My review has been given for my favourite actors Girish and Mona, and both are very good performer all time. Otherwise, I don't have much interest to watch this series.

Lethargic plot with okish performance
mayankfeb5 December 2020
The plot lacked any form of novelty. It's trying too hard to be a path breaker by following the same path again. They pulled in a couple of stand up comics for guest appearance but didn't really give them any screen time. Jokes are mostly old, over used and unfunny. Couple of characters abs performances were just dead and Ofcourse they had to put in a modi joke and UP noida joke because they need to feel woke!
2 star rating for the audacity and efforts. Watch it if you have nothing else to do with your life.

How can u cast swara for stand up comedian the choice should be some bubbly energetic young female
Swara as usual she over acted and in some scenes she dint act at all
Same comedy dialogues were repeated which irritates u rather than giggling
Beanie pls run away

Time waste

I just watched the first episode and now cannot take it more. Swara bhaskar is not justifying the character at all. The director could have cast someone more realistic character. We already have lots of stand-up comedians who can easily catch up this role.
overall for me it is a waste of time.
Not funny, amateurish

Utter disappointment

Totally waste of time

I really tried to sit through this
sunnyc94 December 2020
A show about stand up by people who have no clue about stand up. Bad casting. If people want to see a good show about stand up where a housewife turns to stand up and freaks out her family and dumps her husband, there is Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Which is well made, nuanced, terrific actors, well scripted. Why would someone want to watch a copy that too a bad copy of a non existent comedy scene. What the hell is the point of this show! Who is your audience? If its for the Americans, they have better fiction on stand up as they have a long lasting tradition of stand up. If this is made for Indians? Then well it was a waste as a more interesting take would be to show the way stand up scene is just taking off in India and why?
Like who the hell is running NETFLIX in India? Fire them! One horrible show after the other this year!
Thanks for wasting my time. I really tried to like or at least watch this show.
Boring

Okayish story with pathetic acting by Lead actress

Seems boring
asingh-772924 December 2020
The episodes are boring and actors need to work on real acting skills.
Casting crew need to be more cautious choosing the cast, and not based on who is who's son or daughter.
Also, the storyline needs some rewriting to make this series less clichéd.
🤦🏻

Extremely poor direction and acting.
sritam_mohanty4 December 2020
Swara Bhaskar's acting is cringeworthy at best. Not to mention lack of imagination or any kind of originality in script. This is a very poor adaptation of Marvellous Mrs Maisel. A total disappointment from Netflix. To be avoided at all cost.
Is this a comedy show? No.
abhishekjain-725865 December 2020
Bad bad bad. Just too bad a watch. Felt like puking just after 15 minutes into the first episode. Bad casting. Predictable jokes aka whatsapp forwards. Nothing worth watching. If you don't love your time and money, watch all episodes for sure.
Standup comedians' broken record is now getting annoying
shibenb7 December 2020
I watched the trailer, I got a hint what this will be, then I took a look at an episode and my hint got confirmed. This is a story which has been told millions of times in India since 2 decades and every stand-up comedian ever has played this broken record. If I could have a dollar every time it plays.
It is almost condescending that the same message is being pushed over and over with the mindset that either Indians are not understanding or that every Indian must become a standup comedian, because this has to be what everyone wants, right? NO! A lot of us aspire to be doctors and engineers, hate us all you want, we are not going away.
At this point I feel Ekta Kapoor and Standup Comedians have ironically become the status quo in entertainment, and a counter culture drive is needed to pull them down from their privilege.
On top of all this, It does not help that, Netflix as a platform, is a private company owned, instead of a market regulated one, because of which they force keep their mediocre produce to the top for an entire week. I find it disappointing that Netflix India has a very superficial and sometimes wrong interpretation of what people are looking for.

Fun, with some great nuances
qualitycontentmatters19 January 2021
Yet another well made Indian show on Netflix! Don't let the low ratings dissuade you from watching it.
It's all in the nuances. Indian Netflix shows are meant for the kind of person who appreciates the small but very important details in the dialogues and story.
This series yet again features an empowered woman and the pressures and micro aggressions she has to fight every single day just so she can do something she loves.
Beautiful acting. Light and funny. Really looking forward to the next season.

Swara shines but the script falters
ayandutta-887777 December 2020
The six episode series is not hilariously funny but it has its moments. Some punches are funny but some go totally flat. The star cast shines in this series. Swara, varun, dolly and ravi do a convincing job but the writer disappoints. And swara looked really beautiful in this series. One time watch
