Wakalat From Home Review

When you look at this show, it’s something you’d immediately want to see. For starters, you know it’s relatable because it’s Wakalat From Home (WFH) and this is something we’ve all accepted as the new norm since almost everyone has moved to a work from home situation. Additionally, the web-series which released on 10 September on Amazon Prime Video has a lot of known names involved.

Having directed 4 Bollywood films like Kuch Naa Kaho (2003), Bluffmaster! (2005), Dum Maaro Dum (2011) and Nautanki Saala (2013), Rohan Sippy is the producer of the show along with his father Ramesh Sippy and when there are known producers involved, the expectations are higher. Similarly, we have names like Kubbra Sait and Gopal Datt in the cast. Keep reading for our Wakalat From Home web series review…

Wakalat From Home Plot

The one thing we’ve missed right through this lockdown is relatable content and that’s exactly what this show has tried to give us. All of us are busy with our Zoom calls and working from home and now, there’s this show made post pandemic and gives us situations we’re all used to seeing in the lockdown. The plot is basically a married couple (Sumeet Vyas, Nidhi Singh) filing for divorce while Datt and Sait play the lawyers of the couple!

In fact, the entire season revolves around accusations made to and fro between the husband and wife, and the lawyers trying to solve them in a humourous manner. We’d even go a step ahead and imagine and that the shooting for Wakalat From Home Amazon Prime could even have been done in remote locations, keeping up with norms of the pandemic and the nationwide lockdown. The Wakalat From Home cast adds to the fun of this series.

The show has the perfect size of episodes, lasting between 11-14 minutes each but our end verdict is that this could’ve been so much better. It took me 3 episodes before I could sport half a smile and that too because of the relatable situations and not because of the script itself. Overall, I’d rate it a 3.5/10 and only recommend a watch because you can get through the entire season within a couple of hours!

One saving grace for this show has to be Gopal Datt. We’re assuming he’s written his own lines because it can’t be a coincidence that all the funny lines were given to him. His character reminds you of Michael Scott from The Office, playing the notorious, carefree lawyer as Scott played office manager. Calling people by the wrong names, making controversial statements and more. We’d recommend watching it only for Mr.Gopal Datt! Some reactions:

Watched #WakalatFromHome on @PrimeVideoIN
It didn't seem like a web series. Cast is no doubt very talented, theme was also insightful but poor story and had expected out of the box dialogues. Couldn't watch it in one go and could have been better. 2/5
