Dharmatic Entertainment’s Do You Wanna Partner is now streaming on Prime Video. Led by Tamannaah Bhatia and Diana Penty, this comedy-drama series follows two female friends, Shikha and Anahita, as they try to launch their own brewery. Operating in a primarily male-dominated industry, they face numerous challenges, and their ingenuity and friendship are put to the test as they chase their entrepreneurial dreams.
Do You Wanna Partner has received mixed reviews. While some critics consider it a light, breezy watch, others have been less impressed, calling it a “snoozefest” with weak writing and a lack of depth.
Despite the series’s flaws, early reviews unanimously praise Shweta Tiwari’s performance as Laila, the loan shark. She has been singled out as the highlight of the show, even overshadowing the main leads.
Tiwari’s portrayal has been described as both “charming” and “dangerous,” injecting a much-needed dose of charisma and menace into a role that could have been easily forgettable. Her screen presence lends significant weight to the series. After being a pivotal face of Indian television for over two decades, her commanding performance here proves she’s more than ready to shine in the OTT space.
It is also refreshing to see a big banner like Karan Johar’s Dharmatic Entertainment utilizing a TV veteran like Tiwari with a fresh perspective and leveraging her talents to their best use.
This could mark a significant turning point in Shweta Tiwari’s career, potentially opening doors to a wider range of roles that television’s formulaic structure may not have offered her. Let’s see where her journey takes her. Stay tuned for more updates.
