Aspirants across the country now have a new story to root for, and it doesn’t come from a big studio or flashy OTT platform. Yeh Saali Naukri, Dice Media’s latest drama series now streaming on YouTube, has taken a refreshingly grounded look at what it really means to chase a government job in India. It follows the deeply personal journey of Raviranjan, a young man with one dream and a thousand pressures.
Sanyam Sharma plays Raviranjan with striking vulnerability and quiet strength. His character wants to secure a stable government job not just for financial security, but to win the approval of society and marry his girlfriend Jyoti, played by Mugdha Agrawal. The emotional stakes are high, but never exaggerated. The story feels real because it mirrors the lives of millions. The heartbreaks, the long nights of studying, the self-doubt, and the societal taunts are all drawn from the lived experiences of middle-class youth.
The series has earned strong word of mouth from the day it dropped. Audiences have praised it for being authentic, subtle, and deeply relatable. Its current IMDb rating stands at 8.6 out of 10, reflecting both critical and viewer appreciation. The episodes are tightly written by Somnath Karmakar and Kaviraj Singh and brought to life with sensitive direction by Soubir Ghosh and Kaviraj. What helps even more is the storytelling pace, which lets the characters breathe and makes the viewer emotionally invested in Raviranjan’s struggle.
Behind the scenes, cinematographer Alpesh Nagar captures the pressure-cooker environment of small-town ambition with clarity, while The Intern’s music lends the show a quietly emotional tone that stays with you long after the episodes end. The supporting cast, including Swastika Chakrabarti, Prakhar Singh, and Sachin Viddrrohi, bring heart and texture to the world, making every scene feel lived in.
Yeh Saali Naukri doesn’t sensationalize the exam system or turn it into a motivational montage. It understands that success in this world is rarely just about talent or hard work. It is also about timing, expectations, and the sacrifices made in the name of love or survival.
If you’ve ever faced pressure to “settle down,” fought for dignity while choosing a career path, or even just rooted for the underdog, this is a show you’ll find impossible to ignore. The fact that it is free to stream on YouTube only makes it more accessible to the very people it represents.
