Thank you for the shoutout Anmol. Pooja was a little complex for me to play , other than the 4kgs of prosthetics that i had to wear :) i was very wary of the kind of reaction that a character like her would get. Arya is flawed , but thinks hes perfect and Pooja doesn't care what anyone has to say about her body. I can see some people in the comment section talking about how heavy robust women are common in India - and that's exactly the point. Arya will still be snobbish about it and not want his wife to meet Pooja because she is flawed (in his eyes). For me its a reflection on his character who has shallow moments but like you said in the end we see him learning a lesson in a few places.
Didn’t creater want us to laugh at Pooja when Arya is embarrassed when his wife sees Pooja? His embarrassment and her laughter isn’t intended to make fun of Pooja’s body?
@@meghachougule If you are conscient or reasonable enough to see the problems with the characters, that's great. But don't expect the characters to be goody two shoes who abide by the social norms and don't say/do offending things.
Absolutely! This is a very complex show. We cannot say it's a masterpiece and at the same time, it is not bad as well. The character portrayals were good, funny moments chirping in between and most importantly talking about the unfamiliar, unspoken and hidden instances in the society. It can definitely be watched for its attempt itself❤️
I have come to realise that the problem is in our expectations from movies. We want it to be a piece of social commentary or 'just entertainment' based on our biases. As far as it echoes what we think, it can be a force for good, else it should stick to entertainment. We will forever be in conflict unless we all agree the purpose of movies.
There is only one purpose of a movie or content in general....to entertain, no matter the story, tonality, style etc. Anything else is BS and overhyping the importance of content.
We don’t have to define Movies purpose. It can be for entertainment for some, social commentary for others. Just that if you are looking for something don’t expect others to look for the same. And don’t criticize others for liking/expecting something different from what you like.
I thoroughly enjoyed the show and feel that the backlash was unjust. The only cringe worthy part for me was the portrayal of a heavy bottomed woman.. the picturisation and the reaction generated was too exaggerated.. come on, India is a land of heavy, robust women too!! We are not a rare species!!
Yes, somebody said it, apart from that, the show was very funny till episode 4 after that it shifted more towards drama then comedy.. I loved the show before Pooja entered tbh..
@@anupamaMall Yes but metoo n domestic violence, these things have two sides to it. But to be born into gender is not a choice n shouldnt be shown so insensitively. The part where women maids hit for being called as trans gender is so uncomfortable. Arya was in character but Shruti showing no sensibility there just for a small revenge was not looking funny. They raise a kid together n seem mentally stable. It was not relatable at satire or humour level as it was looking forced hence very cringe
I totally enjoyed the show, and I felt it was a welcome respite from the normal romantic dramas we are dished. This was the first time I rooted for a couple to "decouple". We need more of such character portrayals to normalize flawed, human people like us.
This is the earliest I’ve been to this channel. This show needed to punch up and a diverse writers room. Netflix needs to stop tokenising diversity and actually be diverse, especially in Indian content.
I had a great time watching this series.. flawed characters, relatable situations of urban life, calling fake woke ppl out, just a breath of fresh air in this era of shitty shows we come across..
I really enjoyed this show, it is what it is, nobody is celebrating Arya. He is flawed in multiple ways and so are we. I think we should get over the concept of one antagonist who is extremely evil vs one protagonist who is just perfect.
Same. That's what I thought too. C'mmon what's wrong in having a little snobbish touch for the main character. I mean we all have our pluses and minuses right. Nobody's perfect. If he doesn't like dark, fatty women..That shows his character. Just because he's the main character doesn't mean he should be perfect. What I loved about this series is the director had taken a dig at both liberals and whatever the opposite of a liberal😁
The first episode of the show and I felt so strong vibes of "Bojack Horseman" (Soldier instance) and "The Office" (Camera Work/Documented Style). This show was so brilliant and fun! It's really intelligently written with unique storytelling of its own. Purely creative and simply neat. Each intro was a signature style of this show and a clue to how well thought the creators are.
This is what happens when you hire a bunch of very amazing writers and very talented Actors. This is not your Bollywood shit where there is a very generic story and everything is perfect.

@ If that happens, more sensible people will leave from here( Many already did). No sane guy wants to live in a dictatorship or in a place with no sense of freedom. Unfortunately that's the direction this nation is heading, and I'mma get out of here as soon as possible.
I loved it. Showed the hypocrisy of both the woke liberals and the conservatives at the same time. Excellent writing. Never imagined I'll see an indian show like this. Manu joseph is a genius.
