After some time off, trying to catch up! Binge-watched Made in India: A Titan Story. Never imagined a series about a watch could make me cry, but there I was, moist-eyed. Director Robbie Grewal, Naseer Sir, Jim Sarbh & the team imbue the story with warmth, grace & heart. #dowatch

#MadeInIndia: A Titan Story — What a freaking brilliant show... Easily ranks as among the BEST SHOWS coming out of India!

A dreamy, inspiring start-up story of #Titan, told so beautifully by Robbie Grewal.. Powered by the evergreen old songs infused so timely with context, and the impeccable performances by the best of all, #NaseeruddinShah Saab, @jimSarbh, @vaibbhavt and everyone!

And a special applause to the writer and creator — @karanmukeshvyas, one of the best writers we have... From #Scam1992 to this one, he knows exactly how to create shows that become a BENCHMARK... #MadeInIndia truly sets a standard to how to tell an underdog story!

This show inspires you to dream big, give it your all and never stop irrespective of the challenges coming your way. Teaches you to accept and CELEBRATE FAILURE because "Bade sapne ka rasta bade asaphalta se hokar hi jata hain."

HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Streaming on @MXPlayer/ @PrimeVideoIN!

Had a spoiler-filled chat with @jimSarbh & director #RobbieGrewal about the gentle achievement of #MadeInIndiaATitanStory, those heart-winning moments, the delightful JRD Tata scenes, that insanely huggable ensemble and making us all a little happier.

If there’s a person from history that actor Naseeruddin Shah resembles — you could, technically, go with Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad. It’s the role Richard Attenborough offered him in Gandhi.

Naseer was clear he’d play the Mahatma, or no part in the film. He has subsequently played Gandhi on screen (Hey Ram), and stage (Mahatma Vs Gandhi).

Hey, but how about JRD Tata?

It’s only when you watch the GOAT, Naseer, 75, with a slight droop, in light coloured suits, no prosthetic makeup, just his grey hair naturally gelled back, in the series, Made in India: A Titan Story (Amazon MX Player), you go — Oh my god, of course, Naseer = JRD!

The show’s lead writer, Karan Vyas, tells me, “He was our first and last option.” Centrally, A Titan Story isn’t so much the biopic of JRD as of his eccentric mentee, Xerxes Desai, who founded a watch-making start-up, within the Tata group.

Jim Sarbh plays Xerxes. He had, likewise, splendidly portrayed another fellow Parsee, Homi Bhabha, in Rocket Boys, an equally unlikely show on the building of public institutions of science, within the Indian government.

Titan is, essentially, a private concern, albeit started in collaboration with the Tamil Nadu state. Why are we so neatly drawn to its story?

Because popular shows on business/corporations generally tend to focus on the greed/rot/politics within the system that’s made for profit, and somewhat designed to profiteer.

Take the finest Indian series, Scam 1992, or the world’s greatest, Succession.

A Titan Story shines a light, instead, on the middleclass, Boomer Generation, of faceless engineers, MBAs, graduates; employees, in general — most of whom devotedly worked their life off in the same firm, with passion, loyalty, adding value to society, and raising their families, alongside.

That’s most desi dads, born between 1946-64, you’ve known.

What else?

Arguably the best part about the job is watching something you feel for deeply, and then getting to break it down with the artists behind it. Had a wonderful chat with @jimSarbh and Robbie Grewal about the gentle achievement of A Titan Story. Out soon on my YouTube channel

[saif. @chupchaapbol]

@NewsArenaIndia Notable to say that the Department of Posts, India also unveiled a special envelope and post card for the show.

Okay. We hear you, but how do we actually reach our offices.
The roads/pavements are dug-up. The metro connectivity is not ideal for office at far ends of BKC.
Not even getting started on the weather + BKC drowns during the rains.

What a character. Commentary on the track too 😂

@mehul_kapadia_ Watch on Amazon MX Player, you don't need a subscription. The series is actually an Amazon MX Player show.

@ananya116 Happy to share the review screeners!! (:

It is totally worth the watch.

[SUHEL SETH @Suhelseth]

This is what happens when both content and craft are superlative! Take a bow team @MXPlayer for the Made-In-India series on yet another exemplary @TataCompanies company: @titanwatches : the @TataCompanies has always blazed a trail…

“The feel-good watch of the year”

Really liked "Made In India: A Titan Story". Great cast, solid old-school storytelling, resists a corporate tone. One of the better Indian shows this year.

Fell entirely in love with Made In India: A Titan Story. Not since Rocket Boys have I felt so charmed, so taken by a series based on true events. A show about a watchmaking company has no business being this heartfelt. Reviewed it here.
