Oops Ab Kya?

This series is a perfect combination of comedy, romance, drama, itsy-bitsy thrill. It is such a well balanced storyline, it keeps you entertained but at the same time, also, doesn't weigh heavily on your mind. Just when one would think, things are getting too emotional, there would be a witty funny scene releasing the pressure and this is probably why one would want to continue watching it. No unnecessary cliff hangers is always a plus for me.

Each and every actor has portrayed their character beautifully. Needless to say, the narration at the background was very fun and very much required. I would love me some more seasons.

Roohi a virgin because she has promised her naani, gets pregnant by IVF by mistake :) She has a super cute and nice boyfriend who is in CBI. The father is her rich boss, who has a cheating wife. Roohi and this rich boss have some chemistry. Then there is also a parallel story of murders and dead bodies dropping here and there. Who is the killer and what will Roohi do.

Its something you watch when you just want to laugh a little without putting any mind

So this is no great work of art. They are also not trying hard to be feminists or male right activists or doing the right thing types, its just random. And randomly funny.

I had a bunch of LOL moments during the episodes

Also suddenly towards the end they have tried to make it a thriller. The cliffhanger ending was unexpected.

For a just mistake of some doctor, how omkar loses his loyalty. He was loyal at last but how can he adopt someone child knowing that who was her ex boyfriend. I know that understandable is good for relationship but how can someone that understandable which was ended knows loss at all. The worst story line i ever watch.

Secondly its showing the society of which bad boys who are rich are the best and honest middleclass boy are always bad in relationship coz they cant understand fake relationship theories. If someone van be with her girlfriend knowing that she can't loose her virginity coz her grandmother told some pathetic line gullak , and after that what he was getting that a line that he can take girlfriend ex's child

For conclusion: I can proudly say omkar was not deserve by roohi.

A plot that in theory supports comedy is stretched to the limit with one dimensional characters.

It's apparently an adaptation of another series and they have done a terrible job. Apart from the fact that the actors (sorry to Stanislavski for even calling what these folks do as 'acting') are terrible, there aren't any laughs at all. I had to skip scenes to somehow get through two episodes.

Why is the Indian OTT landscape full of such unimaginative non original content? I think they have even stopped trying to give viewers anything new. Might as well watch 'saas bahu' dramas since this is basically a redressed version of one.

Roohi (Shweta Basu Prasad) is 28 years old and still a virgin owing to a promise she made to her grandmother (Apara Mehta). Subhadra's apprehension comes from the fact that her daughter and Roohi's mother, Paakhi (Sonali Kulkarni) had a teenage pregnancy, a fact that brought social shame in a conservative society. But having mended ties with her once estranged daughter, the three now live as a close knit family, bingeing on their favourite television soap together, every evening. Omkar (Abhay Mahajan) Roohi's boyfriend of three years is deeply committed to her and agrees to wait till they are officially hitched.

It's all pretty hunky-dory till Roohi's visit to gynae for a check-up leaves her pregnant! In a case of mistaken identity, she is artificially inseminated by the one of the last few 'good sperms' of a man who turns out to be her boss, Samar (Ashim Gulati). While Roohi's first reaction is to opt for an abortion, Samar who has survived testicular cancer and his wife Alisha (Amy Aela) try to convince her to be a surrogate mother, so they can adopt the baby, putting her in a dilemma. But that's not the only thing that adds chaos to her life.

While Omkar tries to be supportive of her decision to carry the baby to full term, Roohi finds herself getting increasingly attracted to Samar. To complicate matters further, Samar and Alisha seem to have hit a dead end in their marriage. And in the middle of all this ensuing drama, there is some more when Roohi finds out the identity of her father, who she never knew of. On the other hand, Omkar, an Intelligence Bureau detective unearths some uncomfortable truths about Samar's family, while investigating a drug smuggling case. As personalities Samar and Omkar are as different as chalk and cheese and almost at each other's throat most times.

Oops! Ab Kya? The official adaptation of the series, Jane The Virgin, pretty much follows the same trajectory, with a few changes. Overall, the narrative is a pot-pourri of emotional highs and lows, drama and comedy. While the series humours the common tropes of soap operas quite effectively, it goes over the top quite often. Also the over-explanation by the narrator robs the show of some of its charm. And there are some cringe moments too ('Gullak' as a metaphor for virginity being one) and the jokes don't always land. But that said, it does tear into societal norms and hypocrisies while sticking to its quirky, chaotic vibe.

The series has good, dependable performances by seasoned actors Apara Mehta, Jaaved Jaffrey and Sonali Kulkarni. Shweta Basu Prasad is impressive as Roohi, going through a gamut of emotions as her life goes from perfectly planned to topsy-turvy. Abhay Mahajan as the no-nonsense, committed Omkar and Ashim Gulati as the suave Samar hit the right notes.

Overall, Oops! Ab Kya? Is a mixed bag though it makes for a decent, breezy watch. And of course the cliff-hanger ending ensures there will be a season 2.
