Bella Bae Chowdhary isn’t just wealthy; she’s dripping in diamonds. Her family’s fortune is so vast, it’s like a never-ending treasure trove. But unlike many rich girls, Bae longs for more than just luxury. She wants independence, love, and a sense of purpose. Her mother, however, has other plans. She’s determined to find Bae a suitable husband, someone who can maintain her lavish lifestyle. But Bae has her own ideas. She’s ready to break free from her gilded cage and discover who she really is.
With Ananya Panday in the lead, Call Me Bae is a light-hearted comedy about a rich girl’s journey to self-discovery. Panday delivers a charming performance, capturing Bae’s wit, vulnerability, and determination. The show is filled with humor, fashion, and drama. There are plenty of laughs as Bae navigates the challenges of her life, from dealing with her demanding mother to navigating the complexities of love and relationships.
While the show is primarily a comedy, it also touches on serious issues like misogyny and sexism. However, the show’s approach to these topics is often too heavy-handed, detracting from the overall tone. The climax of the show is a bit of a disappointment, with the plot taking a sudden and unexpected turn. The focus shifts to a serious investigation, which feels out of place in a light-hearted comedy.
Lastly, we can say that despite all its flaws, the show – Call Me Bae is a fun and entertaining watch. Ananya Panday’s performance is a highlight, and the show offers a glimpse into the world of the ultra-rich. You may find the ratings as lower, yet if you are Ananya’s fan, it is a must watch for you. So, all the best and enjoy the show.
