I'm not for fluff, I have never liked Karan Johar's movies like Student of the Year kinds .. but call me Bae is actually a nice watch.
Watch it without any judgement. It's pure entertainment with a cute mockery of the rich and famous without being derisive .
I actually watched a few reviews by famous reviewers and earlier decided to drop it because they were not that encouraging.
But having lost trust in the famous reviewers over the last few years (especially after Pathan ;);)) , I decided to give it a go.
The fact that I completed the 1at episode and decided to continue told me that I would sail through.
I particularly loved the innocence of Ananya Pandey. As per the movie, one doesn't have to go to journalism school to be a famous journalist, the same way I feel Ananya doesn't have to be a fabulous actor to hold the entire show. She has done a good job by acting who she is, how we see her on social media .
The supporting cast is full of energy and that doesn't let the show go boring. Vir Das is good as an irritating Tehelka style presenter.
My favourite is the watchman who tells Ananya - Aapki majboori jahan shuru hoti hai, wahan tak pahunchna hee to apna sapna hai 😀 with a snide ref of Siddhant Chaturvedi.
