Medically Yourrs Review

This Alt Balaji original targeted at the young adults is at best entertaining and really nothing more, that too, only if one chooses to refrain from searching logic. The series feast on stereotypes, and presents no effort in trying to be original. The show could have benefited from focusing more on writing and storytelling rather than asserting a series of random out of context catchphrases and glorified profanities to grab attention of "cool" teenagers.

The idea of Shantanu Maheshwari in the role of Mr. popular and privileged casanova- Abir Basu, son of a surgeon and student at KIMS ( Kolkata Institute of Medical Science) isn't absurd and he does as good a job as his innocent visage allows him to. He is smug and unpredictable, most of his actions are doltish and cynical and his best friend Nibedita (Nityami Shirke) accommodates with his tantrums while trying to maintain her high academic standards. The episodes follow their lives along with what horrors a medical college cast upon already worked up medicine students. Characters are uni-dimensional and seem mechanical in their operational behavior.

It would be unfair to expect high-quality art or magnificent screenplay out of the show, but it can be rated high on fatuous entertainment. Afterall, isn't that all a target viewer is looking for anyway? Some goofy distraction to get a little giggle here and there and an 'aw' moment every once in a while.
