There are so many stellar OTT projects that I couldn't bear Emily In Paris for more than 1 episode. I just didn't care for the character or storyline. After Asur, She, Railway Men, Kaala Paani, Narcos, Squid Game, Money Heist, City of Dreams...I was like: yaar yeh kya hai?
@@preetiraut7700 This is what the issue is. They don't make just strong charcters. They make strong characters keeping men in mind or by keeping in mind general fantasy of men.
@@preetiraut7700 that's when you get characters whose only personality is taking their shirts off and bulging their muscles when they fight. A strong character can have strong masculine or feminine traits but they're neither guided nor defined by it.

@@raja-jl9os No, infact his film Wake up Sid is also relevant, because it was directed by Ayan Mukerji. Films like Dil Chahta hai, Wake up Sid, ZNMD are all relevant.
@@raja-jl9os Yes they are. I mean if you look at the first installment of ishq vishk, versus the one that came out now, the 2nd one paled in comparison to the first one. Karan Johar, or Nepo Johar, is a expert at making these films.
It' wasn't made by youngsters. It was made for youngsters and everyone above them while being true to the essence of youth freedom friendship and comradeship and some smart writing what made it relevant was the relatablity.
@@SchoolOfUnlearning3 Why only girls? Boys are same as well. In my experience those who are well off from generations have grounded behavior.

@@sumedhachaudhary3628 not for you better than though intellectual miss. I have many friends from top universities watching and liking the show. It's just a pass time show, not everything needs to be mentally stimulating. Why not all of us just watch documentaries at this point
“I live in Germany, and some of my German friends watched ‘Call Me Bae’ because someone recommended it to them as an introduction to Indian cinema. The amount of negative opinions they have formed about our industry after watching this is disheartening, as there are many more well-written series and movies they could have started with. Now, I am making them watch your review so they understand that this is not the only representation of our industry. Thanks for your appropriate analysis.”
Ananya Panday is in her 2014-2017 Varun Dhawan era where she's constantly playing herself in every project, hoping that the audiences will lap it up every single time. The audiences will eventually disconnect, and that's what happened with his films in 2020. Let's see what the Vikramaditya Motwane project has in store.
I always found Varun a fine actor , ofc not some great talent but I always felt the Varun hate was so forced. He was always better than his contemporaries Siddhart , Arjun etc.
@@PrinceK-dm3xs Apart from a few movies (Badlapur, Bhediya afaik) VD always plays himself! The free spirited guy who flirts and smirks his days away. What fine actor?
I have always failed to understand why cheating on partners is being shown in a humourous way! It is not a joke in any way. How can such a demeaning role of females be empowering. How can having sex with a random person make u feel good after a fight/insult? And how can women shown in such a light expect people to take them seriously when they demand respect and individuality... 🤷🏻♀️
It’s about agency. Woman having the freedom to live there lives the way they want and not be judged for it. The fact that u r doing it shows we aren’t past womans dignity lies in her sexuality bit. Trust me nobody judges men.
Honestly i liked it, it was fun and light hearted show. for some months i was watching dark theme shows and honestly call me bae was nice fresh spin. Like its not even cringe, but yeah humour can be different for everyone. But i do wanna know like what was bad in that show.
Lil bro, call me bae is the epitome of cringe. Don't even get me started. Obviously I am not going to have a keyboard war with you or anyone. But I simply disliked this shitshow.
I agree with this, honestly call me bae was a good refreshing watch, and yes not all people share the same humor so it's completely fine if not everyone likes it but just because you don't, stop calling it a shitshow
Anmol, this was the first time I heard you not just unhappy with a show and its makers but extremely frustrated and disappointed with the low standards of an industry you are so emotionally invested in. I feel for you!
Call me bae is just fun series,Ananya did a fair job !! At least unlike animal where the movie had only violence no cinematic experience and now that’s a brain shut movie which totally made no sense
@@prajaktadande7053Konsa success.... Tum isse success kehte ho 😂..... Itni bakwaas content ko bhi defend kar kare ho ...... Itni taste kharab ho gayi ?
Another point that woman marry for money is actually now being legitimised by this nonsense series like there is already shade thrown on lesser sex now it's being plastered as YES they do type.
I also thought the same. The character was really similar to Caroline from Two broke girls and Alexis from Schitts Creek. In some scenes you can clearly see Ananya copying Alexis.
For the first time ever, I am not in agreement with TRP's review of a show! I really liked this show purely coz it was very light headed, stress free, good looking and blingy on screen and just fun to watch. Ananya has improved over a period of time and an actor must be judged on their acting skills basis their screen presence and not basis whether their acting is really a tough job or not. She played to her strengths and is being liked for it. Unpopular opinion - Only Ananya or may be Alia could have played this role. No one else could. Its ofcourse far from reality, but wasn't that how it was supposed to be. This show was much needed for a weekend binge and it deserves its due :)
Agreed I actually enjoyed it It was not meant to be serious They were laughing on themselves That was the whole purpose of it Being light hearted and I don’t think anyone could’ve done a better job here than AP Sometimes you just want a light binge watch And it solved the purpose You don’t always need heavy drama and suspense I think it was very good
Ikr.. even I enjoyed it.. who cares if it's copied.. this kinda light headed entertainment genre is rare in Indian content.. so it's something new to watch something like that in Hindi.
Ambient viewing would perfectly describe what I thought of call me bae. Good white noise while getting some work done on my laptop. I didn't mind it actually. Was quite relaxed and even fun in parts. Music was fun. Fashion was top notch too.
@@castafioreomg It's not tacky. It's just different. Most y'all just lap up pastel lofi stuff and anyone doing extra is immediately tacky. . Honestly it looked great on her , else most series have same regurgitated bland fasion
Everything was so easy for her. Getting an internship, being the girl everyone loves, no remorse over cheating on her husband and in turn making him feel bad about himself, men falling all over her. There was nothing engrossing, substantial or gripping. I was super disappointed with Vir Das; his actual felt unnatural, his dialogues forced, his comic timing off. If well executed, the show could have been a tad better.
