beanie pls run away
sameerlodaya5 December 2020
How can u cast swara for stand up comedian the choice should be some bubbly energetic young female

Swara as usual she over acted and in some scenes she dint act at all

Same comedy dialogues were repeated which irritates u rather than giggling

Beanie pls run away

Totally Boring
tpatoliya5 December 2020
Bhaag Beanie Bhaag is a series of six episodes of about half an hour. In the beginning, it moves slowly. It continues to wander along with the wanderings of Beanie's life but eventually returns to the track.

When writers and directors start this series, it seems that they are under the tremendous influence of English comedy films and sitcoms.

This series is the story of a stand up comedian but if there is anything less in it then it is laughter. Although through many shows, Beanie's life has been shown to be moving forward, but you will never want to see her show after listening to her jokes.

This may be the story of a girl fulfilling her dreams, but I wish someone could tell that girl that she needs the ability to fulfill her dreams.

It is not a matter of everyone to do comedy and it is clear from the dialogues written for Beanie.

It is a very painful experience for the story to not be funny and to constantly watch the stand-up comedians on stage without jokes.

The casting of this series is perfect. The only problem is in the lead of the series. To support the rest of the story, Dolly Singh as a friend of the star, Varun Thakur as a fiancé, Mona Ambegaonkar as a parent, and Girish Karnad are all well placed in their roles.

Viewers will love watching Varun Thakur in a serious role apart from comedy. On the other hand, Ravi Patel, a character of Confusion who is more than a friend of Swara's sudden friend, also seems to be trying well.

As part of Mona Ambegaonkar and Girish Karnad, being the parents of Beanie , they have played as smoothly as they have come.

Dolly Singh is the only star of this series. You will be able to connect to them whenever they are on the screen.

Middle of the road...

Ravi Patel does a fine job. Swara Bhaskar would have been great if she was asked not to overact. The problem of the show is a bombed standup set is not just a bombed set, it has to be further embellished with a comedienne falling down and doing three more cringeworthy physical mess on the stage. In the latter half of the third episode, the protagonists play cricket on a beach where there is no cell phone connection. This particular 15 minutes is so much cringe, that you'd like to throw up. These superfluous meaningless embellishments do NOT work. And Swara practically commits to overacting in her every scene in the series.

I do not get why this is 2 stars rated, this deserves more like a solid 5 stars and trust me 5 stars are often worse than 2 stars in terms of wasting your time. Think about it.

Time waste
pradeep-347734 December 2020
I just watched the first episode and now cannot take it more. Swara bhaskar is not justifying the character at all. The director could have cast someone more realistic character. We already have lots of stand-up comedians who can easily catch up this role. overall for me it is a waste of time.

Not bad
gkpardeshi5 March 2021
It wasn't a sleek comedy but it had its moments. Swara's and Ravi's acting was good. I had fun watching it.

I really tried to sit through this
sunnyc94 December 2020
A show about stand up by people who have no clue about stand up. Bad casting. If people want to see a good show about stand up where a housewife turns to stand up and freaks out her family and dumps her husband, there is Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Which is well made, nuanced, terrific actors, well scripted. Why would someone want to watch a copy that too a bad copy of a non existent comedy scene. What the hell is the point of this show! Who is your audience? If its for the Americans, they have better fiction on stand up as they have a long lasting tradition of stand up. If this is made for Indians? Then well it was a waste as a more interesting take would be to show the way stand up scene is just taking off in India and why? Like who the hell is running NETFLIX in India? Fire them! One horrible show after the other this year! Thanks for wasting my time. I really tried to like or at least watch this show.

Fun, with some great nuances
qualitycontentmatters19 January 2021
Yet another well made Indian show on Netflix! Don't let the low ratings dissuade you from watching it.

It's all in the nuances. Indian Netflix shows are meant for the kind of person who appreciates the small but very important details in the dialogues and story.

This series yet again features an empowered woman and the pressures and micro aggressions she has to fight every single day just so she can do something she loves.

Beautiful acting. Light and funny. Really looking forward to the next season.

Don't waste your time
dmishra-933056 December 2020
Netflix should give some attention while selecting series. This is pathetic and since I have watched one episode Netflix should payback my money.

Okayish story with pathetic acting by Lead actress
atiharshsingh6 December 2020
Story was okay but the acting by the lead actress was atrocious. Dolly Singh did a good job though.. wish she was the leading lady. :/

Seems boring
asingh-772924 December 2020
The episodes are boring and actors need to work on real acting skills. Casting crew need to be more cautious choosing the cast, and not based on who is who's son or daughter. Also, the storyline needs some rewriting to make this series less clichéd.

Brilliant work by Swara Bhaskar
manavkum9 December 2020
And the brilliant team!!

It captures the pathos of Indian mindset where girl suppose to marry and settle and doesn't need to chase her dream as standup comedian.

Surprise entry of influencer friend and other characters played well too

Standup comedians' broken record is now getting annoying
shibenb7 December 2020
I watched the trailer, I got a hint what this will be, then I took a look at an episode and my hint got confirmed. This is a story which has been told millions of times in India since 2 decades and every stand-up comedian ever has played this broken record. If I could have a dollar every time it plays.

It is almost condescending that the same message is being pushed over and over with the mindset that either Indians are not understanding or that every Indian must become a standup comedian, because this has to be what everyone wants, right? NO! A lot of us aspire to be doctors and engineers, hate us all you want, we are not going away.

At this point I feel Ekta Kapoor and Standup Comedians have ironically become the status quo in entertainment, and a counter culture drive is needed to pull them down from their privilege.

On top of all this, It does not help that, Netflix as a platform, is a private company owned, instead of a market regulated one, because of which they force keep their mediocre produce to the top for an entire week. I find it disappointing that Netflix India has a very superficial and sometimes wrong interpretation of what people are looking for.

Stand up comedy
kanwarpals14 September 2021
Story of young aspiring stand up comic artist who leave her job just to become a comic and she had family who want her to get married to rich brat so they can relief themselves from her responsibilities, a fiance who love her but don't acknowledge the respect for her career choices, she ran away from marriage to just for a stand up comic night and another comedian see her and try to help her with her joke making, better her script, help her with certain other things and beanie thought that it love when truth came out about his wife and life issues then only she realised that something is wrong and 6 episode series have some real life struggle of stand up comic that after so many year we are still not able to find a steady audience for the career option.

Extremely poor direction and acting.
sritam_mohanty4 December 2020
Swara Bhaskar's acting is cringeworthy at best. Not to mention lack of imagination or any kind of originality in script. This is a very poor adaptation of Marvellous Mrs Maisel. A total disappointment from Netflix. To be avoided at all cost.

Swara shines but the script falters
ayandutta-887777 December 2020
The six episode series is not hilariously funny but it has its moments. Some punches are funny but some go totally flat. The star cast shines in this series. Swara, varun, dolly and ravi do a convincing job but the writer disappoints. And swara looked really beautiful in this series. One time watch

One star is for Girish and another one for Mona.
amitg-350069 December 2020
My review has been given for my favourite actors Girish and Mona, and both are very good performer all time. Otherwise, I don't have much interest to watch this series.
