From Corporate Nightmares to Culinary Dreams: India’s First Vertical Drama Reeloid Announces New Original Vertical Series ‘Stirring Dreams

Mumbai: In a fresh addition to the booming world of vertical entertainment, Reeloid Media is set to release its latest original series, “Stirring Dreams,” on December 18. Produced by Rohit Gupta, the series promises an emotional and inspiring look at a woman’s journey from the constraints of a toxic corporate job to the freedom of entrepreneurship.
The trailer, released this week, introduces audiences to Vidya, a determined professional whose career aspirations are crushed by workplace sexism. One of the trailer’s most pivotal moments shows Vidya being told by a superior that her “place is in the kitchen”—a derogatory remark that sets the stage for her transformation. Rather than being defeated, Vidya chooses to reclaim the narrative, turning the kitchen from a place of confinement into her fortress of success.
“Stirring Dreams” appears to tackle the modern dilemma of “dreams turned nightmares,” following Vidya as she pivots from a high-pressure office environment to launching her own food venture. The series tagline, “Cook Your Dreams,” and “Serve with Courage,” hints at a heartwarming success story where home-cooked meals become the recipe for self-respect and financial independence.
Glimpses from the show reveal the struggles of a startup founder—from facing skepticism and potential legal hurdles (“Arrest or Seal?”) to the ultimate joy of customer validation. The narrative challenges the age-old societal trope that a woman’s journey is only from her “parents’ home to her in-laws’ home,” offering instead a path of professional self-discovery.
As short-form vertical drama continues to capture the attention of mobile-first audiences, Reeloid is positioning this series as a relatable, bite-sized inspiration for aspiring entrepreneurs.
“Stirring Dreams” premieres exclusively on the Reeloid App on December 18.