Sonam did something like this in Aisha and that was believable! She seems like a legendary actress compared to the recent Nepo brigade. She was gorgeous on screen too
It wasn't bad at all. A little cringe at times but it wasn't supposed to be a soul touching series. It was supposed to be a gen-z kinda parody. And I'm saying this as someone who hasn't watched Emily in paris or something but let's be honest those series were also not the ones that did this first so there isn't a point in comparing
I recently watch the chiyan vikram interview with Beerbicep and it shocked me how much hard work he do for one role like he eat breath sleep acting and these new generation in Bollywood getting opportunity one by one and then explaining how much insight they give to these roles. Also I seriously don't understand why Karan johar casting ananya again and again. I mean just because the story revolve around a rich person, doesn't mean it requires star kids, the story is it's self bad and copied from different stories. I mean Karan is a smart producer why on earth you make something like this just because in Hollywood this type of shows work
I like how she doesn't really gets affected by all the trolling she gets. She gets hate left right and centre, people abuse her, cuss her, cyber assualt her but she takes it positively which is a good thing because this mucthate is enough for anyone to destroy their mental health.
@@PrinceK-dm3xs she is h8d for valid reasons tho... 1) substandard acting 2) substandard scripts selection 3) substandard origin( not self made ) 4) many ( seemingly endless ) chances to improve yet no change.... She better suffer trolling given all this.... audiences can't forcefully stop the nepo babies from getting work... but they can do their little bit by trolling, spreading negative opinion( well deserved usually )...
@@TriedRefusedProductionsthey aren’t pulling you either way. Even one person will watch such series or movies like call me bae, they would keep on making this. They have like andha paisa.
Looking at the teaser of Call Me Bae, I initially thought Ananya Pandey will be playing a girl from South Bombay. Because South Delhi people DO NOT behave the way she does.
@@TriedRefusedProductions i think she got that and was just making general statement? (love your content though, man. even if i never end up watching most shows and films you talk about)
She won't so forget about . She is a lovable pretty airhead and self realization will really come when any of her 3 traits are gone. So do you see any of them going away in the next 5 years
I personally liked this show. It wasn't preachy ifykwim, the fashion was nice, the actors did a good job, and it was just a silly weekend binge show and I believe that not everything has to be serious.
Karan Johar is completely out of touch with reality. He praises Stree 2 and Maddock, but learns nothing from them.. crazy to think this man made Kuchh Kuchh Hota Hai and Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham once upon a time. How time changes.
@TriedRefusedProductions They are trying to copy Amitabh Bachchan's 'Angry Young Man' persona with a female protagonist... might work for Gen Z who never saw Zanjeer, Deewar, Trishul..
@@AnkitGupta-u1n Well when the likes of Tollywood are still using the angry young man template for their mass cinema and it's still working so nothing wrong with the troupe as long as it's executed perfectly.
@@chandranakash02 But at some point it will saturate. Can't keep on doing same thing for too long especially for bollywood audience. Even after early 80s failure of those angry, revenge, khoon type movies caused the decline of bollywood and then came Maine Pyar Kiya, QSQT, DDLJ to revive. Already KGF, Jawan, Leo, RRR, Pushpa, Gadar 2 etc are saturating this massy genre so it will soon stop working.
I'm from the pre-Facebook generation and I still liked watching this, even though I'm don't really follow the social media lingo, it's light hearted, we see realities everyday why not escape and chill
8:44 Fashion was NOT the plus point in Emily in Paris! It was in fact the most criticized work by Patricia Field who's worked on so many good shows including sex and the city. That being said I did vaguely enjoy Call me Bae and the show was exactly what is promised to be -a parody. You don't see accurate representation anywhere because it caters to the audience's vision more. The Khan market gags and the superficial outlook on South Delhi works because that's how we outsiders view it. I know the show wasn't all that but it was fun. Me and my girlfriends had a great time
@@high_on_mirinda fasion was good in Emily in Paris. Only issue was it was not realistic i.e the price of her cloths and her apartment where poles apart
i miss those old bollywood movies that made us laugh without even trying so hard on production and budget and stll managed to become our favorite movies from childhood💝❣,i have not watched a good bollywood movie for ages at this point i just give up
This dude literally took the exact words out of my mouth. Wouldn't have put it any other way. This is precisely my big fat gripe with today's Indian content / "Bollywood". Thanks for articulating it so perfectly! I just hope it reaches the right ears up top!
The comedy movies which is just not using your brain should be at least comedic and enjoyable like Housefull franchise,Tees Maar Khan, Happy New Year and even a Khel khel mein recently. Not a bad writing and calling you should enjoy yaar bs. And yes we only know Jammy pants and not smarty pants.
The Bar is as low as a politician's promise. The fact that even after this Ananya will get a chance again in another movie or series. How many chances does the privileged one get until they realise that they can't do it.
U donot want her to act just cause she’s rich. she probably doesn’t even need to work for money. She does it cause she’s passionate about something in her life which is better than staying at home and doing nothing. She ll always get something cause the industry is a business and she’s good looking. If people think Bollywood /Hollywood are places where the most important thing is to create great art then they are delulu.
@@divyasingh9123 movies are art undoubtedly, and those places do give art of course there's bad one's too but to discredit the art is just plain stupid
I usually like your reviews but this time I wondered what went wrong that you hated the show so much. IMO, the show isn't half as bad as what you project it to be in your review / rant. It delivered on what the trailer promised - a light, breezy, fun watch with several funny one-liners and yet you chose to pick & start your review with probably the weakest one-liner of the show involving Smarty Pants. I also thought the styling was fab by Anahita Shroff Adajania and the entire cast especially the girls - Ananya, Niharika, Muskkaan and Lisa Mishra did a fine job.
Women I believe have the potential to be the next female superstars of Hindi cinema after Alia Bhatt (who enjoys the relentless support of powerful lobbies) - Sharvari Wagh and Kriti Sanon (sad that Kriti still hasn't gotten her due). I'd include Sanya Malhotra but she lacks the star charisma (just my opinion), although she is a tremendous talent!
I agree with Sharvari , after watching vedaa and maharaj..she has SO MUCH potential..but not kriti ..the kind of scripts and films she chooses..adipurush..ganpath..🤦to name a few..I dont think so..and I watched couple of her recent interviews..she is completely out of touch..she thinks that bollywood is doing well😂
@@shripadbhagwat6566 it also about how many offers Kirti is getting if you don't have much options then you have to choose what you have unfortunately same happening with Tripti dimri. Jhanvi getting big movies better opportunity then Kirti, Tripti should help you to understand the main issue here.
