Collin D’Cunha surely has what it takes. Call Me Bae, which is streaming on Amazon Prime from September 6, is no ordinary happening. It is monstrously entertaining and insanely binge-worthy. What’s more, it doesn’t make any concerted effort to seduce us into its storytelling.

It doesn’t need to. It breaks all the rudimentary rules of the streaming business with content that is unapologetically formulistic and emphatically entertaining. The series is at once a jolt to the norm and a visit to La La Land.

Every character is real yet fairytale-like. Good looks are prerequisite. But no one here is an airhead. The protagonist discusses Naipaul with as much authority as Gucci. The idea is to tease audiences with a high dose of the don’t-we-know-this-character aphrodisiac.

Vir Das is especially a scream as a self-obsessed news journalist who shouts his way into nightly attention through the TRPs. The rest of the cast too,...
