Not a disappointment

Unlike most onscreen infallible families, Rathore's have their fair share of disappointments, drama, and feuds. The great Indian dysfunctional family is although a soap opera at heart, but comes quipped with a clean, modern and realistic narrative.

Vikram (Kay Kay Menon), is a retired Colonel whose injury forced him into leaving the army. Vikram's domineering and strict disposition towards his family makes him come off as cold. His second wife tries her best to accommodate to his and the family's needs which makes her feel dejected and repressed. His brother Samar (Barun Sobti), ran away from the despair a long time ago, and now has returned with his wife to be part of a family wedding. Vikram's mother, on the other hand, is a lively and vibrant woman who wishes to see her family reunited. While all of the members grapple to keep the frail threads of their relationships taught by putting aside their differences, chances of reconciliation look bleak. From Vikram's daughter's accidental revelation of her homosexual orientation to his mother's frailing health, many challenges are facing the Ranaut's, before the unconditionally accept each other.

The production design is pleasing, writing is on point and engaging. Performances aren't half baked either, and characters deliver some moving dialogues. It's a great watch for drama enthusiasts.
