The Married Woman

The chemistry between the leads is very good. There are some flaws, the communal tensions highlighted well but at times feel like something running parallel to the story of astha and peeplika, with not much connect to their journey, especially after the 3rd episode. But the actors have done a splendid job, would've liked to have seen more of Peeplika's family. We all need a Peeplika in our lives and all Peeplikas of the world need an Astha. The chemistry of Monica and Ridhi make up for any complaints. Fingers crossed for a season 2.

The story is about a traditional women and her journey to self realisation. The only thing that keeps her traditional is her saree rest everything is modern about her.

It's good that we have started talking about female sexuality and lesbianism. But we are Far cry from understanding, given that the story writer and director failed to understand themselves. Story of female sexuality does not have to accompany indefidelity but sex sells.

There is an emotional aspect of the females which all so called modern directors failed to portray. May be those unnecessary intimates scens were a compensation for that. But then again what to expect from movie and TV industry which has been servicing on stereotyping female sexuality.

The background premise of riot seem to just add intensity to the plot which the original plot lacked anyways.

Almost all characters were either hindu or muslim, another stereotypical premise. If inter religion love is to be there are many other minority religions which are mostly neglected.

Anyways good first attempt but far cry from fair though. The Lead characters should have been given more screen time and they lacked horribly in character development.

I love all the characters especially, Astha and Peepli's husband but at the same time I was expecting more from this series. In last three episodes, I was fast forwarding the episode. So, I can reach to the end. Slow, and it doesn't need this much of episodes. But overall I loved it.

The central story theme is powerful but pathetic story telling , rendering and direction. I wish it was handled better. While watching i forwarded as it felt a lot dragged.

Give Suhaas Ahuja the ability to do whatever he wants, and give him a whole bunch of interesting people to mess with. You get the best show ever.