Yes call me bae handles sensitive topics but it does it sensibly and in a very funny and entertaining way. I loved the show call me bae. You aee just biased against Ananya. And can't see her succeding.
You know I won't want to get serious with each and every film all the time. I mean there are so many reasons for watching a movie for me it's entertainment.
Aisha was a GREAT movie for Sonam Kapoor! We knew Sonam is like that irl, but that movie had a great story..some of us millennials have seen it multiple times lol. Call Me Bae could have been that but it’s just so cringe..and not aligned with gen z at all.
So my opinion may be an unpopular opinion then Because I really enjoyed the show and here are my two cents - For the first time I enjoyed Ananya’s acting, it was the perfect amount of “over the top” - It wasn’t preachy, it was touching on a sensitive topic but thank God it was not preachy. In fact I really enjoyed the final debate between bae and SS. The one liners in the beginning were very basic but Ananya delivered them very well - I am Pakistani, not an Indian so I dont really know a lot about the culture and dynamics of the cities except for the fact that South Dehli is a rich posh place and Mumbai is for hustlers but the references in the show were really interesting and I really wanted to see more of the city dynamics - I am a millennial and not a GenZ and genZ shows annoy the hell out of me but for some reason I did feel connected to the show. For once I wasn’t being told in my face that I am an old person and I dont understand GZ stuff😂 - I loved the entire cast of the show . Every actor fits the character like a glove So may be it could be just me but disagreeing with you here Jammy, the show did leave a really nice impact. I was charged after watching it and that for me is “impact” 😊
You are not alone. My wife and I thought it was a good series. I don’t understand Jammy sometimes. He liked GOAT movie but not this 😂 I actually liked ananyas acting and other cast did amazing job too. Does it have to be close to reality? Which movie or series is? It’s just for entertainment.
I agree as well. I watched it on a day when I was not feeling so good and it cheered me up. I thought it was quite well made for a chick flick kind of series and was fun to watch. May not be everyone's cup of tea especially if you have huge expectations.
@@sanahussainkhan1992 true. jammys reviews are always pretentious. Any light hearted shows esp for women are bad as per him -_- typical Indian pseudo intellectuals who think anything pink and fun is wrong
Look at these genz girls and on the other hand look at what these terrific actors are bringing to the table, kangna in Emergency,Alia in Jigra, kareena in Buckingham murders,whether u like or don’t like these women but one can’t deny the fact they are way ahead of these genz glam dolls.
That is the worst take ever Kareena in her younger years was way worse. The difference is between showcasing actual talent and hardwork vs just shoving an actor that clearly cant act . All of the veteran female actresses because of nepotism were given multiple chances, i mean if i had a million chances i could also learn how to act. Genz actresses from the outside haven’t even gotten a chance yet, even in millenials its only now that we get actors like tripti dimri, sanya Malhotra etc being mainstream
As a gen Z person, I must say that these rich and privileged actors who get roles through nepotism aren't a representation of the actors of our generation. In fact, the actors of our generation haven't even gotten big roles or enough appreciation for their role (some of which were mentioned in this video itself). It's the boomer producers and writers of our country who just take western stereotypes of the younger generations, apply them on Indian girls and women, and expect us to find them relatable.
You are right, there are many things wrong with this show - it does not align with struggles of moving to a new city, entering job market as a beginner (yet alone with no valid credentials but only random short courses), landing your biggest break, finding decent roommates and love interests, and so on and so forth. BUT even as a critic you DO NOT get to decide what kind of content is to be made. Your guilty pleasure may or may not be same as other people. This series is supposed to be a lighthearted fling. Why are you trying to knot it with real life hardships. This show is simply a comic representation of riches to rags and resilience. Take a chill.
He just wants what the majority of cinema/series lovers are looking for which is-- true entertainment and less cringy behavior. People like him are prone to rant these days because we are lowering the bar everytime with giving a lukewarm thumbs up to every shit shown on OTT and theatres. He is not "deciding" anything, he is expressing his rants, which is mentioned clearly in the thumbnail-- RANT.
@@Loveandlight428 whichis wrong because this show was liked by many lol. And a good reviewer do not look for majority. They judge a show based on the bucket it falls under.
There has always been room for improvement ....all of ananya roles in every movies are basically the same . Her expressions are not very "real " like u can tell she is acting . But ..Well whatever . Trust me they just want us to believe that ananya can act . Just trying to lift her reputation or smth . Don't fall it . That sounded funny😂 but nvm .
I thought I was crazy for being infuriated by the overflow of compliments for the show. 😭 and yes.. class/big girls don’t cry are fare more decent shows I enjoyed and are quite relatable.
I do think most of them were fake and planted . I am sure actually. They are trying like hell to sell this as hit but not a single human person I know personally liked this , I mean no one actually completed . Ofc in the internet you cannot believe all the raving to be true
As a South Delhi girl, the depiction is cringe but it is exactly how people make fun of South Delhi ppl. It was honestly a good laugh. People being unaware of their self destructive tendencies for attention seeking is an actual phenomenon. Also unfortunately your criticism for this sounded like Transformers series good but Twilight bad. I didn't like major hits like Animal, RRR and Pushpa but I know people loved them. It's okay!
I surprisingly liked the sereis . It was fun to watch and ananya's acting had improved too. I mean why should we always expect so much from a sereis though it was a bit extra sometimes but i had a great time watching it plus it was engaging
Children from the 90s across South Asia (including Bangladesh) have grown up watching Karan johar movies. Very sad to see how Karan Johar is trying too much to connect to today's audience.
I've never quite understood why people consider Veer Das a good comedian. To me, he seems just below average, and his acting is fairly mediocre as well.
They say comedians are fearless in their opinions and standup.. But the speech he gave outside india.. India mein karo na, kyun fatt gyi na kahi pel diya jayega bheed mein.. He is either too much or too fake
@@_AZBT_ASHUTOSHKUSHWAHA I believe the reason Veer Das chose to deliver that speech outside India wasn't out of fear of offending anyone, as many within India give far more controversial and hateful speeches without consequence, which, in itself, is a sign of a functioning democracy. Instead, I think his primary motive was to garner sympathy and attention from the West. It seems he wanted to portray India as so problematic that someone like him felt compelled to flee to the West to highlight these issues to the 'great' Western audience. Perhaps he hoped to gain their support, security, and fame by appealing to them. However, what Veer Das seems to have overlooked is that the essence of a stand-up show is comedy, and in that speech, it was sorely lacking.
