The Final Call, Flip and other underrated Indian web-series

OTT platforms have become a modern source of entertainment for a large number of the audience, because of its higher reach and availability. For the past few years, web series like Sacred Games, Mirzapur among others have gained popularity for their star cast. But many web-series went unnoticed on the platforms, though they are delivered an excellent story. Here are a few Indian web-series that are underrated:

The Final Call

The web-series titled The Final Call released in 2019. Reportedly, it is based on the novel I Will Go with You: The Flight of a Lifetime written by Priya Kumar published in 2005. The eight-episode web-series stars Arjun Rampal,  Javed Jaffrey, and Neeraj Kabi in the lead characters.

Apaharan

Though many critics have criticised ALT Balaji for its content, Apaharan is a good treat for all the action-crime lovers.
