Swara Bhasker is back with a new show on Netflix, and this time she playing a stand-up comedian who runs away from her wedding to follow her dreams.
Sounds familiar? The trailer of the show, Bhaag Beanie Bhaag just dropped and it is giving us major The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel vibes.
Swara aka Beanie is a woman who has finally decided to follow her passion to become a stand-up comedian. And so she leaves her fiancé, played by Varun Thakur stranded and runs to the stage.
She then meets a fellow stand-up comic, played by Ravi Patel who helps her through her journey of self-discovery.
Twitter did not miss the similarities the show has with The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and can’t stop comparing them:
Marvelous Mrs.Maisel adapted to Indian context? #BhaagBeanieBhaag https://t.co/BA4l2xHv0Z

So much for originality @ReallySwara such a blatant copy of the Marvelous Mrs Maisel?! Why?! I for one will definitely avoid #bhaagbeaniebhaag which is going to be a disaster to say the least.

Is it just me or is this Bhaag Beanie Bhaag sounding like a blatant rip-off of Marvelous Mrs Maisel to you too?

Um…did Netflix literally just remake Mrs. Maisel and make it Indian?
