IMDb has unveiled Dekh Bhais, a fresh digital series aimed at making entertainment discovery simpler, more engaging, and relatable for modern audiences. Hosted by popular comedians and creators Rohan Joshi and Aaditya Kulshreshth, the show transforms everyday viewing dilemmas into lively, candid conversations. Streaming across IMDb’s social platforms, the series leverages the platform’s ‘What to Watch’ features to guide users towards their next favourite film or show.
A Fresh Take on Content Discovery
In an era where audiences are overwhelmed with choices, Dekh Bhais aims to cut through the clutter. The show highlights how IMDb’s tools such as Advanced Search, Interest pages, trending widgets, curated lists, and personalised recommendations can help viewers make smarter choices. Produced by Only Much Louder in collaboration with IMDb, the series is designed to stay in tune with evolving pop culture trends while maintaining a sharp and entertaining tone.
Each episode follows the hosts along with a guest, as they explore films and series through humour, debate, and personal preferences. From nostalgic favourites to unexpected picks, the discussions feel organic and culturally relevant. By the end of every episode, viewers are presented with a curated IMDb watchlist inspired by the conversation, making the discovery process both fun and practical.
IMDb on the Idea Behind the Show
Speaking about the initiative, Yaminie Patodia, Head of IMDb India, highlighted the growing complexity of choosing what to watch. She noted that viewing decisions today are influenced by mood, taste, cultural trends, and data. According to her, Dekh Bhais blends personality-driven recommendations with IMDb’s data-backed insights, creating an engaging way to navigate a vast content landscape. The show ultimately empowers audiences to take control of their viewing journey.

Rohan Joshi described the concept as a relatable reflection of the common struggle of endlessly scrolling before picking something to watch. He emphasised that the show goes beyond casual suggestions by using IMDb’s detailed tools to create reliable watchlists.
