Watched this show with much hope and anticipation. But alas, this is just another bland show in the black hole that is Amazon miniTV. There's an unmissable irony in watching a show on screenwriters where the weakest link is the...screenwriting. It seems a lot of these shows and creators are still stuck in the early days of Youtube sketches, circa 2015. The director seems content with surface-level execution. Everything feels caricature-ish and the actors aren't pushed to the next level and the whole set-up has a bad TV spoof vibe. Some moments work (for example, the flashback confrontation between Romil and Aayush, Aayush confessing his love to the tv actress facing rejections) but they are few and far between. The background score tries hard to do the thankless job of lifting flat scenes but fails.

Among the actors, Chunky Pandey has the most fun with what he is given. Also, I must point out the actress playing the writer of Swaad Anusar (Ankita Goraya I believe). That lady MIMICS Kriti Sanon like nobody's watching. Every expression and every gesture seems borrowed. Did no one point this out? Is the director ok with this? She seems sincere but this aspect needed correction because frankly its exhausting and irritating. Overall, this seems like a missed opportunity. God knows we need a great show that brings out the inside truths of this mad, mad world of filmmaking. Many have tried but none have hit the mark thus far. Let's hope the future brings out something that can fill this void.
