    01 · THE BACKGROUND

    Inspired by the REET exam leak scandals (2021–2023) that affected hundreds of thousands of aspirants in Rajasthan.

    "The challenge was building a narrative that was legally defensible yet honest to the human cost."

    02 · THE MISSION

    To ground the series, I personally travelled to a Rajasthan jail to meet with accused and convicted individuals, ensuring every character was informed by real testimony.

    • 140-page original screenplay
    • Authentic Rajasthani jail research
    • Fictionalized for legal protection
    • Strategic regional distribution
    03 · INDIE DEVELOPMENT

    Coffee Shop
    Scripts

    "No formal office. Just three months of intensive writing across Mumbai coffee shops with a tight creative unit."

    Compressed Workflow

    Strategically hired a Creative Director who doubled as casting lead, merging two massive workstreams into one.

    TALENT

    Strategic Casting

    Leveraged industry relationships to secure lead talent like Sanchita Banerjee and Avi Rakheja within strict budget parameters.

    LANGUAGE

    Regional Authenticity

    Built specifically for a Rajasthani audience with regional dialect, institutional setting, and rural landscape coverage.

    STRATEGY

    Platform Pivot

    Originally developed for Prime Video, we pivoted to Stage Rajasthani for a more commercially certain regional rollout.
