It is a slice of life, humorous micro series about a newly wed urban
Indian couple. The story here is that it is not produced for the TV
but is created exclusively for the alternate screens like, internet,
mobile, out of home media and In-flight entertainment. The micro
series can be viewed on www.ramandria.tv which will feature new
episodes regularly.
In recent times, there has been a shift in media consumption with
people spending more and more time online. People are now beginning to
consume entertainment less on other mediums and more on the move and
alternate screens. Original entertainment content created for the
alternate screens like the internet or mobile phones which require
short format content is still scarce. Most of the videos posted online
are either low quality rips of television content such as serials,
news clips, music videos or personal home videos. The short format
content or micro series, like RamandRia.tv, also provide brands an
innovative branding opportunity and help them increase their brand
presence on the internet and mobile platforms.
Pixelkraft Media Solutions has made a foray into the short format
content category, with the micro series - RamandRia. The story of
RamandRia is simple. Ram is a techie, nerdy, stuck-to-the-roots,
traditional South Indian in his late 20's. Ria is the suave, stylish,
cosmopolitan Mumbaiker in her early 20's. Fate plays cupid and in
spite of being complete opposites, they fall in love in a hurry and
marry in haste. After marriage, they slowly begin to discover, whether
they are really made for each other, as each day in their lives is
full of shocking surprises, culture shocks and hilarious twists
pushing them to their wits end, literally. It's a north meets south,
battle-of-the-sexes romantic comedy that will surely appeal to the
'young' adult crowd. 'Ram' played by V. Balakrishnan and 'Ria' played
by Aarti Aaney are renowned theatre artistes in India.
Structured in a non-linear narrative format, the user can choose to
view any episode and still not miss the storyline, on the lines of
classic television comedies like 'Friends'. Unlike Youtube videos, ramandria.tv is professionally produced entertainment content. The
dearth of professionally created online content will make ramandria.tv stand apart and draw more audiences.
