Call My Agent

There's a scene in the second or third episode where farah khan wants to direct these actors in the movie, and seeing their intensity during the audition, she exclaims something like, we are making something commercial, we only want to scratch the surface of the emotions you are showing. And that's it. That's the entire series. They have commercialised the original series to such an absurd extent that it makes you wonder why did they insist on copying not just the plot lines, but the dialogues, word to word. What works for paris doesn't necessarily have to work for mumbai, which is not a bad thing; better stories could have been written, keeping the same characters in mind. Instead we get a ham-fisted xerox of the original, that really makes you question the point of watching this when the far superior version exists just a click away.

I am a massive fan of the original french series. It has heart, emotions and comedy all packaged together in a nice, easy to digest show that doesn't demand you to pay a lot of attention. This adaptation, however, seems to be a massive oversight on the part of the writers. The script is incredibly shallow and lack any sort of depth. The dialogue are trite. The shift in tone from the original series is surprising, I go even as far as to say that it feels like an afterthought. The attempts to include the typical bollywood tropes seems really hacky and to no one's surprise extremely unfunny and vapid. The performances weren't as bad as the script but not good enough the save this disaster.

Ruin the original's name. Bad adaptation, bad dialogues , bad acting and the most important very bad direction. You. Can Hardly watch 10 minutes. It's too dull and boring. Don't know how the director got the project to direct the remake of this renowned series.

If you look closely you can clearly see a pattern in these fake 9-10 rating reviews.

Mostly are 1 paragraph. Taking about one of the actor in one line. Then tagging @netflix india. Without going in any sort of details. For genuine reviews sort the reviews by date and look for the oldest reviews posted here.

Absolutely, the worst of everything. Period. Since the review requires at least 150 characters, let me reiterate, absolutely, the worst of everything.
