Bang Baaja Baaraat Review

I think this is the very first webseries I laid my hands on and instantly got glued. The thing about bang baaja baraat is that the whole concept of the show sounds very Bollywood-y with a young couple deciding to get married and chaos follows when their families get involved. Very been there, done that idea.

The only difference between this show and a bollywood movie and the reason for it to be a hit is its execution. The way the show is written and the amount of boldness and reality that's attached to it is just simply refreshing and relatable. It makes you sit down and admit it, once and for all that Indian women no longer sit under her veil behind her window curtains and watches her groom arriving. Instead, she struts to him, plants a kiss on her territory, grabs him by the collar and drags him to the altar. And sex before marriage isn't just talked about, it's normalised like brushing your teeth.

The problems facing the couple will make you go "we feel you". Modern life, independent people who have no time for fussy traditions and want to take control over their lives is what makes the couple so life like.

This is India. One side of it is ultra rich and modernised and posh. And the other side still believes that all problems can be solved by some Ganga water. And the children from the two sides get stuck questioning their own values and sometimes, their sanity.

With an amazing cast of impeccable actors, Bang Baaja Baraat is about love, responsibilities, values, bonding and bang. Oh, lots and lots of bang.
