Yesterday, we had compiled for you a list of the most anticipated Indian movies releasing in the month of August. In this article, we have performed a comparative analysis for some of the most anticipated Indian web series that are expected to release on various OTT platforms in the month of August.
To precisely quantify the anticipation around a web series before its release, one way is to observe the total number of views for the series’ official trailer released on YouTube. Another parameter can also be the number of likes (or dislikes) that the series’ trailer had garnered.
However, both these quantifications cannot probably be fool-proof and totally reliable parameters to gauge a web series’ actual anticipation level amongst prospective viewers. But since we can consider just one, we have taken into account the total number of trailer views (at the time of writing the article) for web series, to compile a list of the top five most anticipated Indian web series that are expected to start streaming in the month of August. We have considered only fiction and live-action web series for this article for the sake of consistency.
