What follows is the unveiling of a bigger scheme of things at work. How would this battered-to-death woman avenge herself and her husband sums up the entire premise of this show. Overall, it's okay-ish honestly. Watch it if you have lots of free time and can't possibly think of something fruitful.

Dobi reviewed Karenjit Kaur
In a culture where sex is taboo and protection of ethos lies in the realm of controlling female sexuality, the story of Karenjit Kaur aka Sunny Leone is something that was ought to be embroiled in conflicts and controversies. A series, that traces the trajectories of the life of the actress, sheds light on her personal struggle with the double standards of our land that on one hand, views expression of female sexuality as immoral and on the other, turns a blind eye to male promiscuity. Overall, the story of her life is different and doesn't easily fit into everyday narratives, and, is therefore unique. However, the screenplay could have been more structured and coherent.

A show that is beset with music oozing in almost regular intervals, the brilliant acting by the lead actors is what makes this watchable.
