A series with Good concept
tpatoliya11 September 2020
The most special concept is. Earlier videos and series on YouTube have been shot at home. Much has been seen during the lockdown as well.

But the new series of Amazon Prime Video has served this concept in a completely different way. Nowhere do you think it was shot at home.

Anubhav Pal's writing is also excellent. It is also special that in the series there is no opportunity to do more than writing.

It is very difficult to produce situational comedy in front of the camera without moving. The comedy itself is quite a difficult genre.

His writing brings a lot of standup feeling, which also laughs according to jokes' timing and punch.

Wakaalat from Home web series is shortened. An episode in a series of 10 episodes is 15 minutes. In this case it does not put a load on you.

Working on the new concept in lockdown is a big thing in itself. However, you will see some drawbacks after this.

It also has the merit of actors, who have technically given such a good performance. Nidhi Singh (Radhika) and Sumit Vyas (Shujin) have previously appeared together in permanent roommates.

There is a flow in the acting of both. Sometimes you may find Nidhi Singh's acting mildly over.

Kubra Sait (Rajni) is back with absolutely fresh acting. Kubra's Flow breaks in a few episodes in between.

But the most noticed among all this is Gopal Dutt in the character of Lobo Tripathi. He has looked absolutely natural.

Rohan's direction is also correct. Have managed to use small things. Wakaalat From Home web series is the great effort of Anubhav Pal and Rohan Sippy.

Wakaalat from Home series is a good comedy web series. The early episodes are going to make you laugh a lot. There will be a slight lockdown in the middle. But in the end, the laughter is unlocked once again

Effective presentation
pubgmamita11 September 2020
Creating 100 minute series with barely four actors and that too only on live cam (kind of meeting) is not a easy task.Creators has taken all into consideration

You will not get bored by watching this, they made it very interesting and all actors has done fantastic job as they are performing just via facial expression which is very difficult task, specially Nidhi and Sumeet are fabulous.

Verdict worth watching

Timepass

Plot :- WKH is the collection of video call recordings of divorce hearings of a young couple portrayed in a light hearted comical manner.

Review Wakaalat From Home is the latest series which has been shot entirely in Lockdown. Creativity of indian creators is glaringly visible in such series. WKH is a satire on the changing dynamics of a young couple's relationship and the attempts for settlement of their lawyers. The lawyers bring life to the show with the humour and stupidity. Almost every line is treated as a punchline and is told in a humorous way. But, these one liners become a bit monotonous after a time and series starts to become boring. That's when the end of show comes near and a few cameos enlighten the screen which helps the viewers to complete the show. Gopal Dutt and Sumeet Vyas are superb and are the reasons for all the smiles generated. Overall, WKH is not a bad watch for 2½ hours of pure entertainment. Rating :- 7.5/10

Interesting plot yet lacking magic.
priyankamishra-2328827 September 2020
A joyful plot that appears stretched beyond necessity. Fantastic concept. The beginning grip couldn't be sustained until the ending. Climax rolls interesting. Several punches are extremely crazy and expertly delivered by Sumeet, as always! This man is amazing with his expressions. Nidhi did a wonderful job in place but something left wanting of her potential that she had established herself. Kubbra and Gopal also served deliciously. A cameo by Akarsh is just amazing. Overall, this could have been crafted a more delightful treat witnessing the Tvf benchmark.

Good Idea but execution wasn't upto the mark
saurebhgandle12 September 2020
Acting wise Nidhi Singh is very good. Kubra Sait fine along with Gopal Dutt and Sumeet Vyas. Editing needed to be sharp. Dialogues also should have been more humorous. It has some good moments but those fails to evoke laughter. Execution fell flat. Screenplay cannot hold audience attention for all ten episodes despite the fresh story or attempt.

Review from home
journovaibhav10 September 2020
Don't read too many reviews, don't put it off for later. Watch this show right now. This smart comedy is very breezy and episodes are perfectly paced. It seems like something very novel from above but at the core it's as classic as your Dekh Bhai Dekhs and Sarabhai vs Sarabhai. Very well written and 75% of the the actors were good. Do watch the credits.

No comedy, very bad writing
himistrings10 September 2020
To begin with, when you show a legal proceeding always be well versed with some basic facts. Shoe started with a divorce proceeding saying that its an Arbitration case. Arbitration never takes place in Matrimonial cases, it is mediation which happens in these cases. In a second scene it says its a mediation. I mean what is going on, your whole concept is on legal background and your basics are so weak. In the name of comedy dont serve nonsense. Didn't laugh a bit. Bad show bad writing.

No words for the stupidity.
jandialadi14 September 2020
The only good thing about the show is that the episodes are 15 minutes which means you will realize your mistake early on itself. I wasted almost an hour on this before shutting it off.

I am pretty sure this sounded like a good idea on paper but implementation just kicked the concept down the drain. The only person who did some minor amount of justification to the character was kubra sait. Others wore their buffoonery act.

Surely give it a miss

Talented cast, no story, no humor
gamesinfoprofile16 September 2020
An excellent opportunity that was badly executed. The actors are good, but without a decent script, it feels tedious, unfunny and it makes you wonder why it was ever made.

Clearly a Headache!
talk2rik21 September 2020
I don't think I should even write review on this because this is clearly not worth watching. Concept is terrible, storyline is poor, presentation is inadequate and most importantly, there is no humor. Trust me, no humor at all. Only the good thing is the acting and the cast here. Sumeet Vyas, Nidhi Singh, Gopal Datt, Kubbra Sait. That's it! Nothing else.

I'm so upset right now after watching this. I don't know why every creator sees Sumeet and Nidhi as a couple in Permanent Roommates, and everyone copies the same rhythm of writing acts. All creators are not same and also, not always we want to see them fighting, right?

The subject was good and it started well but then it was lost

They tried to be humorous but It was not all hilarious I don't know how people have given 10 stars

After 5 episodes it became lousy and the subject was lost

Poor Script and story
anijonnybravo200924 November 2021
The story was not up to the mark. The twist in between (mom, dad) was very abrupt and having no connections later in the story. The puns were not hard hitting as well. Overall, a waste of time.
