I loved this Lockdown special series. I really did, because it was Zain and the story was sweet too. But you can't just ruin the main character for this. What they did to Sumer is so unfair. Why do you have to show that he cheated on her.. Its not any random ex of Tanie. Its Sumer goddammit. You can't do this. It's an adaptation of a book, even tho the end was completely different, you can't just frame the main protagonist as cheater just to establish a new relation. This should've been a separate series because it just a disappointment to the NKYBF novel lovers and season 1 fans.

This was disappointing a publicity relationship makes no sense to me and the ending is abrupt. I primarily only liked Zain Imam in this season. Tani's character was annoying the way she is quick to throw people out of her life. They unnecessarily ruined Sumer's character to make this season they should have done it as a prequel or spin off instead or even better not make this season at all. Javeed's acting was amazing as always but Happy was annoying. Millennials may like this show as it is about lockdown and social media.

Zayed and tanie both did a great job. They made us laugh with their talks. I loved everything about the series. I got excited about the series since the first promo is out.

Its amazing to watch in lockdown You can relate the story jn so many sense. Its full of fun and stress buster for sure

After the success of its not so clichéd story of girl-meets-boy- Never Kiss Your Best Friend featuring Nakuul Mehta and Anya Singh, ZEE5 is back with the series' lockdown edition. With Anya and Niki Walia returning as Tanie and Happy, Zain Imam and Jaaved Jaaferi are new additions. A made-at-home series, Never Kiss Your Best Friend-Lockdown Special is here to drive away boredom.

Never Kiss Your Best Friend-Lockdown Special picks up from the point where the first edition concluded. Tanie has been through highs and lows post her breakup with her 'best friend' Sumer (Nakuul Mehta). She is convinced that kissing her best friend was the biggest mistake of her life. A believer of friendship and love can't be blended together, Tanie finds it tough to cope up with a drastic decline in the number of her social media followers. An immensely popular social media influencer and author, her image is tarnished when one of her followers Zayed (Zain Imam) declares that she has been lying about her breakup with Sumer. This prompts Tanie's mother-turned-publicist Happy (Niki Walia) to jump to her daughter's rescue and undo the damage. She suggests her to get into a fake relationship with Zayed, who was apparently the first person whom Tanie kissed that too at the age of 14. As a measure to shift her followers' focus, Tanie rekindles her relationship with Zayed.

Keeping lockdown as the central theme, the makers incorporate the Dalgona coffee challenge, plank challenge, jhadu-pocha etc. seamlessly. Although slow and predictable, Never Kiss Your Best Friend-Lockdown Special is breezy, light and has its own moments to enjoy. Director Arif Khan has managed to bring out the flavours of love and friendship in the time of lockdown with conviction. With the theme of 'ladka aur ladki kabhi dost nahin ban sakte', he has shaped the 10-episode edition in a way that keeps the youth glued to the screen throughout. Written by Sumrit Shahi, Never Kiss Your Best Friend-Lockdown Special is simple, entertaining but the twists and turns are obvious to guess. The series is a lockdown edition where most of the scenes take place through video calls. While it seems unique and fresh in the beginning, it loses its gloss pretty soon.

Anya as Tanie and Zain as Zayed are a refreshing pair to watch out for. They add a punch of masti, pyaar and loads of colourful moments to enjoy on a dull locked-down day. Staying true to the nature of the show, Anya and Zayed show immense promise leaving behind a warm fuzzy feeling. Niki as the loud and overprotective mother enjoys her own moments and doles out a natural performance. Jaaved as Bittoo Mama injects the right amount of fun. He is a delight to watch. In cameo roles, Juuhi Babbar Sonii aka Zayed's sister Fatima and Annup Sonii as her fiancé shine.

Like its prequel, Never Kiss Your Best Friend-Lockdown Special is simple, entertaining and not preachy. It makes for a superb light-hearted watch over the weekend with your loved ones.
