Stupid Man, Smart Phone (Indian web series)

Stupid Man, Smart Phone is an Indian adaptation of the British reality television series of the same name. The premise revolves around a celebrity, often unfamiliar with outdoor survival skills, being paired with a smartphone and its apps to navigate and survive in a remote and challenging environment.

The Indian version, produced by BBC Studios India, typically features Sumeet Vyas as the "stupid man" and uses smartphone technology to aid his survival in various wilderness scenarios. Episodes usually involve tasks and challenges that require the use of specific apps, such as mapping, navigation, communication, and identifying edible plants or building shelter.

The series highlights the reliance on technology in modern life and juxtaposes it with the raw realities of survival. It explores themes of human ingenuity, adaptation, and the potential benefits and limitations of smartphone technology in extreme situations. The Indian adaptation often incorporates cultural elements and landscapes specific to India, differentiating it from its British counterpart. The format generally includes a comedic element, derived from the contrast between Vyas' lack of survival expertise and his dependence on the smartphone. The show aims to be entertaining while subtly demonstrating the capabilities of smartphone technology in unconventional contexts.
