The Married Woman

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.

Wow this show is going to hold special place in my heart I was crying bcoz of Ridhi and Monica's acting is so phenomenal I felt their pain it was so raw and real never felted like it was just an acting. Story line is so simple no unnecessary drama or plot created to make it more masala full or mainstream.Songs are soulful. But please please to the married woman team kindly make another season bcoz the ending is not the end it is was just a beginning of something beautiful. so we have to go on a another ride with astha and pipilika

The Married Woman is like old wine in new bottle. The story of bored housewife, feeling neglected by husband losing spark in marriage is something we have seen in many stories. However here the treatment seems different but the show is somewhat slow.

The first episode where the story unfolds seems interesting and the equation of Aastha(Ridhi Dogra) with Aizaz(Imaad Shah) seems likeable but without any build up to the story suddenly things started turining and Aastha suddenly started loving Aizaz so deeply and then suddenly Aizaz is dead. It all happened so quickly in the first episode. Should have been given time to build character and establish some story there.

Aastha is then attracted toward Piplika (Monica Dogra) and this too happens so quickly, without any story build up. Not so convincing here.

The story moves at a slow pace after the first episode but its watchable.

The biggest flaw of the series is - undeveloped story line and the slow pace. Things happens just out of nowehere.

There was so much story happenening in the first episode, the social scene of nation and other elements, should have been continued in the story going forward.

However, it would take effort to sit through all the episodes. The first couple of episode pretty much sums up the story.

It's not a bad series but pretty average one. Yes, could have been way better.

Ridhi Dogra's performance is really good. She is convincing and portryas her emotions. Monica dogra is likeable. Imaad Shah is super in the first episode. Though he had only one episode and wish we could see more of him in the series.

First episode - 7/10, rest 4/10

The series is just going round and round on one subject

The makers made 11 episodes on a small subject of a women loneliness and she was wondering here and there for some company

Ridhi and Monica played their characters well but at a point of time you will feel bored and dragged that only thing is going on and when will this end

The series needed a good edit ,some pace in the episodes ,some good emotional touch, and some additional story

Too slow and lousy

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.