I watched this show in one go and have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the writing. I can acknowledge that there are some flawed scenes that did not land well, but most of it was much better than the standard fare we get. Especially loved the dynamic shared between Surveen Chawla and Madhavan. I recall starting the show with the impression of Madhavan's character as being irredeemable, but by the end you also understand that the man is not wrong in his observations (mostly). Also it was nice to see any character get their comeuppance in the most hilarious of ways.
I absolutely loved this series, It sheds light on so many things people don't even talk about. It points out so many issues which we live by daily and double standard of people!
Off the topic, I'm liking the fact that many of our comments are edited, I think this is the first step towards getting self-aware, reflecting on what you are expressing, before or after expressing it. I am also liking that people are commenting carefully, rather than just picking a side because you are expected to. All thanks to you Jammy, yet to watch the show, after watching this review, I am excited to watch it now :)
There is a big difference between a show normalizing and glorifying wrong things( like fairness obsession, domestic violence etc.) and the characters in it doing such things. Don't know why the Twitter gang wants every main character in a show to abide by all the social norms and stuff. That's like living in denial, you and the society around you itself is flawed as heck but you want same goody two shoes characters.
The show was never politically right!! It just portrays the character as is. If u want take away the fun of showing complex characters on screen, GOD Bless the film industry in this country. It was a fun watching experience.
I enjoyed the show and loved the fact that madhvan's character was put in his place so many times in the show. Unlike most Bollywood movies which either ignores or applaudes the toxicity of male lead characters
I liked the show.. Audience have to be open for all types of creativity.. I found R Madhavan's role hilarious than horrible..and I just loved Surveen, such an underrated actor..but the show doesn't deserve second season for sure..it must end here..now if you stretch, it's gonna be a mess
I liked this show it’s fun and straight forward…R Mahadevan’s character is something that most us think but no one wants to talk directly and when u do u know what happens…good one like to watch such shows which are different and it’s nice to watch such web series at times 😀
Frankly , I really enjoyed the show . But I do agree with the fact that it's humour is not everyone's cup of tea . People are ought to get offended by it . But the main characters acting for top notch ❤
I am huge fan of Curb your enthusiasm and Larry David. Having said that the show too has pretty dark and cringe moments that can make anyone a little uncomfortable. but that's just life. So Decoupled has been really impressive and I don't understand why people deemed it as unfunny. I guess its more of acquired taste in comedy. I absolutely loved the show and the overall feel and direction. Definitely a breath of fresh air.
Not everyone's cup of tea 🍵, dark humour, mix of inteligent writing and subtle way to highlight concern in society. It could have been better executived but found something fresh. Californation was way to madhouse 👍
Was just updating my comment in the previous video's comment section, and here it is!🥳🥳🥳 PS: Now that I watched the whole video, Jammy proved exactly why I have faith in him. He puts things into such a brilliant perspective, you can't help but see the point. There were a few nuances I missed because of my discomfort making me skip certain moments, but Jammy never misses a beat. And that's what we're here for!🤭
There was absolutely nothing wrong with the show. If there is a flaw, there is a flaw. If Indian society is still obsessed with the fair skin, that's there, showing in a series doesn't deliberately does not mean it is promoting this obsession rather it is a slap on the face of this kind of thinking. Guruji's introduction scene was way too dramatic and puky, and that's the only thing I didn't like about this show. Other than that everything was spot on. Hope to see similar content on OTT without too much of unnecessary skin show.
Spot on. Don't know why Jammy had a problem with series portraying the fair skin obsession and other questionable stuff, when it's the very much reality we live in! Obviously not condoning anything( if one can think for himself/ herself, that is) but what is the problem in portrayal of reality?
@@naveensharma99 After watching a lot of his content I am starting to think that Jammy is low key woke. While I do enjoy and agree with many of his reviews however I think that he sometimes over analyze things and some of his social commentaries about movies and shows just doesn't resonate with me.
I am just happy that the show like this exists in indian web series arena. I don't want indian web series to get saturated with crime drama and soft porns.
Finally someone showed how the human being have to be on some point they just exaggerate sometimes. I love this show i recommend everyone to watch this.
Its imperfect! Very realistic, we are all superficial and this show was done very well. Our society is constantly in a flux of change, and hopefully if it is for better then similar series in the future will simply reflect that.. For now this was fab
My notion of extras was not about Mir Afsar Ali but the characters like the domestic helps, the neighbors and the fans that approached Arya. Other than Surveen's parents and driver (supporting cast) the extras were a sore to the eye. This does not include Mir Afsar Ali whom I felt just was reduced to a caricature (annoying neighbor).
"Legend" and "Epic"are two words that are thrown away too freely on the internet nowadays. So much so that these words have lost their gravitas. So please use these words sparingly or else they might lose their meaning forever.
