Dil Dosti Dilemma

Currently, OTT platforms are filled with thrillers, gangster dramas, and serious subjects. This is where this light-hearted drama stands out amidst it all.

The story follows Asmara, a young, rich, and spoiled brat who is forced to spend her summer holidays with her grandparents in a local neighborhood of Bangalore as punishment. To maintain her image, she lies to her friends, claiming to be in Canada, while she navigates her life with new challenges, relationships, and explores love in her new environment.

It's a simple story that doesn't claim to be unique, yet it's the performances and execution that truly connect with you. With just 7 episodes, it doesn't demand much of your time, but you'll find yourself thoroughly invested. The writing is tight, allowing every character to make a special place in your heart. A few liberties must be overlooked, such as how Asmara seems to know everything, giving life lessons despite being portrayed as confused herself, or how her friends suddenly shift from being brats to becoming inclusive.

Anushka Sen, as the lead, is the right choice for the role. She looks beautiful, and her mix of chirpiness and innocence is perfect for the character, though she stumbles a bit in emotional scenes. Kush Jotwani has a dashing personality and performs well. Vishakha Pandey is a treat to watch with her cute antics. Tanvi Azmi and Shishir Sharma as the grandparents perform brilliantly, as expected from seasoned actors. Revathi Pillai and Elisha Mayor, as friends, embody their characters well. A series of other supporting actors provide strong performances and are fine in their roles.

The nuances of the small neighborhood are captured well, allowing you to connect with the characters. The styling of Anushka and her friends is spot-on, and the transition from rich to middle-class through their clothing is well-executed. The way the title montage appears in each episode is a nice touch. The series ends on a note that hints at a second season.

This comedy-drama deserves your time, and you should definitely give it a shot, despite a few liberties. Don't expect an out-of-this-world storyline, but it certainly won't bore you.

This show is a very fun and easy breeze to sit through and watch in one sitting. Having read the book Asmara's Summer by which it has been adapted recently, this show fleshes out those characters in they way that they deserved.

The comedy was fun and my whole family sat through it and watched it together.

The young cast shows off that they can stand against the veteran actors during the drama sequences of the show.

The music that has been composed for this show stands out and delivers when it is needed and the songs are some of the best recent original Hindi songs I have heard in a long time.

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 starts off cringey with overdone teen tropes, but stick with it, the emotional payoff is worth it. Asmara's transformation from a privileged brat to a grounded, empathetic young woman is the heart of this show.

The real charm lies in the warmth of Tibri Road, especially the grandparents played by Shishir Sharma and Tanvi Azmi. Suhasini Mulay is a scene-stealer as the fierce Akhtar Begum.

The friendships feel underdeveloped, and some plot points are rushed or unresolved, but the show's aesthetic, solid performances, and feel-good vibes carry it through.

It's light, emotional, and culturally grounded, perfect for a quick binge. Now if only they'd give us Season 2 after that cliffhanger.

Nice serial......saw 2 episodes only......grandson wants to watch something else......giving it a break.

Somebody has done a good job of researching the lifestyle in the separate environments and the delinquencies of the immature children grown up to fake living standards.

The story until now is a fact of life and not just a figment of imagination. The reality isn't weird as sanskara and samskara only can bring the children onto the ground level.....sending her to her Naanis house is a correct resolution.

Humorous and keeps one glued to the TV. Your acting as the typical retired husband of the house is also an eye opener for all house holds.

The script is nice and natural, obviously, meant more for the present generation on values of relationships.
