1.Bose Dead/Alive
This series on ‘Netaji’ by ALT Balaji is one of the most talked about shows. Rajkumar Rao, one of the most under-rated actors of Bollywood, who is playing the lead is one of the prime
reasons for that. This series presents the whole adventurous journey of Subhash Chandra Bose to the audience. Right from the underdog teenager to becoming a national leader of an international fame is covered in this work. Pre-independence conspiracies are something to look out for and that must be surprising for many Indians as they know a little or none about this great hero.

Now, this is something that has never happened on ‘Desi’ screens. Sumeet Vyas along with a celebrity guest tries difficult excursions through three merciless terrains.
