Reception
Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express rated it 2.5 stars out of 5 and stated that "Ananya Panday's show is self-aware to the right degree by sending itself up just enough, not letting self-righteousness weigh its exaggerations down. It’s only when it starts getting too woke and serious that it bites off more than it can chew."[9] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV also gave 2.5 stars out of 5 and said "Ananya Panday etches out a relatable figure who is worth rooting for".[10] Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com rated 3.5 stars out of 5 and gave a positive response saying "Call Me Bae is a spirited new addition in guilty pleasures for the fashion-loving, rom-com starved soul".[11] Shilajit Mitra of The Hindu criticised the writing of the series, saying "Aiming for the snacky frivolity of Western sitcoms, this riches-to-rags comedy, led by Panday and Vir Das and created by Ishita Moitra, needed better writing".[12] Devansh Sharma of Hindustan Times stated in his review that "Ananya Panday owns her privilege in Ishita Moitra, Collin D'Cunha's self-deprecatory show that grows to have a purpose like its protagonist."[13] Archika Khurana of The Times of India rated 3.5 stars stated in her conclusion that "Call Me Bae is a stylish comedy-drama that stands out by frequently mocking its absurdities, adding an element of self-aware humor. While the show boasts strong performances and high production values, it doesn’t offer much new storytelling."[14]
