Titan is a watch brand to reckon with. Here is an OTT show based on the origin and rise of the legendary brand. Made In India - A Titan Story, starring Naseeruddin Shah and Jim Sarbh, is currently streaming on Amazon MX Player.
Based on Vinay Kamath's bestselling book Titan: Inside India's Most Successful Consumer Brand, this one tells the story of Xerxes Desai, the iconic entrepreneur who built Titan Watches. "The sharp performances and the dramatic retelling of a major corporate journey" have been praised by many reviews. The narrative focuses on "corporate grit, innovation, and the friction between traditional business mindsets and modern vision".
Reviewers noted that Naseeruddin Shah brings an authoritative gravity to his role of JRD Tata. Jim Sarbh, who plays Desai, injects his trademark electric, high-energy sophistication as the modern disruptor. "The verbal sparring between them forms the emotional backbone of the project," a review observed.
Critics appreciate the detailed production design and writing that captures the evolving landscape of Indian industry. "Instead of a dry corporate history, the narrative is treated like a tense drama, showing the massive risks, internal boardroom politics, and personal sacrifices behind building a household name," a national daily opined.
The consensus among film critics is that Made In India - A Titan Story is a "compelling, performance-driven corporate drama". The web series lasts six episodes.
