants anyway, and if they get a chance to support an Indian initiative, they definitely will do that. Secondly, the cast of the show is absolutely astounding. Prakash Raj, Raj B. Shetty, Prakash Thumminad, Manasa Sudhir, and even Shine Shetty excel in their parts.
Plus, the series resonates with the Indian audience, reminiscent of Malgudi Days, which fans absolutely love. The seven-episode series is a homage to the cultural diversity of the Karavali or coastal Karnataka region.
Also, being an anthology, everything about it has been up to the mark. The cinematography is no less than a painting, and the screenplay is quite outstanding. The viewers are captivated by it, at least according to social media reactions.
Every episode has its own spice; that’s the best part about the show. The different perspectives bring different storylines, and the seven pieces of the puzzle add up to the lives of the characters. Fans are loving it.
India is entering an era of modernity, and fans love to see the cultural diversity rooted in India. If a show manages to capture that essence, it can be tagged as a hit. Ekam follows that formula and probably excels in it.