@@joshansharma4244 Yes, 100% agreed with what you said. But, if you know about the individual being talked about here, Mir Afsar Ali, and even a little bit about his career and acting chops - you'd probably agree that he's pretty damn epic in himself.
I wish they could make a show like curb your enthusiasm; it has so many universal themes! Will watch Decoupled based on this review, seems like an interesting concept
I wonder, do people really have their own opinions, or do they hide it when they see themselves as minority, or are our opinions affected by how the 'critics' critique the show. I have seen multiple 'critique channels' and the comments usually fawn over the opinions of the creator. Nonetheless, I think Decoupled seems like a good attempt.
They hide it. We hide it. Sometimes I fantasize venting out real feelings and calling out foolishness, contradictions, biases and prejudices. sigh . Hope the day comes soon
I was desperately waiting for review for this show. After first episode, I couldn't stop till it's last episode's cliffhanger. Though it's close to reality of society, I am surprised to see all negativity around it. I agree with this review 100%. Loved it Jammy. ❤️
@@virambharvad8059 sir ..I was talking abt fallen out of love with your partner but staying in marriage for sake of child.. Not everything going to match.
I finished this series yesterday, and I laughed out loud at various moments. Yes, there are instances where you feel the portrayal of the social dynamics was exaggerated or was insulting towards a particular section. Still, apart from that, this is the first time where I loved flawed characters. I might disagree with the point of falling out of love and living under the same roof. However, I understand that every show won't match our beliefs, and this should not stop us from looking at the positive things.
Loved the show. Watched it at one go. Pointing out what’s wrong in our society in such a way is awesome. Loved the openness in the marriage around divorce.
The +ves for me are the irony, sarcasm, perspective, karma etc, I am not looking for advise on how to live life from this, so I look forward to the season 2. Kudos to the leads and the supporting characters, and all the techicians behind the scenes. Thanks for a refreshing perspective.
Loved it, as you said it's refreshing.... Uncomfortable things like women size, color, wife battering may have been dealt better, but it's more from a flawed character perspective..... It appears very real, they way majority of people actually think..
This show was definitely written by someone from an older generation who saw a few twitter trends but is mostly disconnected from mainstream generational niches that being said, this show was extremely entertaining, it didn’t have a single dull moment, it hit it right out the park, arya’s commentary was spot on and authentic and the show has the potential to be a long running sitcom. We need to stop taking things so seriously and stop holding everything to the twitter standard of virtue signaling. At this point we it seems we need a Bechdel test equivalent of twitter’s virtue signaling where each and every character has to be as obnoxiously caricaturous to fulfill their idea of “appropriate”
"Disconnected from mainstream generational niches" Are you connected to the mainstream generational niches?? Incidents like Gurgaon namaz are a story of every other city in India and you say that the writer is from some "Older" generation who saw a few Twitter trends???
i absolutely loved this show. i agreed with arya in quite a lot of scenes and understood where he's coming from. the characters were differrent far from "perfect" and i loved it.
It's a different kinda show and I know that the people of India will easily get offended because they're wired like that. I believe that the content is pure gem and I'll appreciate the creator to come up with more like this
I think we should not be offended by the character or a scene in any movie or series, we should be educated enough to absorb or let go which doesn't fit real life and have the creators the artistic freedom they need to express, just my opinion
I toh loved it. I am unaware about the back lashing coz not on any social media platforms. Therefore thoroughly enjoyed it. Was waiting for your review
This show depicts real characters that one finds in reality. It's honest and so refreshing to see. Most character traits are not movie/series worthy as they don't meet the criteria for what we've seen over the years...and that's what makes it a really good watch.
Madhavan and Chethan Bhagath scenes were really hilarious. Overall the series was a good attempt n divorce taken in a positive manner was indeed a daring move.
Loved the show actually for its genre. The people having problems with the jokes presented here are the same people that enjoyed the awkward, cringy and uncomfortable stuff said my Steve Carrell in famous show THE OFFICE. People need to understand that the character shown in Madhavan is exactly why he lands himself to trouble. We cannot be morally correct when it comes to movies or shows in general because the purpose of movies are not to provide a social message everytime.
Absolutely loved the show...this was an extremely realistic portrayal of a person...not always good or bad but various shades .... The characters were not evil or malicious, just realistic normal people ...also the show was extremely funny that was the main part...it actually was very funny...
Well, well, well! I was waiting for your review, eagerly. After finishing the first season of Decoupled. I actually liked it.. It seems very honest. Madhavan did an amazing job and Surveen she is so good. Definitely happy for her.
