Bhuvan Bam’s Dhindora story centers around a middle-class family comprising Babloo, Janki, and Bhuvan, their daily life, dreams, and aspirations. Things take a 360-degree turn in several ways when Babloo wins a lottery jackpot.
Dhindora, meaning ‘beating the drums’ or ‘tomtom’ aptly conveys the crux of the show revolving around Bhuvan, a collegian aspiring to become a singer, his mother Janki, and his father Babloo, who’s awaiting a promotion and salary hike at his workplace. The story shifts gears when Babloo, who gets a promotion but also a pay-cut, wins a lottery jackpot, and consequently affects the life of everyone in their universe.
While only the first episode is out for the audience, this review is based on the first four episodes. Titles like Lag Gayi, Baasi Roti, Nano Thug Lenge, and State Sherlock convey the idea of the 15-to-22 minutes-long episodes.
Starting on an interesting note, the screenplay by Bhuvan, Abbas Dalal, and Hussain Dalal gets predictable at times and the drug-beating seems to be fading by the end of the fourth episode, making you wonder what they were thinking. On the plus side, the dialogues, though quirky and chuckle-worthy, are incorporated with a good dose of expletives. So, ironically, this story of a family can’t be viewed with the family for its generous use of Gali-galoch.

Those acquainted with Bhuvan Bam’s BB Ki Vines will be familiar with the multiple characters the YouTuber plays, from Bhuvan, his mother Janki, father Babloo, mama Titu to his friends Bhanchoddas, Sameer Fuddi, and even the college teacher. He continues to essay them with the same ease and conviction without letting anyone overlap or overshadow the other. However, the lack of perfection in the looks of his many characters is obvious.
Anoop Soni plays himself, as an extension of his narrator’s part from the small screen’s Crime Patrol. Gayatri Bharadwaj lends due support as Tara, an interning doctor, and Bhuvan’s love interest, though you feel Rajesh Tailang is wasted in the role of the moneylender Parishad.
The production values are decent and the Capital has been appropriately used in the narrative. The soundtrack is an interesting mix. The title song, Dhindora, composed by Sneha Khanwalkar and rendered by Kailash Kher, and Bhuvan’s creations like Saazish, with vocals by Rekha Bhardwaj and Ban Gayi Zindagi add value to the show.
To sum up, Bhuvan Bam’s Dhindora is an interesting watch for the way it narrates the everyday life of middle-class families with their typical idiosyncrasies. It also shows a mirror to the general attitude and behavior of people around, even in crisis situations.
