Speaking up about what makes the show special, Darsheel Safary, who essays the character of Raghu, said, “I personally think that Gamerlog opens up a conversation that goes much beyond joystick nostalgia and time-pass gaming. It highlights the discipline, struggle, dedication, teamwork, and real emotional stakes of being part of the e-sports world. Basically, the very real world that exists beyond the gaming monitor. I feel it might offer a new perspective to parents. And for gamers, I hope it feels like we’ve done their world justice, with all the heart and honesty it deserves.”

Anjali Sivaraman, who plays the sharp, no-nonsense Joanna, added, “Honestly, when I was first told about e-sports, I had absolutely no idea what to picture. I thought it was all joystick-based, and I didn’t realise how big PC gaming was or how collaborative it could be. I didn’t even know there were professional teams! I learned so much on this project. The boys on set play regularly, and they were sweet enough to take me to arcades and gaming cafes. They introduced me to Counter-Strike and taught me the controls. It flipped my whole perspective. And now, I get it — the rush, the community, the stakes.”

Packed with laughs, awkward bonding, and surprisingly poignant moments, Gamerlog is now available for free exclusively on Amazon MX Player, available through its apps on mobile, Amazon’s shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Connected TVs.
