The series initially premiered in October 2023 on the Voovi platform.

In an Indian home, there is rarely such a thing as "my space"—it is always "our space." Decisions, from what to cook for Sunday lunch to which car to buy, are collective debates. It’s a lifestyle built on the beautiful, sometimes chaotic, friction of being constantly connected to one another.

Season 1 of Imli Bhabhi was rolled out in serialized installments. Part 1 established the characters and initial flirtations, Part 2 escalated the romantic entanglements, and Part 3 served as a climactic continuation of the localized drama.
