New Delhi: JioHotstar, in collaboration with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), has released a five-part documentary series titled RBI Unlocked: Beyond the Rupee. Produced by Chalkboard Entertainment, the series is timed with the 90th anniversary of the RBI and seeks to provide an in-depth look at the central institution’s role in India’s economic journey.
The documentary marks a first in terms of the access granted, offering viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the RBI’s functioning, from gold vaults and printing presses to crisis management rooms. The series aims to explain the RBI’s influence on inflation, interest rates, and currency stability, while also illustrating its response to economic challenges affecting over 1.4 billion people.
The programme includes interviews with key figures in Indian economic policy, such as current and former Governors of the RBI, the Secretary of the Department of Financial Services, and the Secretary of the Department of Economic Affairs. Economists and industry experts also feature in the series, which incorporates archival footage, dramatised recreations, and discussions on pivotal moments including the 1991 pledging of gold, banking reforms, and the COVID-19 response.