He is famous cause he toes the "woke" party line. Mediocrity has become the centre piece of mainstream entertainment houses. You aren't supposed to be good as comedy, you just have to agree with "what is acceptable". Politics always kills art.
See if being “like another character” is a crime, there shouldn’t have been a Caroline after Elle or an Alexis after Caroline. The point is if we can accept so many renditions of Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth, I think we should be okay with reiteration of an archetype. When was the last time when one saw a cozy fluff watch lead by a girl? Ask my Schitt’s Creek and the Good Place rewatching ass and I’ll tell you there isn’t! I used to be someone who used to be annoyed by this kind of escapist stuff. But as I am getting older and life is hitting real hard, I am recognising and appreciating the place for such escapist stuff in the world. I would agree that Call me Bae is certainly not a masterpiece even its own genre of cozy fluff but I guess India has to start somewhere?
AISHA did it 14 years ago. While being a remake it was still far more authentic about the portrayal of the privileged south delhi echo chamber than this!
You seriously did not compare this to the good place . My god 😂😂 . It’s like calling Bhagi series the Indian version of taken. I’m sorry but you just can’t 😢
@@shellysakhd8798nope. Everything must not be a masterpiece but it should at least must be sensible. Aisha too, wasn't a masterpiece but it wasn't chatgpt level script whose prompt was given by a 12 year old.
OMG... You are sometimes really the victim of your own brand... you are pretty soon gong to make I was wrong guys I couldn't see what you guys saw earlier... This show was real fun and well acted especially Ananya....it never claimed to be what it is not... Don't over intellectualize everything..
Stop the Hate on Ananya Pandey and the show. It is an amazing watch. And Oh, you should have learnt from ‘Bae’ when she said ‘kindness never goes out of fashion’, maybe then you COULD have been a little kind and COULD have seen the positive side of the show.
People appreciate the roar of psycopath angry man in the movie Saripoda Shanivaram, but call this show loud😂. Its for the entertainment. The problem is now a days people consider it as job, responsibility😅 to discuss , compare each show on social media .
11:42 This show is Indian equivalent of Blake Lively's 'It ends with us' where instead of focusing on main themes like domestic violence, she was more focused on her stylish and luxurious wardrobe, holding an after party where she promoted her alcohol brand and launching her new hair care brand alongside. These celebs, directors and producers are so out of touch that for them touching the heavy and realistic themes of movies are so goshdarn difficult.
I always agree with your reviews but not for this one. Thoroughly enjoyed the show. The writing was pretty good for a show of this genre and Ananya was endearing. Loved the fashion too! This show was miles better than Emily in Paris. May be women would enjoy this one more and that’s okay.
Oh yeah. Girls love a show with plotless struggles, shallow characters, the whole world's against them for no reason (victim stuff) and especially cheating their partners. Masterpiece ⭐
I did enjoy all the references, had few moments that made me chuckle. Guilty pleasure for sure. But the way everyone called her bae, cringed every time that happened. Making urvashi rateula date a cricketer was the HUMOUR.
Why can't call me bae be everything all at once? At least its entertaining. And why are you so mad people are liking it? It's a likable show. Ananya and vir das did great in it.
I honestly enjoyed this show, I’m American and don’t really know how life in India is. Stuff like lack seatbelts in those auto taxis is news to me since I’ve never seen one in person and never thought about. Bae has that London Tipton vibe and the show itself is very Disney like and I’m all for it
The only reason why shows like this get made is because the particular demographic these shows cater to just love to watch a celebrity family's fake and lavish lifestyle and their relationships.
Sorry Anmol ! Sometimes we just want to get our vacuuming done and not have to watch serials. I didn’t care about the accuracy of the whatsapp groups or the couple of scenes I probably missed. Emily in Paris wasn’t accurate either. I don’t want to watch something life changing when I’ve had a rough day. It is just entertainment at the end of the day. I’m sure there’s market for fluff 😂
Sure, but mass murder and infidelity is a harder fluff to swallow and impressionable minds on a killing spree vs shopping spree is perhaps a little different in terms of consequences.
Seriously, India needs an a24 to cater to smaller independent films like what junglee or Viacom was doing in the late 2010s, with these big studios emphasising on what works for the current audience- huge action franchises, and these masala no brainers, they are the reason people have stopped going to watch smaller films ( I dont remember the last time i saw a film like 'Photograph' 'Dhobi ghaat' and 'Titli' without it being a netflix or a Amazon production) and even a film that wins the grand prix in Cannes doesn't gets distribution in its own country, Seriously India needs to support better screenwriters, or we'll never see the end of baaghis and housefull's because the general audience doesnt seem to care anymore about introspective films, they tend to lean more towards wedding pose montages on insta.
What difference does it make it it's on Amazon or Netflix? As long as it's popular, it'll make money. As long as it makes money, producers will keep funding similar projects. The important thing is to hype up these types of movies and shows regardless of what platform they're released on.

Call me bae is a well written and performed series and Ananyas best acting. You are just a jealous hater uncle who can't see her succeding. Well she is doing very well despite your best attempts at doing negative pr. Call me bae is trending #1 and giving profit to its producers.
Having been a fan of yours for a long time, I feel you are not the target audience of a show that caters to female gaze. This was exactly the kind of show that we saw on TV in the 2000s. And I know this is a dumb show but it was fun dumb. Or maybe that's just me. Indian movies/shows already caters to men 90 percent of the time, God forbid they make something for the women. No wonder the women are moving to Kdramas.
Yes 💯 Please let it go right, it's for the girlies. So much of media is for the men and anything made for women is put under so much scrutiny. Just make the argument of "oh it's just a movie na, don't take it so seriously" that you always do and move ahead please. Thoda bahut jo hamare liye banate hai rehno do usko 😭
Karan johar is hilariously such an interesting character. On hand i was recently wacthing his interview with Bharadwaj rangan and his take on why bollywood films are failing as a producer was so on to the point and i could see how clever he is. But then at the same time with this series it feels like he has two split personalities working!!😅
it’s just mindless binge watching show. nothing more. i stayed up till 3 am binge watching it. i forget half of the things that happened. but am i excited for season 2? yes.
