Call Me Bae

If you are bored with too much of UP, Bihar , Delhi crime/police shows with vulgar language. This is something different, grab a beer and watch it.

The show is exactly what it wants to be. It's cheerful, not comical but witty at times. This is not for you if you are expecting to be getting life changing, motivational messages or too much complex drama. Even in complex situations like news room it doesn't put heavy drama, it keeps the lighter enjoyable tone.

Ananya Pandey does good job and fits into character well.

The show is visually good, Color pallet used is vibrant, not typical dusty, small town setup,

Overall it's enjoyable even in cliche and predictable moments it maintains its charm and lighter tone.

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.

Binge watched the entire show in one go. Truly marvelous acting. Don't go by the other reviews and watch with an open mind. Plots might seem obvious at some points but the stellar acting covers it up.

People say it's a rip off of Emily in Paris but that's just not true. It has the Bollywood in it which separates it apart.

The characters are well developed, the relationships are well developed. The cinematography also was magnificent. I'm glad I gave this show a chance and I feel everyone should as well if you are looking for a good chick flick.

The comedy at some point could be better but other than that the show has everything. I thought this would be a one season thing but the END! Can't wait for season two now!

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!
