Review: Lakhon Mein Ek on Amazon Prime

It’s every child’s (read: parent’s) reverie, often notional, to study in the premier institute, to wear it like a badge of honour in hope of earning a ‘sorted’ life. An idea which is parochial yet popular. This is precisely the premise of Amazon Prime original series, Lakhon Mein Ek, which depicts the life of an average student Akash and his chase for the delusional IIT dream. The cramped classrooms, dorm life, scenes of ragging & casual banter, send you on a nostalgic trip. Akash | Click Here...