I watched it with my mom dad. Thought they might not like it. But they had the loudest laugh. Apparently our family digs stories like Decoupled. I guess in a funny way it addresses the mundane challenges a marriage brings. And I love how characters are assholes just like every human. Unapologetic and very self aware show👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I thought it was an intelligent series which show cases characters who have compulsive nature (not much investment in their life to understand action and reaction) and have to deal with social media and speudo feminists like Mr.Basu. Because its an original attempt by Indian to show a relationship I apreciate it, however the POV is only from Male character. There were many unanswered questions on why shruthi and Arya split, she seemed like a sensible girl who wouldn't dump her husband just for his social behaviour.
I loved this one...Jammy being really honest I generally don't ever write comments on any posts.. but I seriously liked this one...not denying that there weren't faults ...but some of the very serious points have been catered to audience with hillarious touch...I liked this piece
Every time madhavan was in frame I was scared of any coming awkward situation. I remember skipping a few seconds , but such people do exist one example is my mother hats off to my late father how he handled her,
So i am gonna say it out loud 'I loved the show' it breathes sort of a fresh air over the current indian content on otts which is either a gangster saga or rom com or some other thing of that sort , I grew up watching characters like gregory house or charlie harper or even robert california who reek of narcissism and madhavans depiction of a narcissistic misanthrope though if not spot on is a step in right direction, moreover the chemistry between the 2 characters is something we love ,they respect each other in their private space but still cant bear each others conundrums, the best is the fact that how out of touch the higher strata of society is from the plight of the poor but yet we showcase ourselves caring about them via bullshit art makes me wonder if our pity nothing but a tool to provide us with a false sense of grandeur as the protagonist indicates we are sadists, however the bits between agni and arya in the initial episodes do seem stretched out and at times way too strong but come on everything has its flaws
I just don’t understand movie critics anymore.people forget the fact that whole purpose of movie/webseries is entertainment not to be preachy about social issues.i find this series hilarious but politically incorrect so i am assuming that’s why most of the critics don’t like it.
I watched it, it's about how much iq and wisdom where the character of madhavan's is in all the alpha males specifically gentleman's... More ever in my perspective.. It's a well created and I enjoyed the updated version of present family.... How the intelligent people and parents handling the situations... Double standards.... When it comes to woman decisions...
My husband and I really loved the show. I started watching it only for R Madhavan but ended up having so much fun. It was something different from the usual crap. And the best part is that writer didn’t try to glorify Arya’s toxic personality. Surveen has done a great job too 🙌🏻 People have issues with every damn thing nowadays 🙄 Definitely looking forward for Season 2 ❤️
Anna akhanda movie chuste em undi ani antaru. anthe. oka reviewer point of view nunchi chuste its a very average movie. balayya babu oka emotion. objective ga judge cheyyalem
I think the problem is that problematic CIS-Het Savarna Men are given a free pass to be ‘human’ and ‘complex’, others are not. Before anyone says ‘But look at xyz….’: We have come far and done brilliantly but we need to raise the bar and not lower it.
So basically what you mean to say is that we also need other types of people( women, lgbt community etc.) to be also portrayed as complex characters with flaws not just some goody two shoes. Maybe we will in future, atleast I hope so. Flaws and complexity shouldn't be exclusive to some particular types of characters.
This is a daring attempt by Manu Joseph, always loved his writing, this show is devoid of political correctness and I love that. Its a must watch. But for our woke crowd, don't watch it and don't cancel Manu.

@@theodoretwombly154 yup but still
@ who are you to judge right or wrong? Who gave you the right to decide that?
I loved it. Showed the hypocrisy of both the woke liberals and the conservatives at the same time. Excellent writing. Never imagined I'll see an indian show like this. Manu joseph is a genius.
I agree. This show is surprisingly well balanced.
@ Arya the character played by Madhavan doesn't have a son. So what the hell are you talking about???
@ it showed the hypocrisy of Conservatives as the same people that are praising the namaaz scene were outraged at Tandav and CarryMinati
@ what did CarryMinati do?
@ but you celebrate it in this film 😂 this is the hypocrisy I talked about
Wife and I laughed for 5 mins for the car security checking scene. We had spoken about it in similar lines and it was so accurate.
I watched this show in one go and have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the writing. I can acknowledge that there are some flawed scenes that did not land well, but most of it was much better than the standard fare we get. Especially loved the dynamic shared between Surveen Chawla and Madhavan. I recall starting the show with the impression of Madhavan's character as being irredeemable, but by the end you also understand that the man is not wrong in his observations (mostly). Also it was nice to see any character get their comeuppance in the most hilarious of ways.
