It is trying its best to get the mix right. Having seen some of its web series work in the past, the platform has decided to play safe rather than err on the side of experimentation.

They are: Delhi Crime, Masaba Masaba, Jamtara, Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives and Mismatched. Except for Delhi Crime, which started streaming from 2019, the remaining four were all available from 2020.
