Air

This series is a must watch for everyone out there in Telugu states. We can observe the creativity of director in opening shot it self with sunil how he integrated all the departments of the movie in a dialogue in PRO's as series progress we can connect with the each character of the trio and atmosphere of the hostel and college. You can relate with jeevan, viva harsha and sandeej raj character.

Director succeeded in showing the reality of preparation in JEE. There is a scene of protagonist roshan how children become mature in the process of preparation.

And finally I urge everyone to watch 🙏.

Well I don't know if you've seen the TV show 'Laakhon Mein Ek', but this AIR is similar to that. In this the guy here who is acted as Arjun is similar to Akash in that hindi series. The plot is 70-80% same. If we talk about the hindi one, one doesn't like to study for IIT but fathers forces and he is a complete misfit. Then slowly, a friendship forms between him and his roommates Bakri and Chudail. From there the real story starts.

Now talking about this series, as I said similar to that but the execution is good and the theme has changed here. This series comes with a humour one but the hindi one come with a serious slice of life. Anyways I would really recommend you to watch this Telugu version too if you are hoping a comedy and teenage life genre.

This will take all the 90s kids from Andhra and Telangana. Especially the kids who went from the rigorous schooling followed by inter in Narayana and chaitanya to feel nostalgic about their experiences. Will highly recommend it.

This series isn't just storytelling - it's a portal back to those formative years when life was defined by strict uniforms, endless test series, and 5:30 AM classes in Narayana and Sri Chaitanya. The series captures the emotional highs and silent struggles of a generation that was molded under pressure but still found ways to dream, rebel, and survive.

Whether it's the early-morning rush with a tiffin box, the anxiety of EAMCET ranks, or the joy of bunking a physics seminar to grab a samosa - AIR mirrors it all with striking realism and a touch of warmth. Every character feels like someone you once knew - a benchmate, a lab partner, or even yourself.

Background score and dialogue carry a raw authenticity, and the cinematography blends the grit of hostel corridors with the innocence of teenage ambition. It's especially moving for those who transitioned from these schools to dream bigger - in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, or overseas.

Highly recommended - not just for entertainment, but for the memory lane it opens. You might laugh, tear up, or just sit in silence after an episode. But one thing's for sure - you'll feel seen.

I have seen this in insta reels and started to watch. I have completed the whole series in one sitting. I haven't get bored every episode will entertain. Go do watch this series and season 2 is yet to come. Waiting for that. The movie delivers a compelling blend of storytelling, strong performances, and visual appeal. The direction keeps the narrative engaging without feeling rushed, while the cast brings emotional depth and authenticity to their roles. What stands out most is the film's ability to balance entertainment with meaningful themes, offering moments that are both thought-provoking and relatable. The cinematography and soundtrack further elevate the viewing experience, making it a memorable watch. Overall, it's a well-crafted film that leaves a lasting impression.

AIR (All India Rankers) is more than just a web series-it's a deeply moving ode to the countless dreamers who walk into coaching academies with stars in their eyes and pressure in their hearts. Directed with soul and sensitivity by **Joseph Clinton**, *AIR* brings to life the triumphs, heartbreaks, and silent battles of every student who has ever chased a competitive rank.

From the very first episode, the series strikes a chord. The atmosphere-the narrow hostel corridors, the buzzing mess halls, the quiet breakdowns behind closed doors-is crafted with such authenticity that you're instantly transported back to your own student days. It's nostalgic without being overindulgent, and every frame feels lived-in.

Joseph Clinton's direction is subtle yet powerful. He masterfully balances humor with pathos, competition with companionship, and the academic with the emotional. Each character is carefully etched, and while the narrative focuses on a few, you feel the collective pulse of every student struggling to make their mark.

The performances are a standout-natural, restrained, and deeply affecting. The emotional scenes hit hard, especially those involving internal dilemmas, quiet moments of despair, and the fragile bonds of unexpected friendships. There's no over-dramatization, just raw, real storytelling that respects the intelligence of its audience.

Yes, some might point out pacing concerns or wish for deeper dives into backstories, but that's only because the world of *AIR* is so immersive that you don't want it to end. The series doesn't try to over-explain-it trusts its viewers to fill in the gaps with their own memories and experiences.

*AIR* is a must-watch for anyone who has ever stayed up for an exam, missed home from a dorm room, found unexpected friendships in the unlikeliest places, or simply tried to find their identity in the crowd. It reminds us that not every rank defines a life-but every experience during that phase shapes who we become.

Kudos to Joseph Clinton for creating a show that feels like a mirror, a memory, and a message-all rolled into one. *AIR* is not just a series, it's a feeling. And it will stay with you long after the final credits roll.