I absolutely loved this series, It sheds light on so many things people don't even talk about. It points out so many issues which we live by daily and double standard of people!
I liked how they addressed class conflict.
Off the topic, I'm liking the fact that many of our comments are edited, I think this is the first step towards getting self-aware, reflecting on what you are expressing, before or after expressing it. I am also liking that people are commenting carefully, rather than just picking a side because you are expected to. All thanks to you Jammy, yet to watch the show, after watching this review, I am excited to watch it now :)

@@RohanSingh-ub1nr I myself laughed out for this reply 😂
Please do watch.
This show is a Gem.
Every episode is a masterpiece
@@theodoretwombly154 sure 😄
I simply loved Decoupled, some of the jokes were hilarious. The way the ended the season, can't wait for season 2. Maddy & Suvreen ❤️
There is a big difference between a show normalizing and glorifying wrong things( like fairness obsession, domestic violence etc.) and the characters in it doing such things.
Don't know why the Twitter gang wants every main character in a show to abide by all the social norms and stuff. That's like living in denial, you and the society around you itself is flawed as heck but you want same goody two shoes characters.
This is one of those Indian ott shows which is actually good... Much much better than other overly hyped ott shows like sacred games and others
The show was never politically right!! It just portrays the character as is. If u want take away the fun of showing complex characters on screen, GOD Bless the film industry in this country. It was a fun watching experience.
God is blessing this film industry 99% of the times since the beginning.

massive social media outrage???????? i only saw 100 tweets related to decouple...sometimes youtuber also act like news channel
I didnt knew until i saw this video's thumbnail 😂
I didn't even knew this show existed
I enjoyed the show and loved the fact that madhvan's character was put in his place so many times in the show. Unlike most Bollywood movies which either ignores or applaudes the toxicity of male lead characters
I liked the show.. Audience have to be open for all types of creativity.. I found R Madhavan's role hilarious than horrible..and I just loved Surveen, such an underrated actor..but the show doesn't deserve second season for sure..it must end here..now if you stretch, it's gonna be a mess
Not really evil is evil
Naa i guess it will open more layers excited for the next season..
I liked this show it’s fun and straight forward…R Mahadevan’s character is something that most us think but no one wants to talk directly and when u do u know what happens…good one like to watch such shows which are different and it’s nice to watch such web series at times 😀
Frankly , I really enjoyed the show . But I do agree with the fact that it's humour is not everyone's cup of tea . People are ought to get offended by it . But the main characters acting for top notch ❤
I am huge fan of Curb your enthusiasm and Larry David. Having said that the show too has pretty dark and cringe moments that can make anyone a little uncomfortable. but that's just life. So Decoupled has been really impressive and I don't understand why people deemed it as unfunny. I guess its more of acquired taste in comedy. I absolutely loved the show and the overall feel and direction. Definitely a breath of fresh air.
Not everyone's cup of tea 🍵, dark humour, mix of inteligent writing and subtle way to highlight concern in society. It could have been better executived but found something fresh. Californation was way to madhouse 👍
Was just updating my comment in the previous video's comment section, and here it is!🥳🥳🥳
PS: Now that I watched the whole video, Jammy proved exactly why I have faith in him. He puts things into such a brilliant perspective, you can't help but see the point. There were a few nuances I missed because of my discomfort making me skip certain moments, but Jammy never misses a beat. And that's what we're here for!🤭
There was absolutely nothing wrong with the show. If there is a flaw, there is a flaw. If Indian society is still obsessed with the fair skin, that's there, showing in a series doesn't deliberately does not mean it is promoting this obsession rather it is a slap on the face of this kind of thinking. Guruji's introduction scene was way too dramatic and puky, and that's the only thing I didn't like about this show. Other than that everything was spot on. Hope to see similar content on OTT without too much of unnecessary skin show.
Spot on. Don't know why Jammy had a problem with series portraying the fair skin obsession and other questionable stuff, when it's the very much reality we live in!
Obviously not condoning anything( if one can think for himself/ herself, that is) but what is the problem in portrayal of reality?
I agree! Getting orgasm while excersing was so ott😂
But giving moral touch in the end is right and everything must, even kabir singh like stuff career fail nhi chalta but tyranny bhi nhi tolerate hoti
@@naveensharma99 After watching a lot of his content I am starting to think that Jammy is low key woke. While I do enjoy and agree with many of his reviews however I think that he sometimes over analyze things and some of his social commentaries about movies and shows just doesn't resonate with me.
45,000 views in less than 2 hours!! This shows how people await a genuine and crisp review by Tried & Refused Productions!! Take A Bow Anmol & TRP!
