Hey Prabhu! Review

Tarun Prabhu is a millennial social media influencer who hasn’t yet come face to face with the hardships in life. After he gets a job at a prestigious magazine, he is pulled out of his comfort zone and has to work hard to stabilize his professional life, while also handling problems in his personal life at the same time. How Tarun handles all this is what forms the rest of the series.

'Hey Prabhu' is one of the rare web series that has an intelligent script and wants to handle the protagonist’s personal as well as work life with crackling speed and laser sharp precision. The screenplay’s intelligent and weaves an entirely believable day and life of a media intern. The screenplay also portrays the gender gap between the millennials and the business owners and parents in a non-preachy manner. There are some insights, like when Tarun experiences his first social media outing the same day that his mom wants him to delete a tweet that she considers personal – because one of their distant relatives follows Tarun on the social network.

'Hey Prabhu' also winds up the personal life and the professional life of the protagonist in a believable manner. The show is cleverly written, with witty jokes and dialogues sprinkled all over. It is also a commentary on the youth’s obsession with social media, and how it all seems perfect online, but real life is a struggle for everyone.
