Backwards concept and mediocre comedy
The pressure from society and family to quickly have babies for newlywed women formed the serious parts of this series. But the issue wasn't addressed properly.
The heroine Meera's situation was frustrating to see in 2020 as no one was supportive (not even her own parents).
Main factor is that the hero Ram is shown never supporting her especially with his backward minded parents. She even questions him when she finally snaps after being treated like crap by his parents almost on the verge of separation but he rather agree to the divorce than show support for his wife.
Also similar troupe with the fertility problem actually being Ram's fault but he never reveals that to anyone and lets everyone assume it's the poor heroine's fault. Ram thought getting married to a different girl will solve his problems (of course not, it doesn't solve anything). In fact he's ruining another person's life coz his mother would want a grandchild asap anyway " to shut the society's mouth". Again another backwards concept.
I watched till the end of the series, hoping they would properly address this but they never did.
At the end, they reunite because she gets pregnant- that's not the solution!! He didn't even apologise to Meera, he doesn't show that he learnt from his mistakes. The character arc is so bad.
Vani Bhojan has potential which was not used at all in these series, Jai : I laughed out loud when he said he's a young 25 boy looking for love ( it's so clichéd) but he did his character well. Namitha Krishnamurthy, Vivek Prasanna and Rajkumar were the real heroes of the series - they were entertaining.
For a series which brings up modern 'youth' issues surrounding gender equality, it doesn't show an equally modern approach to solve the issue.
Watch this series if you are looking for an average slapstick comedy with a lighter mood to fill your time.
