'Kota Factory' S03 trailer answers 'Jeetu Bhaiya, not sir' puzzle
India's most loved students return to illustrate the difference between "dreams" and "aims" with Kota Factory Season 3. On Tuesday, the trailer for the third chapter was released, featuring Jitendra Kumar, aka Jeetu Bhaiya, whose return has been eagerly anticipated by fans. The clip, lasting two minutes and 52 seconds, offers a sneak peek into the upcoming season while maintaining the show's signature monochromatic theme.
Why does this story matter?
Kota Factory garnered a generally positive response from critics upon its premiere. Critics and audiences praised its black-and-white setting, realism, and the major technical aspects of the series. Set in Kota, Rajasthan—an educational hub known for its coaching centers—the show revolves around the life of 16-year-old Vaibhav (Mayur More), who relocates to Kota from Itarsi. It delves into the lives of students in the city and Vaibhav's journey to crack the JEE and secure a spot in the IIT.
Kumar's character advocates for celebrating preparations in the trailer
In the newly released trailer, Kumar's character Jeetu Bhaiya emphasizes the importance of "successful preparations" over "successful selections." His profound dialogue, "Jeet ki tyaari nahin, tyaari hi jeet hai (not preparation for the victory, but preparation itself is the victory)," leaves viewers and podcast host (in the clip) equally impressed. The upcoming season will see Jeetu guiding JEE aspirants through thick and thin to crack India's most challenging exam.
