What works?

Sharman Joshi’s acting in series is commendable. From an incent loving husband to an angry suspicious husband, he is a treat to watch. Asha Negi, too, has done justice to her character. story has been written well.

What does t work?

re were many things in series that did t work well. subplots were weak and supporting characters were t well rounded up. Moreover, for an OTT format, this show seems more like a daily soap fit for television audience. Many scenes are dragged for too long with many clichéd ideas, including ‘ female character won’t say a word when wronged’, ‘Husband getting jealous if a male friend is feeding cake to wife’ and -old ‘girl was a gold digger’ tropes. creators of show gave too many twists and turns in a failed attempt to keep audience glued to screen but series became very predictable after an extent.

Final thoughts

show sure has clichéd plots but can be watched for Sharman Joshi’s acting performance. It serves as an entertainment source during lockdown. However, if you are t a fan of drama, you could totally let this show slip by.

Rating 3/5
