Aafat (2019)

Dustbin reviewed Aafat
Ricky and his mother are looking for the perfect bride for their family. They get in touch with a matrimonial agency and decide to meet 5 girls. All the girls are from different walks of life, but the one thing that’s common between them is they live suffocating lives because of patriarchy and societal pressure – whether subtle or unsubtle. One of them is a divorcee, another is on the healthier side, yet another doesn’t wax (that’s a new one), while someone else is looking for love somewhere else. Another one is a rebel without a pause, and an outspoken one at that – which routinely has her use cuss words.
Women empowerment related content seems to be a go-to for the filmmakers and content creators recently, but Aafat manages to be unique and stand out among them all, with its black humour. All the actors, from the five leading ladies to the supporting characters, have done an excellent job at portraying their characters. You can’t help but remember that one Agony Aunt in your life, by watching Ricky’s mother, and scoff at the arrogant and dumb Ricky, who is more beauty and less brain, a spoilt rich brat. Sidharth Bhardwaj has given life to Ricky, with his lively performance.
The different scenarios are projected in a light-hearted, non-preachy manner, and that’d have an instant connect with the audience. Stupendous performances from the cast pulls this show together. Sidharth Bharadwaj, who plays Ricky could be the cutest antagonist in the history of streaming. Aditi Manchanda, Nikita Dutta, Chitranshi Rawat, Neelam Sivia and others play their characters to the hilt. The screenplay also has several in-jokes, like a woman with a t-shirt that suggests not to over analyse life hosting an astrology show and keeps the proceedings peppers.
The best part about the series is that it throws out in the open urban patriarchy. People have a misconception that patriarchy exists either only in rural India or the middle-class in the urban crowd. However, this series proves all that wrong.
Aafat is an entertainer for everyone. Aafat is a must watch smasher.

Extremely Entertaining
Aafat is an Indian comedy web series by MX Player. It showcases the lives of a prospective groom and his five prospective brides. The series is absolutely brilliant. Each of the five women are fighting a battle with themselves about a quality which the society frowns upon. This make their characters come alive. It was hard for me to find a weak spot because I don't remember a single point in time when I thought that this isn't enjoyable. The show is original and packed with humor. The duration of the episodes and the season is perfect. If you are wondering about how engaging the show is, let it be known that I finished it in one go. Absolutely amazing, go for it!

Entertaining.
MX player’s original series ‘Aafat’ deals with the unfortunate reality of the matchmaking in India. The superficial things like bank balance, outer beauty or other social norms. Revolving around the life of decent and good looking Ricky Malhotra, a catch in the marriage business. Along with his mother, he sets out in search of a beautiful and suitable bride. He is presented with 5 matches, each of them having a quirk considered unsuitable for a perfect bride. Baldness, hairy, loud-mouthed, overweight and divorcee, the girls bring their own set of peculiarity to the show. I really loved the perfect timing all the characters had on the screen and the humorous portrayal of matchmaking in India. The title is made up by the initial of every girl’s name, Aditi, Aisha, Faiza, Anu and Titli. There is nothing too overwhelming about the show and is perfect for binge watching.
