What works for Follow Kar Lo Yaar:
Follow Kar Lo Yaar is quite a guilty pleasure. It is exactly the kind of show that people would ask you to stay away from, only to watch it secretly when no one's around. It is raw, unfiltered, controversial and has just the right amount of masala to have you tuned-in. Uorfi is certainly a very interesting personality. She's not the kind of person who wants to be in everyone's good books. She has her share of haters too but what makes her fascinating is her quest to be the center of attention, be it for the right or the wrong reasons. Opinions about her don't dictate her decisions and choices. In a way, she is a person you'd wish to be, in world where most of ones actions are commanded or dictated by societal norms and the phrase we hear time and again, 'Log kya kahenge' (What will people say).
What doesn't work for Follow Kar Lo Yaar:
Follow Kar Lo Yaar though pitched as an unscripted reality show, has several scripted and heavily staged elements. Not that it's necessarily bad, just that it isn't completely authentic. It falls into the category of shows that you watch, not expecting anything pathbreaking or clutterbreaking but the shows that you watch when you are in search of something saucy, messy, controversial, bitchy and entertaining. The show could also do with a little more polishedness, for a better flow. Apart from that, the show delivers on what it promises.
