Why we picked it

  • Opens with a question ("If Diwali celebrates Shri Ram’s return to Ayodhya, why do we worship Lakshmi and Ganesha?") that makes people stay for the answer.
  • 149 seconds and people still watched: the story holds attention to the end.
  • 2.4 comments per 100 likes, so it started real conversation.

How a reel gets featured

Every week we choose one niche and pick the three reels that did it best. Being picked is free and can't be bought.

We look for

  • A public account with 10,000+ followers, or a reel with 30,000+ views
  • Posted in the last few weeks
  • Original content, made by the creator who posted it
  • Strong engagement for its size: likes, comments and shares
  • A clear hook and a reason people watched to the end

Never featured or sponsored

  • Political content
  • Nudity or adult content
  • Content involving children
  • Purely AI-generated content
  • Violence, hate or copied reels

The same rules apply to sponsored reels. A sponsored reel is always labelled "Sponsored" and shown after our three picks.
