A random childish stage play drama
20 March 2023
Right from when the series begins you will realise how this one is like a random stage play comedy drama.

Scenes change randomly to some scene and intro sequence begins all of a sudden. It feels like a film chopped into a 6 episode series. Everything happening in this series is just random. It feels like a play made for kids and even written by a kid because we are in 2023 and such kind of comedy and execution may not be crass but is outright kiddish. So kids might enjoy this series.

Coming to the comedy. It's a 40% hit and remaining percentage miss. All thanks to the greatest Indian writer Farhad Samji , we are treated to jokes of kindergarten level and we are expected to laugh at them. However, the fact is some comedy sequences genuinely works well like the sequence where Johnny lever while dancing starts to get get a heart attack and everyone assuming he's holding his chest as a dance move follows him xD. Yes some parts will remind you of the 2000s era of comedy in Bollywood but the remaining comedy is just either too childish , too low iq ones or too WhatsApp-ish. A late father is understood by a church father as a father arriving late!! Absolutely nonsense.

Performance wise, all are average. Johnny lever has a few laughs but has the cringiest character. Rajpal Yadav is totally wasted . We get to see late Satish kaushik maybe one last time and he too has been handed some really bad jokes like "baccha girana" (abortion) is termed by him as take a baby and throw it to ground!!?? What rubbish. Kunal khemu is the only one putting in some effort. Saurabh shukla too has a cringy character like Johnny lever. Nupur Sanon, was she even there in this series? Idk.

Overall , if you love kiddish jokes and no brainers, you might like this otherwise skip.
