Vikramaditya Motwane returns with a series on prime with a less glamorous and more political show about the film industry in the late 1940s-1950s. “Jubilee” follows five main characters and their intertwining lives as they seek to reach their dreams through films. Witty dialogue, great music, and a retro style bring this show together. It’s a thrilling watch littered with drama, politics, and the occasional song and dance. When appreciating something, it doesn’t always have to be shown in a good light. Motwane and Soumik Sen prove this through the well-crafted story of “Jubilee.” The show has currently released the first five episodes and will release the last five on April 14, 2023. It’s a shame we don’t get to see all episodes at once because the last episode packed a punch, leaving us with great expectations.

"Jubilee" spans an era that heralded new beginnings in Indian cinema, as the country cast off shackles of British rule. Focusing on an eventful period that presaged an independent cinema, the web series has many firsts to its credit: the reconstruction of imposing film studios headed by the original honchos; a closer look at the stars and star-wives; the spectacle surrounding the struggling actors and filmmakers; dreamers and aspirants amid the divide between the two central religions...
