Dil Dosti Dilemma

1. Contemporary, relatable storyline 2. The screen adaptation, I'm sure has been made to look more 2024 than 2016; and it has worked.

3. There is a sense of snobbiness in the main characters but at the same time a lot of refreshing innocence, making them even more likable 4. The dialog delivery, the acting is more natural than stage acting influenced exaggeration.

5. It's feel good but not so idealistic that it's almost impractical.

6. The class struggle, especially between the people who are entitled and the world they were not a part of and too embarrassed to acknowledge being connected to, is all too real in any society where the class divide is massive, especially in the contempary India. It's very relatable.

7. The acting by senior actors like Tanvi Azmi and Shishir Sharma is a delight but the younger ones brought a refreshing combination of maturity and innocence that was magical.

8. The dialogs in Urdu but not so chaste that it's impossible for a normal Hindi speaker to understand was mellifluous while being practical.

I loved it. I was a bit hesitant to watch it in the beginning but after 20 mins I binge watched it. I loved all the characters and was it Tibri world. Great work entire cast and crew. Bond between Asmara and Ruru is amazing. Totally enjoyed their signature step. Nana and Nani are lovable. Everyone wish they have similar Nana and Nani. This series also tells us about the value of people over the money. Songs are also very touchy and enjoyed the comedy. I would recommend this series to my entire family and friends. It's worth watching with entire family. This could be a great line for the film even.

"Dil Dosti Dilemma" is a charming addition. The show's fresh cast brings a vibrant energy to the screen, making the story both engaging and a whole lot of fun. While it may not be the most groundbreaking series, its lighthearted approach makes it a perfect choice for a leisurely binge-watch.

The plot offers plenty of twists and turns to keep viewers hooked, and the relatable characters add a layer of depth. With a winning combination of humor, friendship, and a touch of romance, "Dil Dosti Dilemma" delivers a delightful viewing experience. If you're looking for a show that's easy to enjoy and guaranteed to leave you smiling, this one is worth checking out.

They have done some good stuff in this show, no denial. But the writing is so cringy, the characters so caricature-ish, and the depth show shallow that you just can't take it seriously.

This is one of those classic TVF style shows that are in trend which are a result of Flames and Immature being successful. Very low stakes, very lazy writing, no character depth at all.

If you're craving a Crushed/Immature style immature show with tryhard comedy this might be for you. But if you want to watch something that is actually meaningful, and is not based on the TVF success pattern of creating low stakes happy shows, this is not for you.

Adapted from the YA novel Asmara's Summer by Andaleeb Wajid, Dil Dosti Dilemma on Prime Video is a youthful and entertaining series that showcases Anushka Sen's talent in the lead role as Asmara, a privileged girl from Bengaluru whose planned summer trip to Canada gets unexpectedly rerouted to her grandparents' middle-class neighbourhood. This sets up a coming of age narrative filled with humour, life lessons, and emotional moments.

The supporting cast, featuring talented actors like Tanvi Azmi and Shishir Sharma as Asmara's grandparents add significant warmth to the storyline. Their interactions with Asmara are the best parts of the show. Unfortunately the subplots involving Asmara's best friends tend to derail the flow of the story. These story tracks are woefully underdeveloped and lack the same depth and charm as the core narrative that they constantly keep interrupting - not to mention the majority of the cringe humour is to be found with Asmara's interaction with her BFFs.

Ultimately, this is a cute series that strikes a balance between humour and drama while exploring themes of family, tradition, and self-discovery. Anushka Sen has a successful career ahead of her!
