Reception

According to a review of Scroll.in by Nandini Ramnath entitled "...Just say 'non'", calling it "...the vapid and barely funny Hindi remake" and referring to "... the ART talent company in Mumbai." Ramnath pointed out that the "...company is located in the southern end of the city, far away from the northern suburbs where much of Hindi cinema is created. It's the first sign of just how delinked the remake is from reality". [4] A review by Cinema Express by Shilajit Mitra entitled "...An amateurish series that puts fun on hold", secondly entitled "Four talent agents bug their clients — and us — in this Netflix series". Opening with "Netflix India has been banging away at a genre it thinks is ultra lucrative: the film industry comedy. It's a tough sell" and concluding "These agents need critics... someone to tell them they aren't any good". [5] As noted by Pinkvilla review by Radhika Seth; "Waited for this moment for so many years", her performance lauded by fans. [6] According to a Dmtalkies review by Anoushka Sinha; "While the star-studded episodes manage to pique the audience's interest in the show, it fails to make them deeply connect with the agents who are core to the storyline. Except for a few cliché comments on how "ruthless this industry gets" or the minimal attention given to the lives of struggling actors, the series misses out on most things that the audience would like to know about Bollywood." [7]
