I fast forward whenever Apanra came to the screen. I can't even see her. I feel sorry for whoever is going to marry this annoying piece of 💩.

Disclaimer: I am not Indian. Found this show via an Instagram account I follow. Some of the characters I found very real, complex and charismatic. Other story lines I turned out. Overall, glad I watched this. It was entertaining, funny at times, poignant.
This show is everything I love about a good Indian melodrama: children who disappoint, comedy villains, neurotic mothers, ruthless aunty rivalries and savage passive aggression. What's not to like?
I enjoyed the entertainment quotient of the show. Just that the last episode ended too abruptly after taking us through the lives of so many bachelors. If there is another season(that will be nice!) it will be great to bring in a different matchmaker than Sima to bring in a different flavour.
You will love the effervescent Nadia. And then you'll love the humble lawyer Sekhar. And then you'll love the gentle giant Vyasar. And then the cute vet Rashi. You will not like the stubborn Aparna at first. But over the season, you'll start to warm up to her and actually root for her to find love. You'll roll your eyes at the hard-to-please Pradyumna and then you'll feel the warm fuzzies when the gorgeous Rushali tames him with just one smile. And Sima. She's your typical matchmaker auntie and if you're a woke liberal, she'll have you fuming in 5 minutes and you'll label her and the show pregressive. But by the end of the season, you'll be admiring her for the job she manages to do with the slick finesse of Winston Wolfe. Like her or not, she's the real MVP. Agree that some of the show may be scripted, but these are real people and real stories and the reality of how thousands of Indians are approaching marriages even today. If you're not able to appreciate it, clearly you're missing the forest for the trees and you're busy being offended because you think you are some kind of flag bearer of Indian culture done right. But you aren't. So stop hating and give this show a chance.
