Mumbai: Tipping Point has been successfully winning the hearts of audiences by delivering distinctive and innovative shows like Jamtara and She, both of which have had successful second seasons, as well as critically acclaimed series like Taj Mahal 1989 and the anthology of Satyajit Ray’s short stories, Ray. Tipping Point channels the diverse, disruptive, and dynamic stories of the digital age with a focus on nuanced and edgy storytelling.
Tipping Point has expanded its slate with a variety of exciting new series like Parallax, a crime thriller; Kaalkut, an investigative drama; Transition, a groundbreaking reality show; Mahim, a murder mystery; and Boots, Belts & Berets, a show about the life of army cadets. All of these series have finished production and will soon be available on major OTT platforms.
In keeping with those initiatives, leading digital entertainment business Pocket Aces’ premium long-form production studio, Dice Media, and the digital content creators are now prepared to amuse the audience with a brand-new slate of content. The announcement of Cheeku, a coming-of-age story, as the first of many more powerful series in the pipeline, marks the beginning of the long-term creative partnership between the two content moguls. The slice-of-life comedy centres on a 24-year-old boy who struggles to reconcile his life’s cultural disparity. The series, directed by Rajesh Mapuskar and run by Ashwin Suresh, will feature seasoned performer Prakash Raj in a crucial part.
