Mumbai, January 3 (IANS). Imagine a world where workplace dynamics are as spicy as the pickles on your plate and the laughs are mixed in with the family drama. Enter The Pickle Factory, a fun rollercoaster of 10-episodes streaming on Prasar Bharti’s newly launched Waves OTT platform.
Created by Aarav Jindal, this quirky dramedy blends the flavors of work-life chaos with heart-warming family bonds, creating a show that is as funny as it is comforting.
The story is based on Mahika (played by Tanya Maniktala), who finds herself at her grandmother’s house in Dehradun after being fired from her job and becoming an internet sensation for the wrong reasons.
Forced to take up an internship at the family’s pickle factory, Mahika’s journey is full of hilarious mishaps, while she also has to contend with quirky relatives like her mischievous uncles Jojo (Gagandev Riyar) and Chandu (Naveen Kaushik), who is one of his kind. Chaos brings fun.
Add Ritwik Bhowmik as Deb, who has a childhood crush and is still in love with Mahika, and you get a workplace comedy that isn’t dull at all.
The Pickle Factory is a series where every character feels like they stepped out of your own family reunion.
The chemistry between the cast is hilarious, and the episode has laugh-out-loud moments, heart-touching interactions, and just the right amount of drama.
Jindal’s production perfectly captures the quirky charm of small-town life, making even the most simple pickle-making process feel like a grand adventure.
So, if you’re looking for something new, fun, and familiar, grab a pickle jar and dive into The Pickle Factory. With a show full of nostalgia, quirks and heart-touching, this is the best New Year’s show for you – and believe me, you will definitely watch it again!