I really liked the series its a light hearted comedy not everything should have an impact man also if you watch all the k dramas they always use really nice and big houses because it makes the viewers feel pleased its eye soothing song be so negative
I've watched both emily in paris and two broke girls and tbh call me bae tops these two shows. It was fun to watch and Ananya did a good job in this series. Emily in paris and Two broke girls became bit too heavy after a few episodes but call me bae was interesting till the last episode.
I personally found it one time watch, as I could tolerate it and managed to binge watch the entire series. I personally think Ananya is a good actress and she isnt truly an entitled nepo kid (we must know she is daughter of Chunky Pandey and not the likes of SRK or Aamir Khan or Saif Khan)
Hey I totally agree with your points but sometimes us (as an audience) we also wanna watch something light and calm, so we generally opt for mindless movies where we are just watching and having fun and we dont have to be very focused about it.
I actually enjoyed watching "call me bae."" It is so unserious that I just enjoyed the show. I finish it in one go. Ananya was so good in this snd so was her acting. You dont need to find the perfect comedy plotline everytime to watch a show. Sometimes you watch because you wanna have fun or just see some lame jokes(maybe) . I would live to see the season 2. Bella chaudhary you rockkk 🎉❤
The show was great and an escape frm reality ,u can watch it for binge watch,idek when ppl can accept shows like never hv i ever or emily in paris why cant they watch call me bae u cant expect the protagonist to be perfect,everyone plays grey character in lyf nd so in movies nd shows
I don't agree with this review....I liked the show and I don't even know what Emily in Paris is....Maybe you should not search for perfection always and just go with the flow and enjoy. Yeah, there could be moments which seems dumb, but that doesn't mean we focus on that and call it out ...Overall, I enjoyed this show, that's all matters to me.

Ananya Pandey, she is as as Gen Z as her in her age but I still don't understand why she wants to look older, why she wants to look like a milenieal, I really just don't know why, but I really will give her that, she knows how to use what she has to her best advantage, and for Karan Johar, it is Ananya Pandey after Alia Bhatt

I also thought the same. The character was really similar to Caroline from Two broke girls and Alexis from Schitts Creek. In some scenes you can clearly see Ananya copying Alexis.
No no. Those actors are really good and u end up falling in love with Caroline and Alexis. I tried really hard to like Ananya character but nope.
For the first time ever, I am not in agreement with TRP's review of a show! I really liked this show purely coz it was very light headed, stress free, good looking and blingy on screen and just fun to watch.
Ananya has improved over a period of time and an actor must be judged on their acting skills basis their screen presence and not basis whether their acting is really a tough job or not. She played to her strengths and is being liked for it.
Unpopular opinion - Only Ananya or may be Alia could have played this role. No one else could.
Its ofcourse far from reality, but wasn't that how it was supposed to be.
This show was much needed for a weekend binge and it deserves its due :)

It was not meant to be serious
They were laughing on themselves

Everything was so easy for her. Getting an internship, being the girl everyone loves, no remorse over cheating on her husband and in turn making him feel bad about himself, men falling all over her. There was nothing engrossing, substantial or gripping. I was super disappointed with Vir Das; his actual felt unnatural, his dialogues forced, his comic timing off.

That being said I did vaguely enjoy Call me Bae and the show was exactly what is promised to be -a parody. You don't see accurate representation anywhere because it caters to the audience's vision more.

I usually like your reviews but this time I wondered what went wrong that you hated the show so much. IMO, the show isn't half as bad as what you project it to be in your review / rant. It delivered on what the trailer promised - a light, breezy, fun watch with several funny one-liners and yet you chose to pick & start your review with probably the weakest one-liner of the show involving Smarty Pants. I also thought the styling was fab by Anahita Shroff Adajania and the entire cast especially the girls - Ananya, Niharika, Muskkaan and Lisa Mishra did a fine job.
Women I believe have the potential to be the next female superstars of Hindi cinema after Alia Bhatt (who enjoys the relentless support of powerful lobbies) - Sharvari Wagh and Kriti Sanon (sad that Kriti still hasn't gotten her due).
I'd include Sanya Malhotra but she lacks the star charisma (just my opinion), although she is a tremendous talent!
100% agree with this. Sharvari, kriti, if they keep on choosing great scripts, has the potential to be next stars
I agree with Sharvari , after watching vedaa and maharaj..she has SO MUCH potential..but not kriti ..the kind of scripts and films she chooses..adipurush..ganpath..🤦to name a few..I dont think so..and I watched couple of her recent interviews..she is completely out of touch..she thinks that bollywood is doing well😂

You know I won't want to get serious with each and every film all the time. I mean there are so many reasons for watching a movie for me it's entertainment.
Aisha was a GREAT movie for Sonam Kapoor! We knew Sonam is like that irl, but that movie had a great story..some of us millennials have seen it multiple times lol. Call Me Bae could have been that but it’s just so cringe..and not aligned with gen z at all.
Story was great. Coming from OG Jane Austen's Emma. Clueless was a was a pretty nice adaptation too.
I agree!! I have watched it multiple times too and dont get bored. Call me bae is a one time watch, could have been better
Kate Hudson: It's so Dumb it's brilliant
Daniel Craig: 9:26
So my opinion may be an unpopular opinion then
Because I really enjoyed the show and here are my two cents
- For the first time I enjoyed Ananya’s acting, it was the perfect amount of “over the top”
- It wasn’t preachy, it was touching on a sensitive topic but thank God it was not preachy. In fact I really enjoyed the final debate between bae and SS. The one liners in the beginning were very basic but Ananya delivered them very well
- I am Pakistani, not an Indian so I dont really know a lot about the culture and dynamics of the cities except for the fact that South Dehli is a rich posh place and Mumbai is for hustlers but the references in the show were really interesting and I really wanted to see more of the city dynamics
- I am a millennial and not a GenZ and genZ shows annoy the hell out of me but for some reason I did feel connected to the show. For once I wasn’t being told in my face that I am an old person and I dont understand GZ stuff😂
- I loved the entire cast of the show . Every actor fits the character like a glove
So may be it could be just me but disagreeing with you here Jammy, the show did leave a really nice impact. I was charged after watching it and that for me is “impact” 😊
You are not alone. My wife and I thought it was a good series. I don’t understand Jammy sometimes. He liked GOAT movie but not this 😂
I actually liked ananyas acting and other cast did amazing job too.
