For the past ten days, cricket fever has gripped India as the Cricket World Cup takes center stage. With the World Cup set to run for the next month, cricket enthusiasts worldwide have converged in India to watch their favorite sport. India, currently at the top of the tournament, has won all its initial matches, even defeating its longtime rival, Pakistan, to the delight of cricket fans.
During this cricket frenzy, the Mask TV OTT platform has introduced a web series called "LBW," scheduled to start streaming on October 27th. With the entire world absorbed in the Cricket World Cup, this series aims to blend the magic of cricket with an intriguing narrative.
"LBW" stands for 'Leg Before Wicket,' a term cricket enthusiasts are familiar with. However, the question remains: Is this web series solely cricket-centric, or is there more to it than what the name suggests?
It's a risk in itself to introduce such a series during a time when the world is engrossed in cricket, as it will strive to capture the attention of viewers who are already caught up in the Cricket World Cup.
The show's trailer, as well as its initial episodes, will provide insights into whether Mask TV OTT has succeeded in winning the hearts of its viewers or whether it has been dismissed like a 'stumped' batsman.
According to Mansi Bhatt, the channel producer of Mask TV OTT, the series is a unique blend of cricket, love, and hidden aspects of relationships, creating a cocktail of emotions that particularly appeals to viewers who are passionate about family, cricket, and love. The show promises to explore the uncharted territories of relationships, love, and marriage.
The web series "LBW," presented under the Mask TV Originals, is being produced by Tag Productions, with Anju Bhatt and Chiranjivi Bhatt as its producers. Rishil Joshi serves as the writer and director for the show.
Mansi Bhatt is the channel producer for this LBW series, with Shruti Shah, Ankit Bagadia, Raja Shah, and Rushit Shah as associate producers.
As the series gears up to debut, all eyes are on whether it can carve out a niche for itself amidst the cricket extravaganza or whether it will be an entertaining 'catch' for its viewers.
