Call Me Bae Review: Style Over Substance, Ananya Shines

Review: Call Me Bae Trailer – All Style, No Substance

Call Me Bae trailer released on YouTube with Ananya Panday portraying the lead role of Bae.

After watching the trailer for Ananya Panday’s new series Call Me Bae, it’s hard not to feel a bit underwhelmed. The show seems more interested in showcasing fashion and luxury than telling a meaningful story. The idea of a rich girl suddenly having to live like an ordinary person could have been interesting, but here it just feels unrealistic and hollow.

Ananya Panday does a solid job as Bae in Call Me Bae, she’s charming and effortlessly slips into the role. It’s clear she’s having fun with it, and her comic timing is spot on. But she seems stuck in a role that doesn’t really give her much to work with. Bae is essentially just a slightly more refined version of Kareena Kapoor’s Poo from K3G or Alia Bhatt’s Shanaya from Student of the Year, atleast what i find. There’s nothing particularly fresh or exciting about the character or the story. Imagine K3G or Student Of The Year with just Poo or Shanaya. We’re they worth the screentime?

The Call Me Bae series looks like it’s going to be all about the glitz and glamor, with plenty of designer clothes and stylish settings. But beyond that, there’s not much substance. Imagine, a privileged girl trying to navigate a middle-class life feels more like a fantasy than anything relatable. It’s hard to take it seriously when Bae is freaking out about taking an auto or trying to hold down a job—it just doesn’t feel real.

Seems like Karan Johar is stuck in the fantasy of Poo and Shanaya and believe that such a character is worth carrying a whole project.

Even with Karan Johar backing the series, it’s doubtful that Call Me Bae will find a large audience, even on OTT platforms. If it had been released in theaters, it probably would have badly tanked. The show seems too focused on looking good rather than telling a strong story, and that’s going to make it hard for viewers to connect.

In the end, Call Me Bae feels like just another series that’s all about style over substance. While Ananya Panday does her best with what she’s given, the lack of a strong script means this show is likely to be forgotten soon after it airs.

For those unaware, Call Me Bae is slated to release on 6th September on Amazon Prime Videos. It is worth watching it only if you belond to the fashion world or page 3 world for a reason.

Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar tried casting Aishwarya Rai Bachchan but continued missing till Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

Bollywood is full of stories that make you wonder, “What if?” One such story revolves around Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Karan Johar—two powerhouses in the industry who, for years, almost worked together on some of the most iconic films of our time.

Back in the early 2000s, Karan Johar was gearing up for his next big film, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. He had Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in mind for the role of Anjali, the lively and lovable character who eventually became synonymous with Kajol. Karan Johar, being close to Kajol, initially assumed that she would be too busy with her newly married life to take on the role. Aishwarya, with her beauty and acting chops, seemed like a perfect fit. But, before finalizing anything, Karan decided to narrate the script to Kajol one last time, just out of respect for their friendship.
