Kota Factory 3 Review

This season, Jitendra Kumar's portrayal of Jeetu Bhaiya stands out as he embodies a perplexed teacher who, despite being a problem-solver and role model for his students, seeks therapy himself. His therapist advises him to maintain a professional distance from his students at AIMERs, treating them as peers rather than children—a difficult task for Jeetu Bhaiya.

With the immense popularity of the first two seasons, fans have eagerly awaited the third installment. Now that Kota Factory Season 3 has premiered on Netflix, it has taken social media by storm. The series continues to emphasize the journey of preparation over the final outcome, encapsulated in Jeetu Bhaiya's mantra: "Jeet ki tayari nahi, tayari hi jeet hai." This season reinforces the importance of aiming and diligent preparation, a sentiment deeply ingrained in students preparing for competitive exams.

Jitendra Kumar's Return as Jeetu Bhaiya

Jitendra Kumar’s character also grapples with the dual roles of being both a mentor ('bhaiya') and an authoritative figure ('sir'). The previous season he was concluded with a tragic event, a student's suicide, which deeply affected Jeetu Bhaiya. As he seeks therapy, the narrative highlights the significance and simplicity of seeking help when needed.

Amidst the rising rates of suicide in Kota, this show serves as an eye-opener for parents, teachers, and all stakeholders involved in a student's life. Overall, Kota Factory Season 3 is a compelling watch for today's youth, who are often burdened by the pressure of success in competitive exams. The series underscores that these exams are merely a part of life, not the entirety of it.

Created by Saurabh Khanna, with Raghav Subbu as the showrunner and Pratish Mehta as the director, Kota Factory Season 3 is produced by The Viral Fever. The writing team, led by Punnet Batra, includes Pravin Yadav, Nikita Lalwani, and Manish Chandwani. While the show has undoubtedly evolved, there is a palpable hope that its core audience has evolved alongside it.
