Malaika Arora recently made her OTT debut by launching her own reality show running with malaika,
The series is based on an insight into Malaika’s personal and professional life and the first episode of the show aired last week on Disney Plus Hotstar.
makers of running with malaika did my best to carve a modified version of fabulous lives of bollywood wives, However, failing miserably in many aspects, the series has disappointed many viewers including me.
Here is a list of reasons why reality shows are easily discarded:
1. Bad Scripting
I think the primary reason running with malaika What can easily be taken off your viewing list is bad scripting.
All the elements of the show were scattered here and there. The episodes were not put together in a flow and the poor scripting only adds to the mess.
2. ‘Clearly’ staged scene
I can’t call a reality show a reality show if it looks more reel than real. On several occasions, Malaika seemed to be reciting her lines straight from a script.
The stand-up by the model-turned-actress also looked unreal and staged.
3. Empathy Hook
Jumping straight into Malaika’s life after the car accident, the makers leave no stone unturned to engage the audience through empathy.
The story begins with the traumatic incident, where Malaika revealed how she had promised herself that if she survived the incident, she would put the time to good use.
Taking the sympathetic route, giving the audience out in the first scene itself felt a bit much. The sound effects and crash scenes were making it too much to digest.
4. boring

Except the part where our own Bebo aka Kareena Kapoor or Farah Khan enters the scene, the series might seem a bit boring.
Both Kareena and Farah brought in several revelations and jokes for the audience.
i started looking running with malaika With the expectation of some spicy gossip and entertainment. If I’m not getting that as a viewer, why would I watch it at all?
No doubt, running with malaika There is a lot of potential but there is a lack of dedicated effort.
Expect to know more interesting facts and incidents about Malaika’s life in the coming episodes.
