A slice of life comedy about a bratty boy grown up in a female dominated family who marries a tomboyish girl who was brought up in a male dominated family.

Aunn Zara was so true to life. Every character so authentic, crafted by both, writers and the actors.

As an audience you could feel such a strong connection with this family and the kind of relationship they share with each other. What I like the most about them is that they are not perfect, their actions both positive ones and negative ones are shown. For example, along with the mother's loving nature, her selfish behavior somewhere is also shown and she realizes it soon enough. Thus, the show doesn't give the audience time to wonder why something illogical is happening because the characters mend their ways soon enough instead of dragging the plot, hence, leading to new twists & turns. You journey along with the characters.

More than drama and romance, it's a comedy at it's best. Comedy of Errors (lot of misunderstandings and confusions), Comedy of Manners (dadi's language and mannerisms steal the show, lifestyle differences between Aunn's family and Zara's family). It has elements of a classic farce.

The cinematography, production design and especially the background music are all superb. The writing is very thoughtful. All the actors have played their characters with great charm, Dadi, Ammi, Phupho, Zara's Daddy, and Aunn & Zara of course.

I'll be so grateful if they make a sequel to it.

Lack of awareness about gaslighting
sunnyc91 October 2020
Warning: Spoilers
When Aunn constantly lies to his family and then lies to Zara, the wife gets confused and in turn faces consternation of the Aunn's family, who are also made to feel confused by Aunn's lying. Lying to create confusion and sowing doubts to create bad blood and then be happy by seeing people go through such ordeal falls under gaslighting which is a form of psychological manipulation. The creator of this show has created a character who is celebrated for gaslighting but without awareness we will continue to see this happening. It seems like an honest oversight. But if the creators are reading this or anyone else who is thinking of creating content, please be aware about using characters who gaslight. The show is not at fault but then as a society we need to increase our awareness of if we can. Even I got to know about this a few years back, we usually adjust with the whims of such people, who are passed off as spoiled. But it is a clinical personality disorder.
