Listen to Story The Netflix show 'Kota Factory 3' is a one-of-a-kind series. It puts lights on those preparing for the competitive exams, especially the IIT aspirants, living and learning in the Indian city of Kota, which is known as a hub of private and government institutes specialised in teaching students to qualify for these exams. While the TVF show has largely received appreciation for its content and performances, a section of the audience also believes that it glorifies the 'IIT dream'.
In an interview with IndiaToday.in, the creators of the show spoke at length about the criticism and what 'Kota Factory' really stands for . Raghav Subbu, who is the showrunner, acknowledged those criticising the show but maintained that it "doesn't glorify" the system.
He highlighted how they are not making any statements in the show but simply putting an idea in front of their audience. He said, "We are all dangling with a treat in front of us, in our lives, and we are all chasing it. Be it money, power, fame, recognition, love, or any position you want - we have that dangling in front of our eyes, and we are constantly running to get it.
I don't think it's a glorification of a system. A lot of people come from this place of the anti-establishment to say 'oh, this system is wrong'. But, this system exists for a reason.
Every system has its own problems." A post shared by Netflix India (@netflix_in) Subbu added that a system like IIT is so structured that people will find problems wit.
