Do You Wanna Partner Story
‘Do You Wanna Partner’ dives into the world of start-ups and friendships with a refreshing twist. The story follows two best friends Shikha Roy Chowdhury (Tamannaah Bhatia) and Anahita Makujina (Diana Penty). The duo decide to take on the male-dominated craft beer industry after facing setbacks in their personal and professional lives. Shikha loses her family brewery to the ambitious and manipulative Vikram Walia (Neeraj Kabi), while Anahita is denied a promotion she rightfully deserves. Together, they set out to carve their own path by launching a craft beer brand, but the journey isn’t easy. From shady corporate deals to societal prejudice, the series packs in plenty of drama, humor, heartfelt moments, and often the reality of entrepreneurship.
Do You Wanna Partner Series Review
Director Collin D’Cunha and Archit Kumar has captured Gurgaon’s corporate hustle with authenticity while balancing it against quieter, emotional beats in Kolkata. The narrative flows smoothly, with genuine moments of laughter, friendship, and resilience. While the grounded tone sometimes clashes with quirky characters like Jaaved Jaaferi’s Dylan, those very quirks end up giving the show its unique flavour. The pacing dips occasionally, but the fun banter and heartwarming camaraderie between the leads keep things afloat. It’s not flawless, but the series is engaging and never loses sight of its core message—ambition, struggle, and partnership.
Do You Wanna Partner Performances
Diana Penty and Tamannaah Bhatia are the heart of the series — their chemistry is warm, believable and the emotional anchor of the show. Diana Penty shines as Anahita, delivering a grounded performance full of charm and determination. Tamannaah Bhatia matches her beat for beat as Shikha, playing a woman driven by legacy and revenge. She balances fire and vulnerability.
Neeraj Kabi as Vikram Walia is menacing, though at times a bit theatrical. Nakuul Mehta’s Bobby is sincere but underwritten. With an actor of his calibre, we really wish to see Nakuul Mehta more. Jaaved Jaaferi steals the show as Dylan, with his comic timing lighting up every scene. Sufi Motiwala as Firdaus is another delightful surprise, effortlessly bringing humour and energy. Shweta Tiwari, and Indraneil Sengupta provide solid support, though their roles could have been explored more as the script doesn’t give them full arcs.
Final Verdict
Do You Wanna Partner is a breezy, feel-good series that blends comedy, friendship, and corporate drama with plenty of heart. Despite some uneven moments and glossy production choices, the show works because of its cast, natural dialogue, and engaging story. It’s a celebration of ambition and the bonds that help us chase it. If you’re looking for an entertaining watch that balances laughs with emotional depth, this one is worth raising a glass to. Raise a pint and enjoy the ride.
