Aspirants Review: The engaging TVF web series is binge-worthy

Aspirants, the five-episode TVF web series, boasts of some excellent performances, especially by Abhilash Thapliyal, Naveen Kasturia and Sunny Hinduja.

"Yeh UPSC ka exam na physically hi nahi mentally bhi choos leta hai. First attempt nahi nikla, second nahi... final attempt nahi nikla. Palat ke dekhoge, zindagi ka 6 saal gayab... Mehnat koi nahi dekhta. Log aayenge failure ka medal daalenge aur bolenge sincere nahi tha," says SK Sir (Abhilash Thapliyal) in the opening scene of TVF Aspirants. He doesn't paint a rosy picture but makes his students aware of what lies ahead. SK's compelling monologue about what makes a worthy UPSC aspirant highlights the tone of the series.
