Medically Yourrs Review

Abir Basu (Shantanu Maheshwari) is an unemotional and nonchalant boy born in a family of doctors. His father (Bijay Anand), also the best surgeon in town, wants him to be a doctor while he aspires to be a musician. Nibedita (Nityami Shirke) is Abir’s childhood friend but also his biggest competition and his father’s favourite. To remove his competition, Abir plays his tricks and tries to bog down ‘keetabi keeda’ Nibedita by setting her up with college dropout Akash. Meanwhile, he finds a way of getting better grades by giving sexual favours to his teacher played by Shruti Bapna.

Amidst all this, director Abhijit Das delves into the chaotic student life which is messed up because of upcoming mock tests and final examinations and not due to some ‘intra-collge sports competition’. We get to see a variety of students, from bookworms, overachievers, daydreamers to party animals. Das manages to capture the drama of campus life beyond its wild parties, rich vs poor fights and love triangles.

In terms of acting, Shantanu Maheshwari manages to pull off his chocolate boy role and Nityami Shirke is also good as a coy, intelligent and anxious college-goer. Shruti Bapna, as always, impresses with her performance and Bijay Anand once again aces his role of an over achieving father.

The series is hard-hitting dose of nostalgia for all the college-goers and more for the ones who have lived the hostel life. All the jugaads Abir and his friends come up with makes you laugh out loud at the absurdity yet relatability of it all. And that’s the crux and the redeemable factor of Medically Yourrs, it’s relatable and real to a whole new level, no pretense or fantasies. Medically Yourrs is a fresh breath of air, a fun take on MBBS that is entertaining and enlightening. Worth a watch.
