Aafat Review

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.
