I get it, teenagers are drawn to shows that reflect on their secretive desires and emotions, but at this point, college relationships seem to be the only original idea production teams manage to muster. The webspace is already flooded with cutesy shows, and 'College Romance' does nothing extraordinary to stand out from its counterparts.

'College Romance' is focused on a gang of three 3 friends (2 guys and a girl, surprise surprise) and their journeys on the primrose path of dalliance. Story lines are weak, scattered and lack focus. For the most part, dialogues are the same overused and worn out familiar cliches, just like the unimaginative characters. Performances aren't effortless and feel unnatural.

The show seems to be forcefully put together, as an attempt to just push more content out into the space and garner views with a catchy title and low-effort haste. My advice is to steer clear of this college romance until you've exhausted the incessant list of so many others out there.

A mini web series, with episodes no longer than 10 minutes on average, You me and galatfehmi is an interesting take on shortcomings in human nature that leave us jealous, insecure or worse -skeptical. Each episode follows a formulaic pattern and the show begins with one of the partners being suspicious about something completely harmless that their better half said or did. 'Galtfehmi', soon comes into play and starts concocting all sorts of unreasonable conclusions.

The format is humourous, writing is on point but nothing that is unheard of. Performances are just good enough. Although It is comforting to hear absurd spiral of thoughts out loud, that every human brain tends to drift into, if, given the liberty, a need for refinement to the overall sketches is apparent.

Extremely sweet like the Gujjus are, Metro park delivers some stellar performances and out of the box punches that are thoughtful and thought-provoking. Following the life of Patel family, first generation immigrants living in an area called Metro park in America. Kalpesh Patel (Ranvir Shorey) owns a convenience store and his wife Payal (Purbi Joshi) owns a hair salon while their kids own no rights to question their quirky Indian ways of living life.

Trying to cling hard to their Indian-ness especially when the definition of culture has become foggy and ambiguous, Kalpesh is all about smart and selective adaptation. From dragging down a picture of Jesus over Goddess Laxmi's photo(to help prevent robberies) to E-havan with a swanky Pundit, the show is brim-full of hilarious moments that reflect so well on the interesting melange of two diametrically opposite cultures - Indian and American. Impressive writing takes the center stage followed by great direction and production design.

The cast is successful at showcasing well developed, rich characters that hook you on from the beginning with their offbeat ways. The show is a great reminder of how culture doesn't define people, but people define culture. Metro Park is a piece of art only to be held in highest of regards.

Home sweet office is a refreshing welcome amongst the sea of endless romance based productions. Adhira (Barkha Singh) and Shagun (Isha Talwar), are cousins who have started their own wedding planning business. As the title suggests their office is based in the corner of a room in their family house. While they work tirelessly to professionalize their newfangled venture, emotions often seep in as they grapple with family, relationships and profit equations.

The show is well written, but nothing out of the ordinary. Shows with better performances exist, but that doesn't belittle what this show offers. Characters are amicable and make you want to find more about them. Supporting characters are well thought of. From a charming ex-boyfriend to a hip understanding father, or a little too commandeering mother, there is a lot to look forward to in the show.

It's an entertaining enough experience with a unique plot but could use a faster pace of narration as segments do feel dragged at times.

Casting Vikrant Messey is inarguably the best decision ALTBalaji has made in long time. His portrayal of a guilt ridden man, who is broken and distraught is indeed beautiful. Veer (Vikrant Messey) lost his wife during an accident of the car that he was driving, and since that accident, he feels nothing but remorse. He grapples with the prospect of moving on and trying to find himself beyond his now shattered, once ideal life.

The sheer depth in characters is a great relief from alt Balaji's typical teenage dramas and for once they seem to have an ace up their sleeves. As the story continues in a well-paced narrative, Veer (Vikrant Massey) stumbles upon Sameera (Harleen Sethi) in his newly rented apartment, who has been described as "the psycho ex" by his cousin. While the title "psycho" may not hold much truth, but she is quite guilty for being caring and considerate. Veer and Sameera's first few encounters aren't exactly amicable but bunch of misunderstandings bring them together.

Despite all the pain, agony and dark emotions it deals with, the show never feels gloomy. Aptly employed comic relief keeps the ethos of the show light; and the multidimensional characters keep it close to reality. It's a great watch for any romance/drama enthusiast.

