Bombae Review

It would be unfair to call the show bad or repulsive, but calling is good wouldn't be true either. Although the title is completely irrelevant to the storyline, thankfully the story and performances complement each other well.

Bombay is a story about the lives of 4 people. Rahul (Mohit Digambar), a successful but lonely IT engineer. His friend and roommate Sudeep (Saad Chaudhary), a struggling director. Shruti (Vidhi Chitalia), a top-level employee at an IT firm but bad at relationships when it comes to her personal life and her roommate Neena (Kshitija Saxena), a newbie to the big city. Both the pairs have moved into opposite flats in an apartment building. In the first look, everything seems pretty innocuous, but here's the surprise, Rahul and Shruti are in a relationship and so are Sudeep and Neena. Apartment owners' reluctance to rent flats to unmarried couples, prompt them into devising this plan of renting flats nearby. The series narrates their experiences and struggles so far, leading them into their current arrangement.

Besides choppy writing and mediocre production design, performances aren't all bad but there's nothing that stands out either. My final thoughts and initial thoughts about the show, however, remain consistently meh. This can be included in a watchlist but should be put at the extreme bottom.
