Definitely fake. Infact, many of them claim that they have watched the whole show, but when you read their reviews, it feels like they are talking about a totally different show.

Is this series based on whole mughal dynasty? From babur, humayun, akbar, jehangir, sahjahan to arnagjeb ?

Only Babur & a bit of Humayun in Season 1. It will be all about Humayun (and Kamran) in the 2nd Season (considering we get one). Let's see if they will carry on like this for the other rulers as well.

It's actually based on a British historical fiction novella series... The first season is an adaptation of the first volume.. Likewise they will adapt the next volumes if Hotstar greenlits the newer Seasons.. However, the idea basically originated from Star India rather than the Creators so this will continue unless there is a rediculous drop in quantity.
 
HBO's weird social experiment, Fake Famous on Hotstar is an interesting watch... It explores and uses the fake it till you make it ideology of social media influencers with the usage of bots and fake accounts which is very real and social media companies ignore that they exists.... Well if there hadn't been the pandemic, I guess this experiment would have gotten more weirder imo...
 
Watched Money Heist - Part 5: Volume 1 (bruh!) yesterday. Honestly speaking, I wasn't expecting much, as Part 3 & 4 weren't that special or even necessary. But this one was actually good. Very intense from start to the end. One thing I hated is too many flashbacks. They often tend to break the momentum while you are watching. Otherwise it's a good watch.

It's still overhyped as hell though. Not saying it's a bad show. Just that it's not as great as people hype it up to be. And comparing it with shows like Breaking Bad is just stupid. I feel this show is most people's first web-series, and as they haven't watched anything better, all they talk about is this show. I have many friends who have just watched Money Heist, and then went back to the usual Sitcoms, Bollywood movies, shows and other stuff.

Part 3& 4 were mainly made because Netflix has thrown a lot money at them... It Was initially intended as the mini series.. I agree Flashbacks are a bit much this season... Atleast, they haven't made this part as 8 episodes season, that's somewhat better..

Hahaha.. Yeah it's common around.. If you just put a poll asking who has very good content I can guarantee you no one would know the gems from FX and HBO programming that Hotstar carries. I hope Indians perception about changes that HBO and FX are not just about Game OF Thrones and American Horror Story... They make exceptional gems which honestly many people don't know about... I hope that changes soon..

True. All of my friends were clueless when I asked them about shows like Mare of Easttown and Mr. InBetween. All of them were hearing it for the first time.

Exactly... Let's take the new FX show Reservation Dogs, I was curious to see if any body on Twitter even cares about to ask Hotstar Support, to my suprise only a couple of guys besides me had asked for that... Even though its a show from arguably one of the well-known film maker who just own his Oscar, Taika Waititi, it seems to be unknown... Couple of weeks after twitter was spamming them for Only Murders in a Building, just because it stars Selena Gomez. I doubt not even 20% knows who Martin Short and Steve Martin are... Popularity matters more than content quality here....

Ps... Both Reservation Dogs and Only Murders had a very good ratings from critics and will be available On Disney+ Hotstar this month..
