Right from when the series begins you will realise how this one is like a random stage play comedy drama.

Scenes change randomly to some scene and intro sequence begins all of a sudden. It feels like a film chopped into a 6 episode series. Everything happening in this series is just random. It feels like a play made for kids and even written by a kid because we are in 2023 and such kind of comedy and execution may not be crass but is outright kiddish. So kids might enjoy this series.

Coming to the comedy. It's a 40% hit and remaining percentage miss. All thanks to the greatest Indian writer Farhad Samji , we are treated to jokes of kindergarten level and we are expected to laugh at them. However, the fact is some comedy sequences genuinely works well like the sequence where Johnny lever while dancing starts to get get a heart attack and everyone assuming he's holding his chest as a dance move follows him xD. Yes some parts will remind you of the 2000s era of comedy in Bollywood but the remaining comedy is just either too childish , too low iq ones or too WhatsApp-ish. A late father is understood by a church father as a father arriving late!! Absolutely nonsense.

Performance wise, all are average. Johnny lever has a few laughs but has the cringiest character. Rajpal Yadav is totally wasted . We get to see late Satish kaushik maybe one last time and he too has been handed some really bad jokes like "baccha girana" (abortion) is termed by him as take a baby and throw it to ground!!?? What rubbish. Kunal khemu is the only one putting in some effort. Saurabh shukla too has a cringy character like Johnny lever. Nupur Sanon, was she even there in this series? Idk.

Overall , if you love kiddish jokes and no brainers, you might like this otherwise skip.

I expected the show to be pure comedy like people going around hitting each other, getting shocked etc, but I was surprise that this had a decent story with a good mix of drama and comedy.

If someone's looking for pure comedy then this is not the show for you.

The amount of comedy is almost like any other comedy movie. There are scenes that make your eyes watery but also that make them happy(I guess that's not a good way to put it).

Seeing rating of 6.4 I was doubtful that this show would be good but I decided to give it a try since a lot of good comedians were involved.

I am happily surprised by my reaction and I would like others to try this.

If you are a fan of 2000s Bollywood comedies and the cast, then it is worth watching this film, despite what other critics may say. Director Farhad Samji has shown significant improvement in his comedy directing skills. The plot is straightforward, and some of the jokes may be familiar, but the presentation is enjoyable. The characters are well-written, and the story remains grounded, with excellent comic timing throughout. The entire cast delivers their roles with their best efforts, making for an entertaining experience. In recent movies, I haven't laughed as much, but this one gave me unexpected fun. I watched it in two seatings only, which speaks to it's watchability. The songs are well-suited for the comedy genre, although I skipped most of them. While the storyline may not always make sense, it's all in good fun.

This is very mutch brilliant.. if u hav been a fan of bollywood movies since Govinda times. Uv gona luv the characters.. but this is no old age style commedy.. its pretty much very sarcastic and inteligent comedy Its fun to watch old favorites together again.. What give is next edge is Brilliant Kunal Khemu.. lvd him in Go Goa Gone.. he is just british level comedian.. i truly insist u guys to watch this.. Indian Comedy is in terrible decline.. nd these guys are actually saving it.. This series walks the sensitive line of comedy thats not even seen for the past 20 years.. Worth watching guys.. !!

Kunal khemu has been an underrated comedian for a real long time. He displays versatile comedy in this with great actors such as JOHNY LEVER, SATISH KAUSHIK & CHUNKY PANDEY.

Never the less, even Ms. Sanon does display some mere talent in the movie.

However to the plot leaves us in some suspense to know there maybe a sequel to the same. A few lame jokes here and there, with a few english slangs allowed v/s few Hindi slangs tried to be covered up or hushed seem a little off track. I did not get the logic of external narrators which were only a distraction.

Overall it's a good watch that can be either a hit or a miss too.
