Anandibaa Aur Emily is an Indian daily comedy drama[1] series created by Vipul D. Shah under Optimystix Entertainment.[2] Starring Jazzi Ballerini, Mishkat Varma, and Kanchan Gupta, it premiered on 4 July 2022 on StarPlus.[3]

Premise

The show revolves around Emily, a Western daughter-in-law married to Aarav, and Anandibaa, a matriarch and social leader, who is initially not receptive to the reality of her son's marriage. Living in Gondal, Aarav has had dreams of moving to America, whereas Emily has had wishes of settling in India. Through a common connection, their paths fatefully collide, and comedic chaos depicts how Emily may or may not meld into the stereotype of the perfect Indian family.

Development and casting

In an effort to find a suitable match and do justice with the character concept, a multitude of actresses were auditioned before Jazzy Ballerini was cast as the lead[4] mid-2021.[5] After two months of language training,[6] production cast the remaining co-stars and ensemble.

Release

Promotion of the series began in June 2022 with an initial release date set for 27 June 2022.[7][5] The actual premiere date was pushed to 4 July 2022[2] while simultaneously being released on Disney+ Hotstar.[8]

Reception

Ratings

The show's debut week on-air, which ran for 6 episodes, opened to a 0.7 TRP,[9] with modest ratings through its first month.[10]

Critical reception

After the first episode, Pinkvilla offered a limited view, taking interest in the subtle humour and calling it a "much-needed breather", while also being skeptical of the 6:30pm debut time slot.[11]
