Mismatched, Flames, Feels Like Home: OTT goes big on teen trysts
Hindustan TimesCrushes, camaraderie, conflicts and a dash of drama — a concoction of these forms the life of a teen or young adult. Mismatched is an example of the growing popularity of teen dramas in the OTT space “We started telling stories about teenagers and young adults in the 1990s. Many shows and films, especially on the digital medium, are filling that gap,” says Amol Parashar, who was seen in one segment of Feels Like Ishq alongside actor Radhika Madan. Such shows gave them a feel of the same.” According to Mismatched creator Akarsh Khurana, such shows cut through a lot of noise: “There was a time when a lot of people were making darker, more violent shows, leaving people with one common complaint that family viewing was limited. Now, these shows come as a breath of fresh air with innocent romance, which is the reason behind its growing popularity.” Picking his show as an example, Khurana explains, “The number of people who have seen the second season trailer on YouTube as compared to the first season’s trailer is more than five times, which is a reflection of the growing popularity.
