OTT Review: Lavanya Tripathi’s Miss Perfect – Telugu Web Series on Disney Plus Hotstar

Telugu romantic comedy web series Miss Perfect starring actress Lavanya Tripathi and Abijeet Duddala is now streaming on Disney Plus Hotstar. Read our review to learn more about the 8-episode series.

History:

After a heartbreak, management consultant and OCD fan Lavanya Rao (Lavanya Tripathi) moves from Delhi to Shanti Nilayam’s apartment in Hyderabad. During the COVID-19 chaos, his maid Jyoti (Abhignya Vuthaluru) asks him to inform Rohit Varma (Abijeet Duddala), a software engineer who lives in the same apartment, about his absence from work. Rohit mistakes her for her maid. Later, Lavanya becomes the servant Laxmi. They both develop feelings for each other. What happened after? Why didn’t Lavanya reveal her identity? Did Rohit realize who she is? What happened in the end is the story we need to see on the small screen.

Plus Points:

After a serious debut in Puli Meka, Lavanya Tripathi gives a fun turn to her character in this romantic comedy series, portraying someone with a strong penchant for cleanliness. Her performance is both decent and entertaining, and showcases her acting prowess effectively.

Abijeet Duddala, in the pivotal role of Rohit, significantly enhances the plot with a commendable performance. His charisma adds an attractive touch to the character.

Abhignya, who plays a vivacious maid, effortlessly injects humor into Miss Perfect, making it an enjoyable watch. Mahesh Vitta and Harshavardhan, along with the supporting cast, deliver satisfying performances.

Bad points:

Despite its potential, Miss Perfect lacks the necessary and crucial situational comedy to connect with the audience in a romantic comedy. The series missed a valuable opportunity to infuse more comic elements, an oversight by writers Francis Thomas and Shruti Ramachandran and director Vishvak Khanderao.

While the opening episodes effectively set the stage, the subsequent proceedings lack the desired impact. The narrative fails to explore the full potential for drama and comedy between the main characters, leaving a feeling of unfulfilled potential.

The subtrack involving Harshavardhan and Jhansi introduces obstacles to the plot, and the climactic episodes could have been more compelling in elevating the series from decent to exceptional.

Jyothi’s character, played by Abhignya, lacks emotional depth in her family situations. Also, the director could have maximized the use of Mahesh Vitta and Harsh Roshan for more impactful comic elements.

Technical aspects:

Vishvak Khanderao has done a satisfactory job as a director. However, writers Francis Thomas and Shruti Ramachandran’s greater emphasis on situational comedy and drama could have significantly improved the romantic comedy series. However, his commitment to creating a wholesome, family-friendly romantic comedy deserves recognition.
Prashant R Vihari’s music and Aditya Javvadi’s camera work effectively contribute to the series. While the editing is generally acceptable, making adjustments mid-episodes could improve the overall viewing experience. The commendable production quality is a testament to the dedicated team behind the scenes.

Verdict:

Overall, Miss Perfect, an 8-episode romantic comedy series, isn’t all that “perfect” but it offers a good number of entertaining moments. Lavanya Tripathi, Abijeet and Abhignya give decent performances. However, the lack of situational comedy, occasional slow pacing, and an unnecessary subtrack pose challenges. If you’re looking for a family-friendly series and can overlook these aspects, Miss Perfect is a suitable choice for weekend viewing – keep your expectations in check.
