Hey Prabhu! Review

'Hey Prabhu!' does precisely curates certain some shiny elements just to attract young crowd, but it is powered by impressive writing at the heart. It's a palatable blend of "cool" twitter-ing superficiality and a meaningful plot and characters.

Tarun Prabhu (Rajat Barmecha), an average Joe with a passion for writing just got hired as an intern for a reputed media company 'croissant', solely because of an ace up his sleeve, the fact that he is a social media influencer with over a hundred thousand followers makes him an indispensable entity for his technologically backward employer, Mita (Achint Kaur). Mita is a conscientious editor, a perfectionist and a strong proponent of the classics. She feels her work ethics to be too pure to acknowledge a charade like Instagram or twitter flooding with amateur content. Mita is an interesting study and a multidimensional character like most well-developed characters in the show. Tarun grapples with work and his personal life on his journey to voice himself as a serious writer.

Inarguably, the best part of the show has to be casting. The fact that Tarun is a pretty regular guy and not some steroid riddled hunk, makes for a very resonating and real experience. The show is witty, engrossing and leaves you wondering what happens next. It's a great watch with a light-hearted disposition.
