Imagine a world where workplace dynamics are as spicy as the pickles on your plate, and family drama is served with a side of laughter. Enter The Pickle Factory – a zesty 10-episode rollercoaster streaming on Prasar Bharati’s newly launched WAVES OTT platform. Produced by the one and only Aarrav Jindal (who clearly knows how to craft a show that’s as addictive as a jar of your favorite chutney), this quirky dramedy blends the flavors of work-life chaos with heartfelt family bonds, creating a show that’s as comforting as it is funny.
The story follows Mahika (played by the ever-adorable Tanya Maniktala), who, after getting fired and becoming an internet sensation for all the wrong reasons, finds herself at her grandmother's house in Dehradun. Forced into an internship at the family’s pickle factory, Mahika’s journey is filled with hilarious misadventures, all while navigating quirky relatives like her prank-pulling uncles, Jojo (Gagandev Riar) and Chandu (Naveen Kaushik), who bring their own brand of chaotic fun to the table. Add in Ritwik Bhowmik as Deb, the childhood crush who’s still hung up on Mahika, and you've got a workplace comedy that’s anything but bland.
The Pickle Factory is the kind of series where every character feels like they’ve stepped out of your own family reunion. The chemistry between the cast is deliciously addictive, and the episodes are packed with laugh-out-loud moments, heartfelt conversations, and just the right amount of drama. Jindal’s production perfectly captures the quirky charm of small-town life, making even the most mundane pickle-making process feel like a grand adventure.
So, if you’re craving something fresh, funny, and oh-so-familiar, grab your jar of pickles and dive into The Pickle Factory. With a sprinkle of nostalgia, a pinch of awkwardness, and a whole lot of heart, this show is your perfect New Year binge – and trust me, you’ll be coming back for seconds!
Streaming now on WAVES – where treasure trove of nostalgic content, bringing timeless classics like Ramayana, Mahabharat, Alif Laila, and Fauji back to the screen. Perfect for viewers looking to relive iconic moments and stories that shaped Indian television.
And The Pickle Factory’s yet another masterpiece which is fresh, and heart-warming!
