I love Naseeruddin Shah and Ratna Pathak Shah as actors but the whole clan in a series on the back of Shah's recent short film at that is a bit much. Everyone seems to be sleepwalking or hamming. Wamiqa Gabbi does. Not have the chutzpah of a leading lady and her erratic punjabi accent appears sporadically. The series feels scattered. The lighting is terrible. The direction clumsy amd disineterested (never thought I will say this about a VB directorial. The BGM is generic - the sound design not that great. VB said in an interview he had Charlie break the 4th wall to make things immersive - probably influenced by Fleabag) but it is never used smartly - WG is no PWB - you need killer timing to ace this.
A disappointing subpar fare overall.
