The series offers a mix of comedy, drama, and social commentary. While it starts strong with a compelling premise, some critics feel that the narrative becomes somewhat scattered as it progresses.

Although there are some flaws in the show , like the character Varun Sood plays is a gym trainer but he suddenly becomes a IT hacker which is a bit absurd. Ananya Pandey’s father is always in a panic mode and absent in the show . Ananya Pandey’s character is in a confused state of mind where she is in love with her boss Neel Nair but she dreams of her husband too . Its a confusion which continues till the end . The makers of the web series have left an open ended end here probably for a Season 2 opening . 

Overall, Call Me Bae is an enjoyable, light watch that leans into its absurdities, offering a mix of laughs and drama. It’s particularly recommended for those looking for a feel-good show with a modern take on a riches-to-rags story.
