To me Andrew Davies has elevated the adaptation of A Suitable Boy. A fast moving pared down television series.

Just look at a death scene which was so simple. A flower drops, and then the character is ready to be cremated. No extended histrionics.

Although my wife noted that one of the character had his hair grow long again so rapidly.

Maan Kapoor languishes in jail while his father faces a fight for reelection. An unexpected gesture shows Mann the meaning of true friendship.

As for Lata. She realises that her brother's pompousness and snooty attitude stands in her way of finding love.

Despite the novel being reduced, it feels like a novel has come to life on television.

Lata never gave chance to Kabir Durani

Warning: Spoilers
I understand she married the right guy but the thing is, she never gave chance to Kabir Durani. He was just a college student for god's sake. He had so many problems in his life, a mother who doesn't recognise him, a father who cares nothing about anything other than mathematics. Despite of all these, he went to meet Lata at Kolkata to see if he could get a last chance to convince her. I won't say that he was a suitable boy but Lata definitely did injustice to that lover boy. And I really felt like Lata is using all three of them. Maybe not Kabir, but she did used the other two, Amit and the shoemaker. Maybe, that's right from a bengali's perception.
