A promising premise undone by predictable execution

The title Divorce Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega suggests a tantalizing premise-something noirish, audacious, or at least unconventional. Instead, the seven-episode series delivers a tepid rom-com that never quite fulfills its potential. For a show ostensibly about daring escapades and marital mishaps, it's puzzlingly timid, meandering into a predictable love story that feels more stale than sensational.

The story follows two competitive news anchors, Nikhat Kothari (Abigail Pande) and Ashutosh Chawla (Rishabh Chadha), as they vie for the coveted prime-time news slot at India Buzz TV. Their professional rivalry escalates when they're tasked with investigating a marriage court scam, a mission that sees them go undercover at a marriage bureau. A paperwork glitch leads to their accidental marriage, setting the stage for a supposedly uproarious attempt to divorce-a plotline that, naturally, pivots into the predictable trope of frenemies-turned-lovers.
