IMDb Introduces ‘Dekh Bhais’, A Creator-Led ‘What to Watch’ Series, With Rohan Joshi and Kullu

IMDb (www.imdb.com), the world’s most popular and authoritative source for information on movies, TV shows and celebrities, has launched Dekh Bhais, a new digital series designed to simplify entertainment discovery through engaging creator-led conversations. Hosted by comedians and content creators Rohan Joshi and Aaditya Kulshreshth (also known as Kullu), Dekh Bhais streams across the IMDb social channels and turns everyday viewing dilemmas into candid discussions. Leveraging IMDb What to Watch features, the show helps audiences effortlessly discover their next favourite movie or show.

Through the Dekh Bhais series, IMDb showcases how its features help audiences seamlessly navigate discovery tools (including Advanced Search, Interest pages, trending widgets, curated lists, and personalised recommendations) to decide what to watch next. Produced by Only Much Louder (OML), in collaboration with IMDb, the show’s voice and format are designed to stay sharp and responsive to pop culture conversations.

Each episode follows the hosts and a guest as they explore IMDb through unfiltered, culturally resonant conversations shaped by banter, opinions, and shared viewing habits. Along the way, they unpack personal favourites, pop culture references, genre preferences, and unexpected picks, transforming film and series discovery into an entertaining, relatable, and accessible journey. Every episode culminates in a personalised IMDb watchlist inspired by the conversation, offering viewers a ready-to-explore lineup of recommendations.

“Choosing what to watch today is more complex than ever. It’s a deeply personal decision shaped by mood, taste, cultural moments, trusted recommendations and, increasingly, by data,” said Yaminie Patodia, Head, IMDb India. “With Dekh Bhais, we explore the powerful intersection of personality-led recommendations and the rich insights available on IMDb. When established industry voices engage with our discovery features, it creates a dynamic and entertaining way to navigate an overwhelming range of choices. Ultimately, IMDb empowers audiences to use its features to take greater control of their entertainment journey and make more satisfying watch decisions.”

Speaking about the show, Joshi said, “We’ve all had that moment when we want to watch something, but end up spending 20 minutes scrolling and second-guessing before finally making a choice. Dekh Bhais is basically that scrolling session brought to life, but louder, more opinionated, and, hopefully, more useful. What makes it exciting for me is that we’re not just tossing out random recommendations based on memory or mood. We’re actually diving into incredibly detailed discovery tools on IMDb to build watchlists that people can genuinely rely on. IMDb has so much rich, organised information, and the show lets us explore that in a way that feels fun and natural.”

Kullu explained, “IMDb has been a big part of my life growing up, right from my childhood. Whether it was for looking for new releases, or discovering fun details about films and TV shows, it was always the matrix that provided trusted reviews, trivia, and detailed information. From that to having my own page and now a show on IMDb, it has always stayed fresh, structured and insightful. Our show mirrors how we actually discover films and shows in real life – through jokes, debates, nostalgia, and strong opinions – but it also shows how IMDb can help you cut through the noise. By the end of each episode, you don’t just leave with vibes or vague ideas. You leave with a thoughtfully curated watchlist that’s easy to access and very useful.”

In its opening slate, Dekh Bhais explores distinct viewing moods and genre-driven impulses, each episode anchored in candid conversation and powered by IMDb discovery tools. With a rotating lineup of guests and more episodes set to roll out in the coming weeks, the first six instalments set the tone for how personality-led recommendations and data-backed insights can come together to simplify the decision-making process of ‘what to watch’.
