In the third season of TVF’s Kota Factory, Jitendra Kumar returns as Jeetu Bhaiya, facing a more personal challenge this time. The first two seasons were hugely popular and gave more strength to the brand of TVF in the OTT space.
This five-episode series, set in the educational hub of Kota, Rajasthan, continues in black and white, providing a visually consistent experience with the previous season.

Jitendra Kumar, as expected, delivers a standout performance as Jeetu Bhaiya, a teacher struggling to balance his own mental health while being a guiding light for his students.
“Kota Factory” can be seen in two distinct ways.

The popular view sees it as a heartfelt, slice-of-life portrayal of middle-class life centered around IIT aspirants in Kota. It captures the essence of their struggles authentically.
The black-and-white palette, aerial shots, and polished filmmaking, along with feel-good characters, make it appealing. Viewers are especially drawn to Jeetu Bhaiya, the ideal mentor, and the relatable struggles of students like Vaibhav, Uday, and Balmukund.

The less popular perspective critiques “Kota Factory” for romanticizing the student struggle and overlooking harsh realities like social tensions, peer pressure, and psychological stress.
Jeetu Bhaiya is seen as an unrealistic figure, potentially misleading students who seek such mentors in Kota. The series is viewed as normalizing a toxic system that thrives on survival of the fittest, ignoring skewed gender dynamics and the real pressures faced by students.
The focus on Jeetu Bhaiya appears to cater more to fan service than to meaningful storytelling. The portrayal of his institute as a haven in Kota feels like an attempt to repair the city’s image rather than an honest depiction.
Dialogue in the series often feels like a string of lectures, with characters delivering advice rather than engaging in natural conversation. Humor is also missing, concentrating only on emotions.
Despite these critiques, Kota Factory 3 manages to please its core audience and serve as a decent watch for today’s youth.
