Directed by Vishwajoy Mukherjee, who co-wrote the story with Akash Mehta, “Baked: The Bad Trip” delivers another engaging sequel in the “Baked” series. Following the format of its predecessors, the screenplay is divided into five episodes of approximately 25 minutes each, making it perfect for binge-watching. The reunion of the three friends brings back all the craziness, confusion, strong bonds of friendship, and a host of new misadventures.
Haris, the most innocent of the trio, works a 9-to-5 data analytics job and still longs for his one true love, Tara, who has moved abroad. Oni, the brains of the group, teaches at Delhi University to remain close to campus. Meanwhile, Body, leading a life he never envisioned, manages his father’s pesticide company in Ludhiana and is married to Japreet aka Japs. Dissatisfied with his life, Body decides to reunite with his friends and embark on a trip to Kasauli for a much-needed break. With the gang back together, the show becomes an emotional yet upbeat roller coaster ride for both the characters and the audience.
The narrative is enjoyable and light-hearted, with only a minor flaw: the humor occasionally feels forced. However, this is easily overlooked. The story addresses common issues like arranged marriages, long-distance relationships, and the bond of friendship, infused with humor. The dialogues resonate with millennial slang, adding authenticity to the drama. Furthermore, the series is tightly edited, ensuring that the drama feels neither stretched nor tiresome, but rather fun and easy to watch.

The performances are visually pleasing and impressive. Each character is relatable to the audience. Pranay Manchanda’s portrayal of the naive Haris, Shantanu Anam’s deadpan humor as Oni, and Manik Papneja’s portrayal of Body’s endless life problems (mostly self-created) are standout performances. Chunky Pandey’s cameo adds to the drama’s charm. Among the female characters, both Kriti Vij as Tara and Disha Thakur as Japs deliver believable performances.
The camaraderie displayed by the trio is heartwarming and brings a smile to the audience’s faces. This is what makes “Baked: The Bad Trip” such a delightful adventure that should not be missed.