I am just happy that the show like this exists in indian web series arena. I don't want indian web series to get saturated with crime drama and soft porns.
Absolutely brilliant show... Loved it...
can’t wait for series2
Obvi we are still not ready to accept shows like these..But a great series by maddy and surveen nonetheless!!
Finally someone showed how the human being have to be on some point they just exaggerate sometimes. I love this show i recommend everyone to watch this.
Its imperfect! Very realistic, we are all superficial and this show was done very well. Our society is constantly in a flux of change, and hopefully if it is for better then similar series in the future will simply reflect that.. For now this was fab
Which basically means normalise evil
@ no it means recognize that there is evil
Don't pretend that it doesn't exist
It won't go away like that
Yesterday I watched this series and God I was thinking why you haven't put up a review yet!I laughed so much in a few scenes..It is worth a watch!
You liked it or...?
But you can't just term Mir Afsar Ali as just an extra. He is a legend of his own repute.
My notion of extras was not about Mir Afsar Ali but the characters like the domestic helps, the neighbors and the fans that approached Arya. Other than Surveen's parents and driver (supporting cast) the extras were a sore to the eye. This does not include Mir Afsar Ali whom I felt just was reduced to a caricature (annoying neighbor).
"Legend" and "Epic"are two words that are thrown away too freely on the internet nowadays. So much so that these words have lost their gravitas. So please use these words sparingly or else they might lose their meaning forever.
@@joshansharma4244 Yes, 100% agreed with what you said. But, if you know about the individual being talked about here, Mir Afsar Ali, and even a little bit about his career and acting chops - you'd probably agree that he's pretty damn epic in himself.
I wish they could make a show like curb your enthusiasm; it has so many universal themes!
Will watch Decoupled based on this review, seems like an interesting concept
I wonder, do people really have their own opinions, or do they hide it when they see themselves as minority, or are our opinions affected by how the 'critics' critique the show. I have seen multiple 'critique channels' and the comments usually fawn over the opinions of the creator. Nonetheless, I think Decoupled seems like a good attempt.
They hide it. We hide it. Sometimes I fantasize venting out real feelings and calling out foolishness, contradictions, biases and prejudices. sigh . Hope the day comes soon
I really loved the show especially the awkward moments. R. madhavan killed it.
I was desperately waiting for review for this show. After first episode, I couldn't stop till it's last episode's cliffhanger. Though it's close to reality of society, I am surprised to see all negativity around it. I agree with this review 100%. Loved it Jammy. ❤️
Close to the reality???Aise couples aur aisi situation kis society me hoti hai.Indian society me to nahi hoti at least
@@virambharvad8059 sir ..I was talking abt fallen out of love with your partner but staying in marriage for sake of child.. Not everything going to match.
I finished this series yesterday, and I laughed out loud at various moments. Yes, there are instances where you feel the portrayal of the social dynamics was exaggerated or was insulting towards a particular section. Still, apart from that, this is the first time where I loved flawed characters. I might disagree with the point of falling out of love and living under the same roof. However, I understand that every show won't match our beliefs, and this should not stop us from looking at the positive things.
The Bengali Comedian Mir deserves much better content to star in. He’s much more than a glorified extra.
Yeah saw him many years back in The great Indian Laughter Challenge...
He's cringeworthy. Awfully repetitive third grade humour
@@aritraroy2701 ummm sometimes but he's good in non comedic roles, which he doesn't play often.
@@randomlyswatching9481 Agree. His "comedy" is repetitive and tiring at this point.
@@aritraroy2701 he should do serious roles. He's good in them as i have seen
Loved the show. Watched it at one go. Pointing out what’s wrong in our society in such a way is awesome. Loved the openness in the marriage around divorce.
Despite of negative reviews from many reviewers I dared to have a look. And seriously I enjoyed it 🤩🤩
The +ves for me are the irony, sarcasm, perspective, karma etc, I am not looking for advise on how to live life from this, so I look forward to the season 2. Kudos to the leads and the supporting characters, and all the techicians behind the scenes. Thanks for a refreshing perspective.
I finished entire season in one weekend. Couldn't stay away....
I loved it. It was in fact much better than I expected.
Loved it, as you said it's refreshing.... Uncomfortable things like women size, color, wife battering may have been dealt better, but it's more from a flawed character perspective..... It appears very real, they way majority of people actually think..
No one is perfect. I really like the way the characters are portrayed.... with flaws.
