When Netflix dropped the trailer of "Single Papa", I honestly wasn't impressed. Rather than presenting a Show, it looked like they were just announcing. I initially, wasn't interested.
I gave it a try and boy! I watched the entire series in 1 Go. This is Kunal Khemu's BESTEST WORK EVER!
Kudos to the writers Ishita Moitra and Neeraj Udhwani for the tight script. The screenplay is engaging and Kunal's one liners are quite hilarious, i.e. "Quick Gun Murugan".
This is a unique genre, - broadly, a drama, but with very high EQ. It has the right mix of emotions, comedy and drama.
Acting wise - Kunal aces the role of Gaurav Gehlot, a spoiled, entitled brat whose father (played by Manoj Pahwa) owns 2 wine shops in Gurugram. Manoj Pahwa is, as always a delight to watch. Prajakta, Ankur Rathi, Neha Dhupia, Isha Talwar, Daya and Ayesha Raza, Luke Kenny - everyone played their parts well. Isha, especially was under-used. Neha Dhupia as non-nonsense Mr. Romila Nehra was fabulous to watch. The baby Amul is too cute.
This is not your unique Rom-Com or Family drama, but it is about a baby who was abandoned in Kunal's car.
One thing I didn't get was, "Who is getting married in the month of September?" Put that thing aside and it is a fantastic series to watch.
