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.

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.

" Dil Dosti Dilemma" streaming on Prime Video is a series depicting the disconnect between the older generation and the Gen Z... and how it is bridged once the youngsters realise that they can make a difference by playing an active role, rather than remaining apathetic and indifferent...has all the ingredients for a heartwarming tale of friendship and camaraderie and about the culture and traditions... it's directed by Debbie Rao and based on Andaleeb Wajid's YA novel, "Asmara's Summer"... this Series is set in Bengaluru...we get to see glimpses of it...
Anushak Sen as Asmara is a delight to watch...a natural and blends into being Asmara with absolute ease...she holds her ground firmly even in the scenes with the more experienced Tanvi Azmi....
Shishir Sharma is absolutely adorable as Naanu...absolutely natural...and so is Tanvi Azmi, she looks so graceful... special mention must be made of the few romantic scenes between Tanvi and Shishir ...sooo cute...
Kush Jotwani, as Farzaan, has a good presence and is charming as the young man whose life takes a different turn after the entry of Asmara...they make a cute couple...
Vishakha Pandey playing Rukhsana is a treat to the eye too ...Suhasini Mulay as the grumpy grandmother Akhtar Begum is brilliant...Asmara's 2 friends Tania (Elisha Mayor) and Naina (Revathi Pillai) are good in their respective roles too...
This Series doesn't want you to rack your brains in over the top drama, but instead has you laughing, having fun, crying and falling in love with your family in the simplest and yet complicated ways... plus the characterisation of the 3 friends and how Debbie Rao explores the complexities of teenage friendship, is perfectly displayed...
Overall it's a low-cal, feel-good entertainer that gradually draws you in, just the way Asmara is drawn into Tibri Road...and leaves you dangling in anticipation for the next season...
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.
