One comment read, “It’s a mix of Emily in Paris, 2 Broke Girls, and Schitt’s Creek!”
Another user shared, “It sounds like 2 Broke Girls,” and someone else noted, “It seems to copy 2 Broke Girls and Schitt’s Creek.”

One user mentioned, “It seems like 2 Broke Girls, but I’m still enjoying it. Especially the clever pun with ‘majboori’! Don’t let the hate get to you.”
Trailer Review: Exaggerated Acting and 2 Broke Girls Vibes in Call Me Bae
The trailer begins with Ananya talking about her luxurious life and privilege until she suddenly loses everything. She finds out that her bank cards are declined because her status has dropped to below middle-class.
Later, Ananya struggles in Mumbai while searching for jobs. She tries to become a social media journalist and even has to clean her own apartment. She finds city life very challenging. At the end of the trailer, she shares her difficulties with a security guard, who responds, “Your struggle is what our dreams are made of.” The trailer finishes with Ananya’s character saying, “Where have I heard that one before?” This hints at Siddhant Chaturvedi’s well-known comments about nepotism and struggle.
