The latest web series, Showtime, was released on Disney+ Hotstar. Starring Emraan Hashmi, Rajeev Khandelwal, Mahima Makwana, Vijay Raaz, and others, the web series showcases the dark side of the film industry and how incidents from actors’ personal lives lead to scandals. It also reveals that an ethical person also changes his values after entering the industry.

While Disney+ Hotstar’s Showtime has been entertaining viewers for quite some time, many web series have brought different faces of the film industry to the forefront. From Rana Naidu to The Fame Game, the list is below:

Rana Naidu

Rana Daggubati’s 2023 web series Rana Naidu showcased the dark side of the film industry. While the web series revolved around Rana, a go-to problem solver for the rich and powerful, it reveals how the people of the industry live two different lives.

Much like Spotlight, it also reveals how some stars might face the wrath of people more powerful than them. The web series’ official synopsis reads, “Rana Naidu is the go-to problem solver for the rich and famous. But when his father is released from jail, the one mess he can’t handle may be his own.”

The web series features a huge star cast, including Rana Daggubati, Daggubati Venkatesh, Surveen Chawla, Abhishek Banerjee, Sushant Singh, Gaurav Chopra, and Ashish Vidyarthi.

The Fame Game

Madhuri Dixit entered the world of web series with the 2022 Netflix drama The Fame Game. She plays the role of a Bollywood actress in the show who struggles to stay relevant in the film industry.

While she puts on a pretty face and steps out before her fans, she struggles as a wife and a mother in her personal life. The hidden truths of her past life keep haunting her before she goes missing. Besides Dixit, the web series also has Manav Kaul, Sanjay Kapoor, Lakshvir Saran, Muskkaan Jaferi, and Rajshri Deshpande.

The Fame Game’s synopsis reads, “When India’s most famous actress goes missing, the search for her chips away at the flawless facade of her life and family, revealing painful truths.”

Call My Agent: Bollywood

Every actor witnesses a breakthrough role in their career. They are lauded for these roles that instantly shape their careers. However, which actor is fit for a certain role is mostly decided by casting directors and agents.

The Netflix web series Call My Agent: Bollywood spotlights the lives of four talent agents who work rigorously to save their company. The web series stars Soni Razdan, Rajat Kapoor, Aahana Kumra, and Ayush Mehra in the lead roles.

“From pulling off casting coups to calming celebrity egos, the drama never stops for four Mumbai talent agents hustling to save their sinking company,” reads its synopsis.

Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives

The Netflix reality show Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives follows the professional and personal lives of four women in the industry: Maheep Kapoor, Neelam Kothari, Bhavna Pandey, and Seema Khan. From the struggles in their married lives to their glamorous front, the web series covers everything about them. “Cameras follow the banter and bonding between four fun-loving women from Bollywood’s inner circle as they juggle professions, family, and friendship,” reads its synopsis.

Cinema Marte Dum Tak

The Amazon Prime Video documentary Cinema Marte Dum Tak gives insights into the making of movies. The directors of the golden age, including J Neelam, Dilip Gulati, Vinod Talwar, and Kishan Shah, give a behind-the-scenes look at their Bollywood movies.

Spotlight from Ray

The Netflix anthology Ray is based on the stories of celebrated writer and filmmaker Satyajit Ray. One of the anthology series episodes follows the life of an actor who misses the spark in his work. However, when he meets a young woman who has become a star among the audience, he realizes how to light his aura.

Its synopsis reads, “A popular but creatively unsatisfied actor grapples with his growing insecurities as another icon’s dazzling aura threatens to dim his star.”

In conclusion, a number of web series have been released that reveal the darker side of the film industry. However, Disney+ Hotstar’s Showtime, Rana Naidu, and other such shows highlight different issues.
