"Rikshawala" (2023) is not high art, nor does it pretend to be. It is a product of supply and demand in the digital age. It serves as a window into the types of stories that find traction in the less glamorous corners of the Indian internet—stories where poverty and privilege collide, and where desire is the great equalizer. While it may be dismissed by some as mere adult content, it effectively utilizes the suspense thriller format to keep the audience engaged. Ultimately, the series reflects the changing consumption habits of Indian viewers, proving that in the privacy of one’s smartphone screen, stories of the "Rikshawala" command as much attention as those of kings and CEOs.