Being single is a blessing and a curse all at once It was about time that the webspace realized the potential of a comedy-drama series that glorifies singledom. 'Only for singles' strikes a good balance while portraying typical single people problems and making use of over the top scenarios to create humour. Struggling to make it a big in a restless metropoliton, grappling with relationships and lack of a comfortable living arrangement is something that most can resonate with.

Inculcation of interesting eccentric characters with well-formed character arcs comes off as a pleasant surprise. An impulsive ambitious rich girl -Ranjeeta (Deepti Sati) who just lost a close friend Mickey (Vivan Shah) decides to house him and his friends in a newly built apartment building "Ranjeeita" owned by her father as a resort to winning him back. Her plan goes awry and now all tenants of 'Ranjeeta' building must bear the fallout while fighting with their demons. Story development is fast-paced, and so many parallel storylines makes for an engaging experience.

The production design is well done, but the direction could use some work. While the central writing is mediocre with just a couple of good dialogues every once a while, the supporting characters on the other hand are poorly written and makes the overall experience annoying. There is apparent degradation in quality with each episode, but the show manages to stay afloat.

It can neither be strongly recommended nor strongly condemned.

This show posses a rare characteristic that almost every other show out in web space seem to deliberately skip, a characteristic called ingenuity. I was hooked on to the show within first 20 seconds, and that alone speaks volume about its quirky storyline and a great narrative. This underrated piece is an ideal amalgamation of humor, heavy emotions and relatable eccentricities.

Isha (Samridhi Dewan), a dreamy-eyed doofus, obsessed with the idea of 'prince charming,' has her life in shambles within a week. First, her boyfriend of 7 years breaks up with her just before a surprise proposal. Then she gets fired from her job and loses her apartment. While the stars are all aligned against her, she manages to secure a date credit to tinder and her best friend's resolute aim to pull her out of this rut. It is on this date she first encounters a wacky life coach Simarjeet Sabherwal (Sushmita Mukherjee) who claims to transform her life. Interestingly, Simarjeet refers to Isha as "poppet", a word as fun as their brilliant performances.

Writing is genius, so is the direction and editing. The show employs an elegant and intelligent sense of humor and can be rightly described as a flawless entertainer.

This Zoom studio's original web series has impressive performances, modern jargon, and progressive outlook. It isn't every day we see bridesmaids being replaced by an all guy 'bride squad' and a bachelorette being replaced by an exotic vacation. The holiday isn't just limited to friends, clubs, and parties. It's about complicated relationships and tangled bonds.

It all starts when Mehak's (Adah Sharma) guy squad consisting of Armaan (Aashim Gulati), Patrick (Priyank Sharma), and Kabir (Veer Rajwant Singh) book an escape to Mauritius just before her wedding. All the actors do a good enough job and steer clear of ostentatious portrayals. None of that, however, is distracting enough to cover up for the similarities between the holiday and 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara'. Sure, the characters have been completely reinvented, the general idea still remains alarmingly close to a bachelorette turned soul-searching trip for the 3 childhood friends.

So far the loud and vibrant party vibe has been bright enough to cheer up a tiresome day but the lack of deeper dwelling into the headspace and personal struggles of characters remains in question. Regardless, I'll be on the lookout for subsequent episodes.

This murder mystery carried out in a third-person narrative where the victim guides us through her life with a voiceover is a mediocre production at best. It's a story about a group of some of the most mysterious people with dark secrets that are better left undug. From filthy rich brats to over competitive MBA's and Supermodels, the group might seem an interesting conglomeration, but as the show preaches , looks can deceive. The protagonists are too familiar and unimaginative.

There are a lot of plots running simultaneously, all leading ultimately up to the bewildering murder of their friend Kaushiki (Sayani Gupta). Concurrent plot lines occasionally make for a gripping experience but performances are sub-par and so are the dialogues. Production design and direction are average as well. Segues are long and redundant.

For a murder mystery, it fails to make for a thrilling, edge of the seat experience and can be watched only to kill a few hours.

MR and MRS is a short web series capturing conversational exchange between a new age man and wife. Usual themes of the episode are relatable and true to reality. Conversational topics range anywhere from house parties to in-laws and narrate a tale of the difference of opinion between the couple. Their feud generally ends with husband conceding or unsuccessfully justifying something insensitive he did.

The conversations are meaningful, characters likable and performances convincing. Humor is tasteful, writing is crisp and steers clear of cliches. The short sketch format is ideal for product placement which is almost seamlessly carried out. There is a good use of solid punchlines and witty remarks.

Sketches are fun, entertaining and worthwhile.
