Kota Factory is IMDb’s top Indian web series of 2019, beats Sacred Games and The Family Man

Kota Factory has emerged as the highest rated web series on IMDb from India. The TVF series has beaten big guns such as Sacred Games and others.

Kota Factory, a satire about IIT aspirants in Kota, has been named as the top Indian web series of 2019 in a list released by IMDb. IMDb on Thursday unveiled its first-ever top 10 Indian television and web series year-end list as determined by IMDb customer ratings.

Kota Factory tells the stories of students and teachers in Kota, Rajasthan.

Netflix’s Sacred Games, starring Saif Ali Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, is second in the list, followed by Amazon’s The Family Man, Delhi Crime, Humorously Yours, TVF Tripling, Made in Heaven, Flames, Inside Edge and Bard of Blood.

IMDb ratings are determined by customers who rank films and TV shows on a 10 point scale. To rate a title, customers can click the ‘Rate This’ star on any film or TV show title page on IMDb.

“Entertainment fans in India are embracing streaming content more than ever, and for the first time, IMDb is thrilled to announce a year-end list celebrating the top customer-rated Indian television and web series,” said Col Needham, IMDb founder and Chief Executive Officer.

“IMDb users have identified TVF’s coming-of-age series ‘Kota Factory’ as their favourite show of the 2019. Sacred Games (#2) and Inside Edge (9) have also resonated with fans -- both series are in their second season and have each been nominated for International Emmy Awards. We are also thrilled to see Amazon Prime Video’s Made in Heaven (#7) and the spy drama Bard of Blood (#10) on our year-end list -- both of which star actor Sobhita Dhulipala, who made her debut at #10 on this year’s IMDb Top Stars of Indian Cinema and Television list as a result of these breakout performances,” Needham added.