This show was definitely written by someone from an older generation who saw a few twitter trends but is mostly disconnected from mainstream generational niches that being said, this show was extremely entertaining, it didn’t have a single dull moment, it hit it right out the park, arya’s commentary was spot on and authentic and the show has the potential to be a long running sitcom. We need to stop taking things so seriously and stop holding everything to the twitter standard of virtue signaling. At this point we it seems we need a Bechdel test equivalent of twitter’s virtue signaling where each and every character has to be as obnoxiously caricaturous to fulfill their idea of “appropriate”
"Disconnected from mainstream generational niches"
Are you connected to the mainstream generational niches?? Incidents like Gurgaon namaz are a story of every other city in India and you say that the writer is from some "Older" generation who saw a few Twitter trends???
@@docno1117 lol
Gurgaon incident: twitter trend
Not realizing big butts are a beauty standard: disconnection
This show reminds me of curb your enthusiasm. Thoroughly enjoyed R Madhavans performance
i absolutely loved this show. i agreed with arya in quite a lot of scenes and understood where he's coming from. the characters were differrent far from "perfect" and i loved it.
I can’t believe this is the same guy in tanu weds Manu - now that’s what you call an actor 🤗
Mismatched. Decoupled. What's next? Deranged?
lol
Needs to be watched..
Really enjoyed watching 👀 it as it covers many issues needed to be improved in our society.
The humour in this is an acquired taste. I loved it because for me everything is fair game when it comes to humour
It's a different kinda show and I know that the people of India will easily get offended because they're wired like that. I believe that the content is pure gem and I'll appreciate the creator to come up with more like this
I think we should not be offended by the character or a scene in any movie or series, we should be educated enough to absorb or let go which doesn't fit real life and have the creators the artistic freedom they need to express, just my opinion
Yeah. But sadly people are snowflakes now a days
Yea but everyones a snowflake nowadays
@@Lazymath007_ including this RUclipser himself.
I toh loved it. I am unaware about the back lashing coz not on any social media platforms. Therefore thoroughly enjoyed it. Was waiting for your review
Hey, I have liked R Madhavan in pretty much everything so far. Looks like its worth a watch, with my not yet divorced husband then 😃😃
Finally someone, someone who really understood this no doubt why i have subscribed you
Heyyy.... I really enjoyed Chetan Bhagat ok, it was so nice to see him do a caricaturish role
His role is funny from a meta perspective, I just meant to talk about his ability as an actor
@@TriedRefusedProductions I don't know maybe I was too blinded by the excitement 😀😀
Lust loved it... completely new n fresh as an Indian webseries content....Its 2022...hope we can see more such movies or webseries..
I see the notification and I click knowing I won't be disappointed by Jammy's content❤
Yeah me too buddy
This show depicts real characters that one finds in reality. It's honest and so refreshing to see. Most character traits are not movie/series worthy as they don't meet the criteria for what we've seen over the years...and that's what makes it a really good watch.
Madhavan and Chethan Bhagath scenes were really hilarious. Overall the series was a good attempt n divorce taken in a positive manner was indeed a daring move.
Loved the show actually for its genre. The people having problems with the jokes presented here are the same people that enjoyed the awkward, cringy and uncomfortable stuff said my Steve Carrell in famous show THE OFFICE. People need to understand that the character shown in Madhavan is exactly why he lands himself to trouble. We cannot be morally correct when it comes to movies or shows in general because the purpose of movies are not to provide a social message everytime.
Absolutely loved the show...this was an extremely realistic portrayal of a person...not always good or bad but various shades .... The characters were not evil or malicious, just realistic normal people ...also the show was extremely funny that was the main part...it actually was very funny...
This is rare to come by. Great series with a very receptive audience.
I found how they beat up every side of the spectrum absolutely flawless.... It was soo genuine!
Well, well, well! I was waiting for your review, eagerly. After finishing the first season of Decoupled. I actually liked it.. It seems very honest. Madhavan did an amazing job and Surveen she is so good. Definitely happy for her.
This show is one of a kind . Absolutely hilarious writing . finally something different to watch on ott
I watched it with my mom dad. Thought they might not like it. But they had the loudest laugh. Apparently our family digs stories like Decoupled. I guess in a funny way it addresses the mundane challenges a marriage brings. And I love how characters are assholes just like every human. Unapologetic and very self aware show👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
The first and probably the only review to have deconstructed this series ,without bias, for what it actually is.Spot on ,Jammy!
I thought it was an intelligent series which show cases characters who have compulsive nature (not much investment in their life to understand action and reaction) and have to deal with social media and speudo feminists like Mr.Basu. Because its an original attempt by Indian to show a relationship I apreciate it, however the POV is only from Male character. There were many unanswered questions on why shruthi and Arya split, she seemed like a sensible girl who wouldn't dump her husband just for his social behaviour.
