New show ... Main Maayke Chali Jaaungi ... start has been decent ... let's see how it continues. Interesting premise ... cute, everyday couple ... his mom believes that marriages are forever, but they have to be worked at ... and the new bride has to do the major work. Her mom is a divorcee, a divorce lawyer, and has overseen the divorces of both her older daughters. She believes that in a marriage, both partners have equal responsibility to make it work, and if things don't work out, it's better to break things off than continue in a bad marriage and spoil one's whole life.
Interesting premise ... both mums are shown to be very loving mothers ... both even have a grudging respect for each other in their first few meetings ... both acknowledge their thinking is very different ... and they really don't want to be related to each other at all! Satya devi has not lost all respect for the institution of marriage, and is happy that her youngest daughter has found a nice boy ... she gives consent for the wedding almost instantly. Boy's mum Rama devi is shown to be the most understanding wonderful lady who encourages her son to propose to a girl he likes ... even though he has known her barely a few days! I did raise my eyebrows at that one ... why encourage him to propose right away? Why not encourage him to meet her a few times first? Get to know her better? Not according to Indian sanskriti?
My fear is that Satya Devi, the girl's mother (Bhabho from DABH in a completely different avatar ... she really is a very attractive lady) with her modern thinking, will become the villain of the piece, and be shown trying to instigate her daughter to not make any adjustments at all, even the minor ones which happen in every new relationship. And Rama Devi will be the wonderful understanding MIL, who encourages her son to make all the adjustments required. Hope they make these two characters grey, and not pure black or white ... then the show will be more interesting. Not holding out any major hopes though ... Sony shows do have interesting new concepts, but when they don't get TRPs, they get warped or pulled off far too quickly.
Neelu Vaghela, Bhabho of her earlier avatar, has got an interesting role ... and is playing it well ... underplaying a lot ... calm, serious but very affectionate ... such a difference from her loud crass Bhabho!
