Our Take:

The story is about all-women family facing modern day problems in their offbeat ways. Concept misses out to show the warmth in Kohli family. There seems to be hyped emotions, instead naturally perceived. Most of the actors are new. More of their acting talent has to be put in their roles. The show sinks down a bit. The scenes look arranged by huge attempts. Shamata starred in Everest before and impressed the viewers by her acting skills. The same can’t be said for her in this show.

Shamata as Myra does not bring the individuality in her character. Myra’s character does not look like lead one. It gets dull as the supporting characters. Sameer as Kabir does not strike perfect. Sameer is okay when he delivers one liners. Emotional scenes are totally unappealing. Story pace has been okay in the first week, as emphasis was on characterizations, which still lacks detailing.

Overall:

The show was touted to be a rom-com, but that’s the two things missing here. Romance is overcast, while comedy is hapless. The scenes derives no interest and curiosity. Viewers can expect the leads chemistry to get better in the upcoming romantic track.

Our Rating:

2 out of 5