Does it have to be close to reality? Which movie or series is? It’s just for entertainment.
I agree with you as well, I don’t understand why people are angry with the series, it’s actually entertaining. I enjoyed it.
I agree as well. I watched it on a day when I was not feeling so good and it cheered me up. I thought it was quite well made for a chick flick kind of series and was fun to watch. May not be everyone's cup of tea especially if you have huge expectations.
@@sanahussainkhan1992 true. jammys reviews are always pretentious. Any light hearted shows esp for women are bad as per him -_- typical Indian pseudo intellectuals who think anything pink and fun is wrong
Look at these genz girls and on the other hand look at what these terrific actors are bringing to the table, kangna in Emergency,Alia in Jigra, kareena in Buckingham murders,whether u like or don’t like these women but one can’t deny the fact they are way ahead of these genz glam dolls.
That is the worst take ever
Kareena in her younger years was way worse. The difference is between showcasing actual talent and hardwork vs just shoving an actor that clearly cant act . All of the veteran female actresses because of nepotism were given multiple chances, i mean if i had a million chances i could also learn how to act.
Genz actresses from the outside haven’t even gotten a chance yet, even in millenials its only now that we get actors like tripti dimri, sanya Malhotra etc being mainstream
@@lightningbolt4467stfu Kareena did chameli refugee n dev so early in her career

@@WatermelonSugar1209she is the most inspiring and brave women
As a gen Z person, I must say that these rich and privileged actors who get roles through nepotism aren't a representation of the actors of our generation. In fact, the actors of our generation haven't even gotten big roles or enough appreciation for their role (some of which were mentioned in this video itself). It's the boomer producers and writers of our country who just take western stereotypes of the younger generations, apply them on Indian girls and women, and expect us to find them relatable.
You are right, there are many things wrong with this show - it does not align with struggles of moving to a new city, entering job market as a beginner (yet alone with no valid credentials but only random short courses), landing your biggest break, finding decent roommates and love interests, and so on and so forth. BUT even as a critic you DO NOT get to decide what kind of content is to be made. Your guilty pleasure may or may not be same as other people. This series is supposed to be a lighthearted fling. Why are you trying to knot it with real life hardships. This show is simply a comic representation of riches to rags and resilience. Take a chill.

There has always been room for improvement ....all of ananya roles in every movies are basically the same . Her expressions are not very "real " like u can tell she is acting . But ..Well whatever . Trust me they just want us to believe that ananya can act . Just trying to lift her reputation or smth . Don't fall it . That sounded funny😂 but nvm .
I thought I was crazy for being infuriated by the overflow of compliments for the show. 😭 and yes.. class/big girls don’t cry are fare more decent shows I enjoyed and are quite relatable.
I do think most of them were fake and planted . I am sure actually. They are trying like hell to sell this as hit but not a single human person I know personally liked this , I mean no one actually completed . Ofc in the internet you cannot believe all the raving to be true
As a South Delhi girl, the depiction is cringe but it is exactly how people make fun of South Delhi ppl.
It was honestly a good laugh.
People being unaware of their self destructive tendencies for attention seeking is an actual phenomenon.
Also unfortunately your criticism for this sounded like Transformers series good but Twilight bad.
I didn't like major hits like Animal, RRR and Pushpa but I know people loved them. It's okay!
It's a surface level show that literally used keywords on chatgpt to form a script. It's impossible for a human to pass this script.
I surprisingly liked the sereis . It was fun to watch and ananya's acting had improved too. I mean why should we always expect so much from a sereis though it was a bit extra sometimes but i had a great time watching it plus it was engaging
Children from the 90s across South Asia (including Bangladesh) have grown up watching Karan johar movies. Very sad to see how Karan Johar is trying too much to connect to today's audience.
I've never quite understood why people consider Veer Das a good comedian. To me, he seems just below average, and his acting is fairly mediocre as well.
Yes. He just got lucky I guess.
They say comedians are fearless in their opinions and standup.. But the speech he gave outside india.. India mein karo na, kyun fatt gyi na kahi pel diya jayega bheed mein.. He is either too much or too fake
@@_AZBT_ASHUTOSHKUSHWAHA I believe the reason Veer Das chose to deliver that speech outside India wasn't out of fear of offending anyone, as many within India give far more controversial and hateful speeches without consequence, which, in itself, is a sign of a functioning democracy. Instead, I think his primary motive was to garner sympathy and attention from the West. It seems he wanted to portray India as so problematic that someone like him felt compelled to flee to the West to highlight these issues to the 'great' Western audience. Perhaps he hoped to gain their support, security, and fame by appealing to them. However, what Veer Das seems to have overlooked is that the essence of a stand-up show is comedy, and in that speech, it was sorely lacking.
He’s quite like a fancy restaurant which is bad in taste but no one can accept it publicly
He is famous cause he toes the "woke" party line. Mediocrity has become the centre piece of mainstream entertainment houses. You aren't supposed to be good as comedy, you just have to agree with "what is acceptable". Politics always kills art.
See if being “like another character” is a crime, there shouldn’t have been a Caroline after Elle or an Alexis after Caroline. The point is if we can accept so many renditions of Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth, I think we should be okay with reiteration of an archetype. When was the last time when one saw a cozy fluff watch lead by a girl? Ask my Schitt’s Creek and the Good Place rewatching ass and I’ll tell you there isn’t! I used to be someone who used to be annoyed by this kind of escapist stuff. But as I am getting older and life is hitting real hard, I am recognising and appreciating the place for such escapist stuff in the world. I would agree that Call me Bae is certainly not a masterpiece even its own genre of cozy fluff but I guess India has to start somewhere?
AISHA did it 14 years ago. While being a remake it was still far more authentic about the portrayal of the privileged south delhi echo chamber than this!
@@TriedRefusedProductions I agree it was mediocre at best but does everything need to be a masterpiece?
