Call Me Bae

**NEPOTISM, NEPOTISM, NEPOTISM - but not always, guys!**

First, you should go and watch the show. Don't fall for the idea that it's high-class drama only for high-class society. Anyone can watch it in one go.

The storyline is amazing! It's about a girl from an elite background who gets kicked out of her luxurious life and rises to become a top-notch journalist.

The comedy timing was spot on.

Ananya Pandey-I've always liked her and her acting, except in *Hum Kho Gaye Kahan*. This is her best OTT series with mind-blowing performances by everyone.

Neel's character may feel underdeveloped, but Gurfateh Pirzada is a good actor. Maybe the producers just didn't have much for him in this.

Vir Das, as usual, was great.

Niharika Dutt is absolutely lovable.

Mini Mathur is such a great actress-please give her more screen time!

Muskan Jafferi as Saira was fantastic. Without her, it would be impossible to enjoy this series as much.

Finally, I found Varun Sood's journey wonderful. Loved him in this.

Varun Arora, the upcoming comedy sensation, had limited screen time, but you'll love him in every scene.

Every small character, from the chef in the house to the police station actors, was great.

Go and watch! It's a must-watch drama-comedy.

I'm not for fluff, I have never liked Karan Johar's movies like Student of the Year kinds .. but call me Bae is actually a nice watch.

Watch it without any judgement. It's pure entertainment with a cute mockery of the rich and famous without being derisive .

I actually watched a few reviews by famous reviewers and earlier decided to drop it because they were not that encouraging.

But having lost trust in the famous reviewers over the last few years (especially after Pathan ;);)) , I decided to give it a go.

The fact that I completed the 1at episode and decided to continue told me that I would sail through.

I particularly loved the innocence of Ananya Pandey. As per the movie, one doesn't have to go to journalism school to be a famous journalist, the same way I feel Ananya doesn't have to be a fabulous actor to hold the entire show. She has done a good job by acting who she is, how we see her on social media .

The supporting cast is full of energy and that doesn't let the show go boring. Vir Das is good as an irritating Tehelka style presenter.

My favourite is the watchman who tells Ananya - Aapki majboori jahan shuru hoti hai, wahan tak pahunchna hee to apna sapna hai 😀 with a snide ref of Siddhant Chaturvedi.

Call Me Bae turned out to be an enjoyable watch, though it had its ups and downs. The show started off weak, with the first few episodes being quite underwhelming. I found myself not having a great experience initially, as the performances and direction in the beginning were mediocre at best. However, as the story progressed and the plot began to unfold, the series took a much more engaging turn.

Once the narrative dove into its core plot, I was hooked. The story became increasingly captivating, drawing me in as the episodes went by. The performances, too, improved significantly as the show advanced, with the last two to three episodes showcasing some solid acting across the board. In these final episodes, the cast seemed to hit their stride, delivering more convincing and compelling performances.

The direction also improved as the series progressed. While the earlier episodes felt lackluster in terms of execution, the later episodes were much more polished. The pacing, scene transitions, and overall storytelling were handled with much more finesse towards the end.

One standout element throughout the series was the music. From the very beginning, the songs were well-chosen and played an integral role in enhancing the emotions of each scene. The way the music was used to complement key moments was well-executed, adding depth and atmosphere to the narrative.

However, the ending left me with mixed feelings. The series concludes with a cliffhanger, which, while intriguing, didn't entirely sit well with me. Rather than pushing for a second season, I would have preferred an open ending, leaving certain aspects of the story to the audience's imagination.

In conclusion, Call Me Bae is far from a groundbreaking series or a new pinnacle of storytelling, but it's a fun and entertaining watch. It has its flaws, especially in the beginning, but as it finds its footing, it becomes an engaging and worthwhile experience.s.

If you are bored with too much of UP, Bihar , Delhi crime/police shows with vulgar language. This is something different, grab a beer and watch it.

The show is exactly what it wants to be. It's cheerful, not comical but witty at times. This is not for you if you are expecting to be getting life changing, motivational messages or too much complex drama. Even in complex situations like news room it doesn't put heavy drama, it keeps the lighter enjoyable tone.

Ananya Pandey does good job and fits into character well.

The show is visually good, Color pallet used is vibrant, not typical dusty, small town setup,

Overall it's enjoyable even in cliche and predictable moments it maintains its charm and lighter tone.

Binge watched the entire show in one go. Truly marvelous acting. Don't go by the other reviews and watch with an open mind. Plots might seem obvious at some points but the stellar acting covers it up.

People say it's a rip off of Emily in Paris but that's just not true. It has the Bollywood in it which separates it apart.

The characters are well developed, the relationships are well developed. The cinematography also was magnificent. I'm glad I gave this show a chance and I feel everyone should as well if you are looking for a good chick flick.

The comedy at some point could be better but other than that the show has everything. I thought this would be a one season thing but the END! Can't wait for season two now!
