The Viral Fever more or less invented the Indian web series, and its shows still set the standard for the format: small casts, ordinary lives, and writing that trusts the audience. Here is every major TVF series in the Cinemasm catalog, ranked by rating.

Things worth knowing
Where it started
TVF began on YouTube in 2010 and released Permanent Roommates in 2014 — widely credited as one of India’s first web series, made long before streaming platforms were commissioning original Indian content.
The show that defined the format
TVF Pitchers (2015) and its “tu beer hai” line turned a startup drama into a cultural reference point, and proved an Indian web series could hold an audience without stars, songs or a television slot.
Why Kota Factory looks like that
Kota Factory was shot in black and white — an unusual choice for a streaming comedy-drama — to match the grind of coaching-class life in Kota, the Rajasthan city where hundreds of thousands of students prepare for engineering entrance exams.
The quiet one that became the biggest
Panchayat, set in a fictional Uttar Pradesh village, became TVF’s broadest success by doing the opposite of everything else on streaming: no crime, no thriller hook, just a city graduate stuck as a village panchayat secretary.
A studio of studios
Not everything TVF-adjacent is TVF. Girliyapa handles its women-led comedy, and Dice Media is a separate studio entirely — which is why shows like Please Find Attached are often miscredited to TVF.