You seriously did not compare this to the good place . My god 😂😂 . It’s like calling Bhagi series the Indian version of taken. I’m sorry but you just can’t 😢
@@abhinavmaharaj4804 you should read what I wrote again
@@shellysakhd8798nope. Everything must not be a masterpiece but it should at least must be sensible.
Aisha too, wasn't a masterpiece but it wasn't chatgpt level script whose prompt was given by a 12 year old.
Guys, it’s a nice and light hearted show.
Will bring a smile to your face, if you are NORMAL.
This RUclipsr is a pessimist, don’t listen to him
OMG... You are sometimes really the victim of your own brand... you are pretty soon gong to make I was wrong guys I couldn't see what you guys saw earlier... This show was real fun and well acted especially Ananya....it never claimed to be what it is not... Don't over intellectualize everything..
I was thinking of this exact thing!!!
Copying west and glorifying cheating that’s what it was
Exactlyyyyyy
There are better shows than that...and the storyline is also not "original " but everyone has thier preferences Ig so nvm.
Stop the Hate on Ananya Pandey and the show.
It is an amazing watch.
And Oh, you should have learnt from ‘Bae’ when she said ‘kindness never goes out of fashion’, maybe then you COULD have been a little kind and COULD have seen the positive side of the show.
People appreciate the roar of psycopath angry man in the movie Saripoda Shanivaram, but call this show loud😂.
Its for the entertainment. The problem is now a days people consider it as job, responsibility😅 to discuss , compare each show on social media .
😮
Ofcourse it his "job , responsibility " he reviews new shows and movies .
Q. Why so much money spent for fluff pieces.
Ans. Convert black money to white.
It was surprisingly good. I've only watched 3 episodes and i loved it. 10/10.
I mean.... yeah the plot may not be great, but I really like ananya's acting in this.
I actually enjoyed the show. There were parts that were cringe, but most comedy shows are, be it Bollywood or Hollywood.
11:42 This show is Indian equivalent of Blake Lively's 'It ends with us' where instead of focusing on main themes like domestic violence, she was more focused on her stylish and luxurious wardrobe, holding an after party where she promoted her alcohol brand and launching her new hair care brand alongside. These celebs, directors and producers are so out of touch that for them touching the heavy and realistic themes of movies are so goshdarn difficult.
I always agree with your reviews but not for this one. Thoroughly enjoyed the show. The writing was pretty good for a show of this genre and Ananya was endearing. Loved the fashion too! This show was miles better than Emily in Paris. May be women would enjoy this one more and that’s okay.
100% agree with you!
Exactly. I agree it was a good show.
Oh yeah. Girls love a show with plotless struggles, shallow characters, the whole world's against them for no reason (victim stuff) and especially cheating their partners. Masterpiece ⭐
@@Adityasing_hlol who hurt you?
Ignore this guy..i just finished all the episode and love it!!❤
I did enjoy all the references, had few moments that made me chuckle. Guilty pleasure for sure.
But the way everyone called her bae, cringed every time that happened. Making urvashi rateula date a cricketer was the HUMOUR.
2010s - Udaan, Gangs of wasseypur, ZNMD, Vicky donor, Rockstar, Peepli, Talaash, Raone,Don, Queen, Lunchbox, Masaan, Newton, Andhadhun, Stree etc.
Now.....
I want this era again 😢😢😭😭
Now blackout
Sunil grover movie which jammy just ignored
Why can't call me bae be everything all at once? At least its entertaining. And why are you so mad people are liking it? It's a likable show. Ananya and vir das did great in it.
ok bootlicker
I honestly enjoyed this show, I’m American and don’t really know how life in India is. Stuff like lack seatbelts in those auto taxis is news to me since I’ve never seen one in person and never thought about. Bae has that London Tipton vibe and the show itself is very Disney like and I’m all for it
The only reason why shows like this get made is because the particular demographic these shows cater to just love to watch a celebrity family's fake and lavish lifestyle and their relationships.
The airhead demographics
So Karan Johar and his family and friends.
Yes we do, thanks for the recognition ❤
Sorry Anmol ! Sometimes we just want to get our vacuuming done and not have to watch serials. I didn’t care about the accuracy of the whatsapp groups or the couple of scenes I probably missed. Emily in Paris wasn’t accurate either. I don’t want to watch something life changing when I’ve had a rough day. It is just entertainment at the end of the day. I’m sure there’s market for fluff 😂
Exactly. I loved call me bae
I agree !!
@@prajaktadande7053do you by any chance work for there PR 🧐
Fr! The same way i said 'bout animal and femcels shitted on me. Smh.
Sure, but mass murder and infidelity is a harder fluff to swallow and impressionable minds on a killing spree vs shopping spree is perhaps a little different in terms of consequences.
Delhi houses are bigger than Mumbai matchboxes caught me off guard XD
I toh loveddd the series..It's So Much FUNNNN!
Seriously, India needs an a24 to cater to smaller independent films like what junglee or Viacom was doing in the late 2010s, with these big studios emphasising on what works for the current audience- huge action franchises, and these masala no brainers, they are the reason people have stopped going to watch smaller films ( I dont remember the last time i saw a film like 'Photograph' 'Dhobi ghaat' and 'Titli' without it being a netflix or a Amazon production) and even a film that wins the grand prix in Cannes doesn't gets distribution in its own country,
Seriously India needs to support better screenwriters, or we'll never see the end of baaghis and housefull's because the general audience doesnt seem to care anymore about introspective films, they tend to lean more towards wedding pose montages on insta.
I don't think it's true, many small films are becoming box office successes.
What difference does it make it it's on Amazon or Netflix? As long as it's popular, it'll make money. As long as it makes money, producers will keep funding similar projects. The important thing is to hype up these types of movies and shows regardless of what platform they're released on.
@@zetaforever4953 Indian filmmakers don't know how to make commercial movies without masala😂
@@zetaforever4953 Hollywood bhi to same jawan jesi movies bana skta tha but woh log Indian movies ko dekhkar kabhi inspired nhi hote h 😜
@@raja-jl9os huh? Hollywood ki superhero movies dekhi hai kabhi? 100 mein se 2 agar acche nikal gaye toh bahut hai. baki sab mein toh wahi hota hai...bas dhishum dhishum aur pyaar mohabbat. Kya difference hai humare yaha ke masala movies se? Kuch log bas super blockbuster hollywood movies ya anime dekhkar samajhte hai ki unke saare movies aise hi hote hai, lekin aisa nahi hai. Zyadatar hollywood movies aur zyadatar anime bhi bakwas hote hai, lekin woh kabhi hum tak nahi pahuchte kyuki jis cheez ko domestic audience hi pasand na kare woh foreign audience kyu dekhegi bhala?
