Famous actor Dilara finds herself in one long nightmare when she is transported to an alternate world where she is Belinda, a character she had reluctantly agreed to portray for a shampoo ad. Torn away from her glamorous life, can Dilara find a way back to her own timeline or will she just have to resign into being an unknown common married woman with a bank job, two kids and a rather creepy husband?
Directed by Deniz Yorulmazer, the 2023 Netflix movie “Oh Belinda” stars Neslihan Atagul as the arrogant Dilara, who is forced into the shoes of an ordinary woman. While the basic premise of a rich famous person waking up as a married commoner is interesting, the writers waste the script’s potential and deliver a rather pointless bland drama.
Necip Memili plays Belida’s husband Necati, a character who is supposed to provide comedic relief. Trying to force your wife into sex isn’t funny. Necati’s behaviour is creepy and he stops short of committing marital rape. The other characters were pretty forgettable.
The resplendent Neslihan Atagul is the only thing worth watching in “Oh Belinda”, too bad she isn’t backed up by an interesting story.
It’s a 5 on 10 from me.
