How will they face the life challenges by sharing their stay place? What kind of incidents happen in their ambitious lives, forms the crucial crux of the show.
Performances: Both Siri Hanumantu and Ramya Pasupuleti did a superb job as the lead cast.

The beautiful moments between Nitya and Tara add a fresh vibe to this five-episode show. The usual catfights between the housemates are showcased nicely without any melodrama.
Artists such as Anjali, Praneeta Patnaik are okay in their supporting roles. Other new faces who played the office colleague roles are decent in their respective roles.

The background music for the show is soothing and elevates the mood of the proceedings nicely. The editing work is slick.
Off-screen work done by the production design team is visible on screen. The production values for this Tamada Media, Aha and Dice Creations banners are apt for the premises.