Call me bae is a well written and performed series and Ananyas best acting. You are just a jealous hater uncle who can't see her succeding. Well she is doing very well despite your best attempts at doing negative pr. Call me bae is trending #1 and giving profit to its producers.
Kiddo why
Having been a fan of yours for a long time, I feel you are not the target audience of a show that caters to female gaze. This was exactly the kind of show that we saw on TV in the 2000s. And I know this is a dumb show but it was fun dumb. Or maybe that's just me. Indian movies/shows already caters to men 90 percent of the time, God forbid they make something for the women. No wonder the women are moving to Kdramas.
Nope
Yes 💯
Please let it go right, it's for the girlies. So much of media is for the men and anything made for women is put under so much scrutiny. Just make the argument of "oh it's just a movie na, don't take it so seriously" that you always do and move ahead please. Thoda bahut jo hamare liye banate hai rehno do usko 😭
Yes, it was fun watching it , I loved her clothes makeup everything. Not every movie/series has to be that serious.
Karan johar is hilariously such an interesting character. On hand i was recently wacthing his interview with Bharadwaj rangan and his take on why bollywood films are failing as a producer was so on to the point and i could see how clever he is. But then at the same time with this series it feels like he has two split personalities working!!😅
it’s just mindless binge watching show. nothing more. i stayed up till 3 am binge watching it. i forget half of the things that happened. but am i excited for season 2? yes.
Guilty pleasure I guess or you are dumb you liked the show
Huh😵😵😵
Exactly. I also loved it.
if show is so forgetable then why are you even excited ?
I really liked the series its a light hearted comedy not everything should have an impact man also if you watch all the k dramas they always use really nice and big houses because it makes the viewers feel pleased its eye soothing song be so negative
0:33 just like Jammypants😂
I've watched both emily in paris and two broke girls and tbh call me bae tops these two shows. It was fun to watch and Ananya did a good job in this series. Emily in paris and Two broke girls became bit too heavy after a few episodes but call me bae was interesting till the last episode.
I personally found it one time watch, as I could tolerate it and managed to binge watch the entire series. I personally think Ananya is a good actress and she isnt truly an entitled nepo kid (we must know she is daughter of Chunky Pandey and not the likes of SRK or Aamir Khan or Saif Khan)
We will see in the future . As an actress she can't always do same roles ..so , if ever she actually decides to act we will meet again 🎉
Hey
I totally agree with your points but sometimes us (as an audience) we also wanna watch something light and calm, so we generally opt for mindless movies where we are just watching and having fun and we dont have to be very focused about it.
I actually enjoyed watching "call me bae."" It is so unserious that I just enjoyed the show. I finish it in one go. Ananya was so good in this snd so was her acting. You dont need to find the perfect comedy plotline everytime to watch a show. Sometimes you watch because you wanna have fun or just see some lame jokes(maybe) . I would live to see the season 2. Bella chaudhary you rockkk 🎉❤
same here
@@gurpreetdeol4171gay ho kya
The show was great and an escape frm reality ,u can watch it for binge watch,idek when ppl can accept shows like never hv i ever or emily in paris why cant they watch call me bae u cant expect the protagonist to be perfect,everyone plays grey character in lyf nd so in movies nd shows
10:58 do not diss wattpad like that they got some good fanfics
"Some"
I don't agree with this review....I liked the show and I don't even know what Emily in Paris is....Maybe you should not search for perfection always and just go with the flow and enjoy. Yeah, there could be moments which seems dumb, but that doesn't mean we focus on that and call it out ...Overall, I enjoyed this show, that's all matters to me. I don't care if everything is perfect, just entertainment is what should be main priority.
Good for you . But most people found the comedy to be a headache. So maybe they are infuriated by the end of it
The bar is so low for you than
You need good recommendations
@@PrattipatiSaiTejaIf we keep on celebrating mediocrity then we will never get good content. Because of people like you the quality of content has gone to the shithole in the recent years
This is the first time I don’t agree with his review. He is pissed for no reason.. it was a good comfort watch, might not be something a man would enjoy but to the extent he is frustrated it just makes me think if he is a right wing guy😂
I don’t agree with the review this time. I know the show is on the face of it, and is flawed but it was an okay watch.. Ananya did act well in the series. I know this is not something new and have been done over the years but sometimes it still works
exactly it was a fluff which can be your weekend binge and idk why he said the outfits were bad. they were so cute and perfect to the show acc to me.
Exactly. The show is cute and the outfits are beautiful. This critic uncle just hates Ananya.
@@prajaktadande7053 - Don’t think he hates Ananya, he has appreciated her performance in Kho gaye hum kahan but I guess since some of the things were over the top in the film, he just can’t relate with those. But so do I, but still liked it.
Ananya Pandey, she is as as Gen Z as her in her age but I still don't understand why she wants to look older, why she wants to look like a milenieal, I really just don't know why, but I really will give her that, she knows how to use what she has to her best advantage, and for Karan Johar, it is Ananya Pandey after Alia Bhatt
The scene where Om saves Shanti from the fire was inspired by Sunil Dutt saving nargis. I didn't know it till very recently
Where were u all this while😂😂😂
@@AllTimeBollywoodFan. I am so mad at myself for not knowing this earlier but I was too young when the movie came out and for the longest time I didn't even know that Sanjay Dutt was a NEPO baby with both parents being popular and successful
@@milliondolargirl Sanjay Dutt was a star kid but not a nepo baby. Nepo babies have to be babysat through out their careers like u see today. He found his success on his own after failing. He always had it in him. Only star kid of 80s who became a megastar. Apart from Sunny Deol
I was more entertained by hearing jammy's rant then the 8 episode series. Jammy you dont know how satisfying it was to hear exactly what i wanted to shout out.😂
call me bae was fun .... refreshing ... jammy you got this wrong
