Divorce Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega Review: In their quest to mock the workings of news channels, creators of films and web series often oversimplify the complexities of the industry. Without proper research, they end up ridiculing their own content rather than offering meaningful satire. Unfortunately, ‘Divorce Ke Liye kuch bhi Karega’ falls into the same trap, wasting a promising concept. 

Divorce Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega storyline

The series revolves around two individuals working at a news channel: Anshu, a junior employee, and Nikki, a senior anchor. Both are ambitious, aiming to secure the coveted position of a prime-time news anchor. Their professional rivalry takes an unexpected turn when circumstances lead to their marriage. What follows forms the crux of the narrative, streaming now on ZEE5. 

How is the series?

Set against the backdrop of a news channel, the series struggles with its authenticity. The depiction of newsroom dynamics is far from realistic. From the channel owner standing on tables demanding ideas to absurd promises like making a peon a prime-time anchor, the portrayal borders on juvenile. The lack of research is evident, and what could have been a sharp romantic comedy instead feels like an exaggerated circus. A stint of newsroom internships for the creators could have added much-needed realism to the narrative. 

Performances 

Abigail Pande shines in her role as a news anchor, effectively showcasing the attitude often associated with real-life TV journalists. Rishabh Chaddha also delivers a commendable performance. However, the rest of the cast is limited to minor roles that fail to leave a mark. 

Direction 

Ankush Bhatt’s direction is average at best. A deeper understanding of newsroom operations could have elevated the series from mere comedy to something more mature and relatable. Instead, the humour feels forced, leaning towards cheap laughs rather than genuine wit. 

Verdict 

While the premise had potential, the execution falls flat, reducing the series to a mediocre attempt at romantic comedy with a newsroom twist. This one’s strictly average and can be skipped unless you’re looking for light, unchallenging entertainment.
