Setting a benchmark in clutter breaking online content from India, Y- Films has clocked up a new achievement in its first year of expansion. This young, creative hot shop has won the Best Web Series of 2016 award; beating serious competition at the prestigious 16th Indian Television Academy Awards for the alternate take on Indian weddings, Bang Baaja Baaraat.

Our reaction when we first heard was straight out of a soap of three jump reactions… It’s a small step for Y-Films but a giant leap for original digital content. And the best is yet to come. So watch out!"
