As Rizzle Series keeps growing, Rizzle has seen an inflow of short series in several different languages. Out of these, the Telugu series have been garnering a great number of views. Whether they’re by individual creators, or by famed media houses like Tamada, Telugu short series on Rizzle have been doing amazingly well. Here’s a few I’ve cherry picked for you to check out before you dive right in.

Oka Manchi Maata

The hit duo from Instant Friend is back. Actors Sarika and Santosh Chintala play the roles of Divya and Suresh in Oka Manchi Maata. Two best friends who’ve practically grown up together now face a major challenge on account of “a girl and a boy can never be just friends”. Divya and Suresh don’t see gender when it comes to their friendship, they laugh together, play together, and genuinely care for each other. However, people around them assume they’re more than friends. This gets on Suresh’s new girlfriend Priya’s nerves. When he’s told to choose between love and friendship, Divya decides to help him in this conundrum.

Possessive Girl

He’s a happy-go-lucky guy, and she’s a sweet girl who’s crazy about him. It’s a perfect relationship. Well, almost. The girl’s got a vice- she’s extremely possessive of him. She hates it when he compliments, talks to, or even talks about another girl. This is a craziness he has to deal with everyday, and he does so willingly because he still loves her. Follow this crazy couple and their daily shenanigans on Possessive Girl!

Ms Anxiety
Ms Anxiety is a hilarious show about the everyday struggles of Preethi as someone who overthinks. A lot! She has a special ability to think of a million ways something can go wrong in just a few seconds, and worry about it for the rest of the time. Throw even the simplest situations to her, and she will overthink it to the best of her ability. And if by some miracle if she’s relaxed, and someone points it out, she worries about why she isn’t her usual worrying self! There’s layers to her anxiety, and they come through in a variety of scenarios. This show is a light-hearted take on overthinking, and is a must watch for lovers of wholesome comedy!

One Day CEO
After a successful project, Sathvik, an employee, locks horns with the CEO of his company. They have a heated discussion about whose role is harder, the CEO’s or the employees that work under him. In order to solve this, Sathvik proposes switching roles for one day. What ensues is a war of egos, strategically planned schemes, and tons of revenge for all the mental stress inflicted on the employees by the CEO.
