Only For Singles Review

Being single is a blessing and a curse all at once It was about time that the webspace realized the potential of a comedy-drama series that glorifies singledom. 'Only for singles' strikes a good balance while portraying typical single people problems and making use of over the top scenarios to create humour. Struggling to make it a big in a restless metropoliton, grappling with relationships and lack of a comfortable living arrangement is something that most can resonate with.

Inculcation of interesting eccentric characters with well-formed character arcs comes off as a pleasant surprise. An impulsive ambitious rich girl -Ranjeeta (Deepti Sati) who just lost a close friend Mickey (Vivan Shah) decides to house him and his friends in a newly built apartment building "Ranjeeita" owned by her father as a resort to winning him back. Her plan goes awry and now all tenants of 'Ranjeeta' building must bear the fallout while fighting with their demons. Story development is fast-paced, and so many parallel storylines makes for an engaging experience.

The production design is well done, but the direction could use some work. While the central writing is mediocre with just a couple of good dialogues every once a while, the supporting characters on the other hand are poorly written and makes the overall experience annoying. There is apparent degradation in quality with each episode, but the show manages to stay afloat.

It can neither be strongly recommended nor strongly condemned.
