Girl In The City Review

Girl in the city is a short crisp web series that centres around a young ambitious Meera Sehgal, a small town Dehradun girl with big dreams to be chased in the perfect city - Mumbai. The thirteen episode web series has two seasons that revolve around how a girl enters Mumbai as an outsider to pursue her ambitious fashion internship and lately a job at a leading brand but guess what? Mumbai being Mumbai and life being life has to offer her with her share of dilemmas, risks, opportunities, hectic work, parental pressure, anxieties, annoying bosses and lastly twisted love angles in relationships. Mithila Palkar, being the internet sensation with her super adorable chirpy persona steals our heart with her engaging performance as Meera Sehgal. Rajat Barmecha as the friendzoned roommate who ultimately confesses his love for Meera adds to a good romantic chemistry in season 1 and has a sizeable role in the second season too but by this time both Meera and he have met their real mates- Meera’s bosses!

Preethika Chawla as Areem - the high class –rich spoilt brat who feels an emotional cavity due to his brother’s prioritising business over her and Karanvir Sharma as a mature, overburdened yet a dotting brother seem to repel one another and often enter into arguments. As rich and orphan brother-sister duo , they have their own set of challenges and mood swings that affects their huge fashion franchise- House of Areem. Here’s when Meera steps to rescue the firm by making some hard choices and compromises that ultimately pay off well with her official launch as a designer! What is really sentimentally touching is the practical portrayal of situations and relations. Meera’s protective and supportive parents with progressive thoughts assures a viewer that everything is going to be fine and though standing at the crossroads of her professional life, Meera would find a way out being blessed with such caring family and friends. The content driven web series is worth a watch and much relatable if you have had those moments of self-realization as a growing adult who has begun to understand individuality.