Loved to see maddy's character....i love the webseries.. thankyou for the attempt .
i loved it..hard a hard time laughing.. Madhvan n Suvreen were so good...didnt think anything wrong in it
I loved this one...Jammy being really honest I generally don't ever write comments on any posts.. but I seriously liked this one...not denying that there weren't faults ...but some of the very serious points have been catered to audience with hillarious touch...I liked this piece
Dude I really enjoyed the show because of the characters.
Every time madhavan was in frame I was scared of any coming awkward situation. I remember skipping a few seconds , but such people do exist one example is my mother hats off to my late father how he handled her,
It's a breath of fresh air, loved the series.
Omg!Both me & my husband felt it had such a ‘curb your enthusiasm’ vibe.Thank you for validating that.Loved the show!!
So i am gonna say it out loud 'I loved the show' it breathes sort of a fresh air over the current indian content on otts which is either a gangster saga or rom com or some other thing of that sort , I grew up watching characters like gregory house or charlie harper or even robert california who reek of narcissism and madhavans depiction of a narcissistic misanthrope though if not spot on is a step in right direction, moreover the chemistry between the 2 characters is something we love ,they respect each other in their private space but still cant bear each others conundrums, the best is the fact that how out of touch the higher strata of society is from the plight of the poor but yet we showcase ourselves caring about them via bullshit art makes me wonder if our pity nothing but a tool to provide us with a false sense of grandeur as the protagonist indicates we are sadists, however the bits between agni and arya in the initial episodes do seem stretched out and at times way too strong but come on everything has its flaws
I love the show. Such intellectual dialogues and excellence delivery by both lead actors. SC look a like Aishwariya Rai. Just loved you all.
So in india we can only have 2 types of series. Violent & disturbing crime dramas or liberal & woke karen dramas
I just don’t understand movie critics anymore.people forget the fact that whole purpose of movie/webseries is entertainment not to be preachy about social issues.i find this series hilarious but politically incorrect so i am assuming that’s why most of the critics don’t like it.
In simple words most Indian audience is not ready for this series
From the comments, the audience seems to have loved it.
I just loved it... one mention of actor Mukesh Bhatt an driver was also good...
I watched it, it's about how much iq and wisdom where the character of madhavan's is in all the alpha males specifically gentleman's... More ever in my perspective.. It's a well created and I enjoyed the updated version of present family.... How the intelligent people and parents handling the situations... Double standards.... When it comes to woman decisions...
One of the most enjoyable series of 2021
Major problem is that conservative People really expect moral science lectures from movies/web series.
Pretty sure it's the same for the "woke" people..
I agree. But they are gonna get criticism for glorifying toxic things.
Prateek Borade bhau.......

My husband and I really loved the show.
I started watching it only for R Madhavan but ended up having so much fun. It was something different from the usual crap. And the best part is that writer didn’t try to glorify Arya’s toxic personality. Surveen has done a great job too 🙌🏻
People have issues with every damn thing nowadays 🙄
Definitely looking forward for Season 2 ❤️
I want to you do review of AKHANDA movie , Goosebumps stuff in the second half , music ,bgm , mainly AGHORA character
Anna akhanda movie chuste em undi ani antaru. anthe. oka reviewer point of view nunchi chuste its a very average movie. balayya babu oka emotion. objective ga judge cheyyalem
It's a average movie
I walked out of the theatre.
Odhu ayya. Goosebumps kaadhu "Matlab kuch bhi" episode ki stuff dorkutundi
Your videos is like mediation for me. If I don't pay attention I won't understand because of the heavy words you use 😅
Btw you're doing a great job!
I think the problem is that problematic CIS-Het Savarna Men are given a free pass to be ‘human’ and ‘complex’, others are not. Before anyone says ‘But look at xyz….’: We have come far and done brilliantly but we need to raise the bar and not lower it.
Woke snowflake detected 🤣
So basically what you mean to say is that we also need other types of people( women, lgbt community etc.) to be also portrayed as complex characters with flaws not just some goody two shoes.
Maybe we will in future, atleast I hope so. Flaws and complexity shouldn't be exclusive to some particular types of characters.
Thank God someone point out it's similarities with Curb your enthusiasm ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is a daring attempt by Manu Joseph, always loved his writing, this show is devoid of political correctness and I love that. Its a must watch.
But for our woke crowd, don't watch it and don't cancel Manu.
I really tried to like it, but objectifying women like that didnt come across as funny, maybe it is meant for people in the higher age groups.
I loved it completely!
