THE FABULOUS LIVES OF BOLLYWOOD WIVES

Rating: 2 out of 5.

Before jumping into the review can we take a moment to appreciate the wardrobe of each and every lead actress and even KJo not the less. I’ve seen many negative comments regarding this show but to be honest I found this show really entertaining. Though it has its own parts of monotonous and meticulously elaborated drama it was still very fun to watch.

The impact that the promo created was to show a glimpse into the inner lives of the wives of the Bollywood superstars but somehow it gave everything other than this. It seemed like an Indian version of “ Keeping Up With the Kardashians”. We cannot see a proper destination to where the mini television series is taking us too.

The women casting starts with Maheep Kapoor, then comes Seema Khan with Bhavna Panday and lastly enters Neelam Kothari Soni. We can see the women dangling with the personal growth issue aligned with their duties as their mothers. Their relationship with their husbands seemed super staged.

Maheep Kapoor is seen totally focused on the career of her daughter and how she should tackle things ahead as she’s leaping into the Bollywood business.

Seema Khan is battling between finding her new self, her passion and her children.

Bhavna Panday is seen giving her experiences and all together seen a bit off apart from her superstitious and a loggerhead with Seema Khan.

And lastly Neelam Kothari Soni is in dilemma about whether she should return to do movies or not.

The locations shown are mere distractions to the point that there is nothing much to carry on the story with. They go to Paris for the Le Bal and then they top it off with Doha. We can see many actors in the party hosted by Gauri Khan.

This series shows nothing but Glamour! Glamour! Glamour!

This is a show in which you can love it or hate it but you cannot ignore it.

Currently streaming on Netflix.
