Made in Heaven (2019)

this web series drama has it all. It has shown the true picture of behind the scenes of Indian weddings. Zoya Akhtar has portrayed the LGBT community on the right side as well, now living in an Indian society pressures you to hide inside a shell if you are related o the community. The series also showcases the misogyny faced during the Indian weddings or how the women are targeted if they belong to lower middle-class families. In the end, this is a must watch series, totally different from the other Indian web series.

Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti’s Made in Heaven looks like a series about the glamorous and exciting life of the elite and the grandeur of typical big fat Indian weddings on the surface but the show has so much more to offer than just that. It leaves no stone unturned in displaying the ugly reality of the seemingly high and glamorous world of the elite, the class wars, inherent sexism, police brutality and homophobia in India. The juxtaposition of stories of the weddings planned by the two protagonists, Tara and Karan and their own lives have explored themes of loneliness, acceptance, betrayal, manipulation, and love beautifully. The characters’ flaws and desires are relatable, their plots are hard hitting and have an intense emotional impact and the monologues at the end of each episode by Shashank Arora (who plays Kabir) always leaves you thinking. The writing and the execution are pure excellence from the makers and the actors. If you’re looking for something binge-worthy that really makes you feel, Made in Heaven is a must watch.

Now when I say #bestOfDrama I mean Made in Heaven. You really can't relate to it anymore. Each episode of this series would really hit you hard and the bold colours of the characters would stun you. It has #gay #sexual #erotic #adultery content and it brings out such a #beautiful mix of these arenas that it makes its audience crave for more episodes. This is a #wedding revealer. It expresses the truth behind the hidden curtains at weddings and all the stereotypes attached to it. #

A underrated Prime Video original that deserves more attention. With a highly talented cast that aptly and meticulously portrays their respective characters, this show revolves around all the topics that one would not bring out on the dinner table. It has the perfect balance between drama and lust and exposes the ugly reality present in life. It exhibited real people and dramatic situations without stereotyping or succumbing into cliches. Overall it displays good character development, feelings of love, friendship, envy, betrayal and unaddressed emotions that are correctly exemplified to make it an absolute must watch.

It is quite a good web-series, based on a very good and exclusive storyline, by Reema Kagti and Zoya Akhtar. The strings of different relationships, that are quite important in our lives, have been given a good portrayal, here. The two company heads- Sobhita Dhulipala as Tara Khanna and Arjun Mathur as Karan Mehra have given major friendship and partnership lessons or goals. They have done proper justice to their individual roles, and we are to mention, of course, about Jim Sarbh and Kalki Koechlin, who made the twist in the tale, more significant. The different tiers of relationships, marriages and friendships are dealt with, so intricately that you are bound to find them relatable at some point or the other. Another important aspect on which the web-series has focussed on, is gender equality and acceptance by society. Till date, people belonging to LGBT community are unacceptable to the society. But, a groom's family asking for a huge dowry amount from the bride's family is acceptable. How? And most importantly why? This is to be thought of, and our societal norms and their rules of acceptance should change.

the series takes us through the journey of two new wedding planners aspiring to make the business , "made in heaven", successful by taking care of the venue, family and all the chaos that goes on behind a perfect wedding. But along the way, each wedding unveils some dark secrets that brings out the social and political drawbacks in the society- dowry, rape, assault, corruption. these horrors come from almost all classes of society, from wealthy rich to poverty stricken. the drama also entails personal highs and lows of the people working in "made in heaven". their personal hardships related to love, money and status, helps them not only to empathize with the victims of injustice happening behind the glitter and lights of the wedding but also lift them out of their misery.
