Baked

The misadventures of three university flatmates who decide to start a midnight food delivery service. Watch as our oddball trio juggle student life with business, and invariably manage to land themselves into trouble.

Baked (2015-2022) is an Indian web comedy series created for VOOT and later JioHotstar, following three oddball university flatmates who launch a midnight food delivery business. Anirban Guha Thakurta (Shantanu Anam) leads the trio alongside Body (Manik Papneja) and Mohammad Haris (Pranay Manchanda), with Tara Brara (Kriti Vij) pulled into their schemes as the kitchen and business plans spiral. Each short episode is built from the friends juggling exams, rent, and crowded student life against the demands of a hungry late night clientele, and each attempt to grow the venture lands them in fresh scrapes with neighbors, rivals, and the local police, including Inspector Gulaab Singh (Maheep Singh). Across three seasons and nineteen episodes, the show stays light, breezy, and irreverent, with a goofy, affectionate warmth toward its characters. Its story is a sequence of misadventures rather than one heavy arc, so the appeal lies in the banter and the friendship. Fans of Community and Little Things will find similar roommate chaos, scrappy young adult humor, and a comfortable, rewatchable tone that suits a short evening sitting.
