Today India is turning towards a new era, that of web series. These web series seem almost tailor-made for the younger generation of Indians, who practically live on the internet. What possibly guarantees brownie points for these series is the fact that its creators have webbed stories centring around the everyday Indian. Gone are the days of protagonists sporting heavy make-up and heavier ancestral jewellery for each scene. The flamboyance has toned down to flannel shirts and flip-flops coupled with casual �Hinglish� and 21st century �modernity�. Through dark humour and intelligent scripting, the writers of the series have decided to tap into the everyday problems of the ordinary middle to upper-middle class Indians. Additionally, the characters are quite grounded and ordinary in contrast to the overtly moralistic �bahu� and the �evil saas� of the K-serials. Viewers can relate to this new generation of protagonists and their stories without a blink of the eye.
