When you have 21 days worth of free time to be spent at home, ahead of you, there's no right way to entertain yourself.

But the Internet is bigger than vast, and you'll likely end up down a rabbit-hole of Hitler conspiracy theories if you don't know what you're looking for. Which is what we are here to help you with. While there's no dearth of variety in the entertainment content up for grabs online, our attention of late has been on a few brilliant web series. The ones we are about to suggest are Indian in origin and packed with understated scenes along with a fresh, youthful storyline, that our generation can actually relate to. And the fact that you can watch them for free, is an additional reinforcement. So without any further ado, here's a list of our favourite Indian web series you can stream for free right now.

2. Bang Baaja Baaraat

For anybody that has gone through the entire series, it soon becomes apparent that Bang Baaja Baarat is a far departure from your average Hindi rom-com bursting at the seams with cliches. This show was lauded far and wide for its brilliant cast with the right acting chops, well-written script with cutesy humour, and scenes with a fresh, youthful appeal. All of this at YRF's scale of production gives this show the look and feel of a commercial movie.

Relatable, grounded and absolutely hilarious, TVF Pitchers was one of the finer shows to grace Indian digital entertainment. If you're a proud 90s kid who grew up in India, every scene from TVF Pitchers will make you go " TOO REAL". The show has been both conceptualized and executed with sheer perfection, and the 9.7 IMDb rating can vouch for that.

Under-rated, unpretentious and absolutely crazy through and through, Baked was a genre-bending, norm-defying show created by Scoopwhoop. While the fringe show may appear to the entertainment sensibilities of a limited, niche crowd, those who did take a liking to the show continue to sing its praises even to this day. The characters are thoroughly entertaining, and the script is full of subtleties that go a long way in adding to the charm of the show.
