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.

Could have been an amazing show, however: 1) no depth to characters.

2) No reality to the struggles of moving penniless to Mumbai.

3) No suspense or follow through to the ' mystery'?

4) TERRIBLE ACTING 5) Very poor comedic timing.

6) Nothing is believable. Not the characters, Not the scenarios portrayed as life in Mumbai, not the ease of getting a job. Not the clothes ( the outfits worn in non air conditioned surroundings. From Heavy satin PJ's to Jackets and I think i spotted a fur!

Come on Guys. Come on Dharma productions! You gave us the best and now you've reduced yourselves to this???

Heartbroken. Especially after KKHH!

This was a good watch! Very entertaining, dialogue was good, there were some technical errors but not so much that it bothered me. Ananya was VERY good, her expressions were on point and she was grounded where needed, and loved the supporting cast. I do think gurfatteh and her chemistry was good during the important scene they shared, but otherwise his character was too toned down I felt. That's my only really bother because I think there could have been more potential with them. I enjoyed the Bollywood references A LOT. That was a nice touch. Overall great watch, predictable ending but guess we will see what happened if there is a season 2. I do hope there is one!

Amazon Prime's new series Call Me Bae is a glittery take on a Gen-Z socialite's fall from grace. Packed with fashion, sass, and social commentary, it's a breezy 8-episode ride. While it lacks emotional depth, it delivers enough glam and giggles to binge on a lazy weekend. If you liked Emily in Paris, you'll enjoy this breezy watch. Just don't expect substance with your sparkle.

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.
