Binge-watch worthy Microdramas on Story TV This Long Weekend

With a long weekend ahead, there’s plenty of time to settle in with a story that keeps you coming back for the next episode. Not every binge needs to be a familiar story. This long weekend, here are five microdramas on Story TV that take familiar emotions, love, betrayal, ambition, revenge and loyalty, and put an unexpected spin on them. From an heir who goes undercover in his own company to a journalist who gets a divine ultimatum, these are stories where the next turn is rarely the obvious one.

Here are our five picks to add to your long-weekend watchlist.

What if the new intern at your company was actually its billionaire heir?

Kabir Malhotra goes undercover at his own company to uncover corruption from within. But navigating a toxic CEO and her corrupt right-hand man is only part of the challenge. As everyone around him continues to underestimate him, Kabir quietly works to prevent the company from collapsing while falling for someone who likes him for who she thinks he is. The real twist comes when his true identity is finally revealed.

Aditi Rajput once served as a fearless army sniper before giving up her career for love. When her husband's family begins treating her sacrifice as weakness, they don't realise just how much they have underestimated her.

After betrayal turns her life upside down, Aditi sets out to reclaim her name, expose the truth and rebuild what she lost. Sherni is a revenge-and-redemption story about a woman who refuses to let betrayal define her.

Starring: Tushar Dhemble and Nyra Banerjee

Akshay Sharma is a high-profile anchor at news channel Sach Tak, where sensationalism and questionable ethics have made him a successful, if morally compromised, journalist. But when his mother is diagnosed with terminal cancer, an unexpected encounter with a modern, corporate-dressed Ganeshji changes the rules. He offers to save her on one condition: Akshay must report only the truth.

Akshay begins taking on powerful corporations and challenging political narratives, only to discover that his attempts to derail his own career are making him more popular. As corporate threats escalate and his mother's medical insurance is sabotaged, he is forced to choose between wealth, career and the integrity he is only beginning to find.

Starring: Mohit Kumar and Bhaveeka Choudhary

Aryan is an honest, hardworking engineer who believes in building a life with the woman he loves. But when his wife Meera is drawn towards the wealth and lifestyle offered by a billionaire, their relationship begins to fracture.

Adhura Ishq takes a more emotional turn, exploring what happens when love, ambition, and financial security pull two people in different directions, and whether love alone can hold a marriage together.

Starring: Rajveer Singh and Aradhana Sharma

Romeo, once a legendary street racer, has buried his past and settled into a quiet life as a mechanic. But a mafia kingpin pulls him back into the world of high-stakes heists. Then comes the bigger shock: the girlfriend he believed was dead is actually alive, brainwashed and working for the enemy. What follows is a high-octane story of identity, loyalty and a man fighting to reclaim the people and life he thought he had lost forever.

Starring: Karam Rajpal and Sonya Ayodhya

At a time when viewers have more entertainment choices than ever, stories that establish their stakes quickly have an obvious advantage. These five take that approach in very different directions, from workplace intrigue and family betrayal to romance and espionage, but all are built around characters whose lives change when they least expect it.
