Synopsis
Set in 1978 Bombay, Made in India: A Titan Story chronicles the rise of Titan through the vision of Xerxes Desai and Akash Dikshit, who sought to challenge India's smuggler-dominated watch market by building a world-class Indian brand. Facing bureaucratic obstacles, financial crisis, and repeated setbacks, the team transforms an ambitious idea into a national success. However, a risky overseas expansion pushes Titan to the brink of collapse, forcing its founders to stake everything on one final innovation that could either save the company or end their dream forever.

Reception
Rahul Desai of The Hollywood Reporter India called it "The feel-good watch of the year" and writes that "there’s something about A Titan Story. It may be privileged and blessed with plenty, but it’s also undeniably talented and entertaining."
Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave 3 stars out of 5 and writes that "Yes, it’s bygone, but the qualities it endorses are timeless: the Titan story, a branding and marketing triumph, is inspiring, and the show remains watchable despite those quibbles, bookended by wonderful performances from Shah and Sarbh."
Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com observed that "Where Made in India's docudrama scores is its feel-good sincerity."
Anurag Singh Bohra of India Today gave 3.5 stars out of 5 and said that "If you grew up seeing Titan ads and believing in “Made in India” before it became a slogan, this one will hit differently. Warm, human, and quietly inspiring."
Abhishek Srivastava of The Times of India rated it 4/5 stars and writes that "Made in India - A Titan Story leaves an impression as it pays equal attention to its smaller moments as much as its larger achievements."
Vinamra Mathur of Firstpost also gave 4 stars out of 5 and writes that "It may be an imperfect show, but something that also happens to be a crucial and fun ‘watch.’ No pun intended here!"
Bollywood Hungama rated 4/5 stars and said that "MADE IN INDIA: A TITAN STORY is a brilliantly made show that tells a fascinating story not many are aware of. The performances by Jim Sarbh, Naseeruddin Shah and the rest of the cast are the icing on the cake."
Rachit Gupta writing for Filmfare also gave 4 stars out of 5 and praise the performance of the cast and writes that "Made In India: A Titan Story is at its best a warm, well-intentioned love letter to the spirit of Indian enterprise, to the men and women who believed, in the face of Swiss scepticism and domestic bureaucracy, that India could put a world-class watch on the world's wrist."
