All Guild Reviews of Call Me Bae
Ananya Panday Shines but Style Trumps Substance in Story
Created by Ishita Moitra and co-written by Samina Motlekar and Rohit Nair, Call Me Bae is a visually stunning series, where apt attention has been paid to sets and Bae’s costumes. The intent and ambition are right, but the execution not so much.
In Bella Chowdhary’s world, there’s no such thing as too many bags and in a world of fakes, she is on a path to become a Birkin. But it’s a path that she hasn’t chosen for herself, rather, a tragedy has led her there.
Outright Disaster
Laughably bad and ludicrous from start to finish, Karan Johar delivers another dud—this time for Amazon instead of Netflix.call-me-bae-2
In Call Me Bae—the new Amazon Prime Video series from Four More Shots Please! writer Ishita Moitra—an extraordinarily privileged coddled young woman falls from grace and ends up on the street. (Except she has enough ultra-expensive possessions that she could get by for years by selling them in the open market.) She stumbles her way into TV journalism and, bafflingly, lands the scoop of any reporter’s dreams on the first day of the job. (Moitra clearly has a soft spot for good-looking, fashionably dressed investigative journalists. After working with Sayani Gupta’s Damini Roy in Four More, she concocts another unlikely one in Ananya Panday’s Bella Chowdhary.) In doing so, Call Me Bae needlessly complicates its fish-out-of-water tale.
