This is my first time leaving a review. I am a huge fan of Karisma so naturally I would be biased and my rating probably reflects that. I'm really shocked by all of the good reviews this show is getting. The show is done in hinglish and when the actors are saying the english lines it sounds like they are reading from a paper. so forced and unnatural. The show was really predictable and the acting was bad. There is some potential but they need to make it more desi instead of these rich wannabe American moms. The characters were so contrived and just OTT. It was interesting to see what India thinks Americans moms sound like. Too many dated cliches that no one has used for 30 + years.

URBAN MOTHERHOOD EXPLORED LIKE NEVER BEFORE !

MENTALHOOD REVIEW :-
Parenthood aka Motherhood is blessing. Is it really? A blessing can turn into hectic and so does Mentalhood... The rules of parenting have changed. Every mother has her own strategy and some have their own game, with only one aim - to be the best of the best. School life of childrens is one of those toughest period in every parent's life and kids doesn't even realise it untill they turn parents themselves. ZEE5 and AltBalaji collaborates to explore struggle and conflicts of parenthood in new webseries titled "Mentalhood"
Karisma Kapoor returns on screen with the bang. Obviously, this is not a silver screen but her impact felt till that level. Sandhya Mridul is outstanding as Ajo and you'll find her character so dashing yet innocent. Tilotima Shome and Shruti Seth have done well in thier roles of typical moms with having problems by thier husbands. Shilpa Shukla is bold, strong and commendable throughout the series. Dino Morea is the only male Mom in this series manages to leave an impact through his conviction as caring and responsible father. Sanjay Suri in the role of Karisma's husband too looks good. Child actors brings the innocent and naturality with thier cute faces.
The success story of Mentalhood lies within its writing. It gets going so easily with out daily life activities and we don't even realise when it turns ugly and we start feeling bad. I myself never realised that my Mother had faced so many issues while i growing up. Now it's time to acknowledge our parent's hardwork and thank them for doing so much for us. That's where Mentalhood celebrates its victory.
Director Bhawna Rawail takes you to the different world of Parenthood with the ease and convinces you to believe every small thing happening there. On screen showcase of Parenthood would have never got better than this and the credit goes to Producers and directors. Every single episode unfolds different chapter of Motherhood that we all experienced once but never recognised it as a problem. Mentalhood doesn't disappoint in any section of storytelling whether it is acting, writing, screenplay, music, production design and direction. Overall, Mentalhood is a blessing to watch. Motherhood explored like never before and most probably never again. This one deserves your take for your lovely parents.
RATING- 6/10*

A Comeback Opportunity to its Ensemble Cast
Hussain-AL-Naseer1 April 2020
The series marks the debut of Karisma Kapoor into Web series universe along with the ensemble cast which we haven't seen in a while including Dino Morea, Shilpa Shukla, Sanjay Suri, Sandhya Mridul, Tillotama Shome & Shruti Seth.
The series revolves around different types of mother's like working mother, Housewife's, separated including a single father to fulfill its responsibility as both a Father and a Mother, having different and multiple personal and domestic problems yet trying to become best for their children's. Series features the daily life race Moms indulge into for their children and how they handle different type of tantrums of their child's at different level of their ages.
Series follows back and forth with pattern of hits and misses.
Hits includes the grand scale production along with the performances of all the ladies as Mothers supported fairly by male casts as father's also I would like to mention Dino Morea who had both the charm and coolness for being a single dad.
Misses would follow the writing which wanted to cater multiple issues and segments within 10 episodes plot including Homosexuality and Surrogacy. Issues like child molestation was something that started off well but its drop scene was way too disappointing. If writers wanted to cater that diversified modern day issues, they could've just increased the number of episodes to fully justify what they opened with proper closing.
Also, series revolves around the Elite class of the society where everything could be the issue but the money but yet again it's from Balaji's and you can aspect this from them as they are portraying this glorified societies elite since 2000's and that to with a success.

Can't hear dialogues: sort out background music
gruvy-muvy10 March 2020
Reminiscent of issues-based sitcoms like 'Wagle ki Duniya' and 'Rajni' and 'Sheldon', except this one is about parenting and motherhood.
Good concept, but the godawful LOUD background music drowns the dialogues. And there are no subtitles on the Zee5 app (in March 2020).
All act decently, but Tillotama Shome is the saving grace.

Stereotypical!
sakhn-9842011 March 2020
It is cringeworthy. Loud, one-dimensional characters reinforcing typical stereotypes about women with children. The lead female characters unapologetically shame each other and use devaluing and toxic behaviour. This is not how adults communicate in a civil society. The characters have no concept of boundaries and self awareness. This show offers no new perspective on modern day challenges of motherhood instead it reinforces the stereotypes.

Rigged rating
anand-1478428 March 2020
As usual, Indian web series producers know the reason why shows are successful and hence the rating is meaningful..
Even after watching just 2 eps I can tell you this show's rating is <=5 at best!
Pls don't believe the 10/10
