Our Take:

The concept is sweet and show good hearted joint families, where everyone is treated and loved equally. They respect their bahu Shreya as their daughter Avni. Th show brings non partiality towards daughter and daughter in law into light. The actors in the show do justice with their roles. Everyone has their own niche and connect with the audience on their levels. The title score of the show is moderate. The chemistry between the lead couple Shreya and Bhushan is good and worth watching in the show. Neil Bhatt and Sreejita De are the real stars of the show, who make their scenes rocking by their talented acts. The supporting cast is effective and justifies well, which makes the show look a neighboring home story. The show brings strong relations and how people treat close relations as their blood relations. It highlights the importance of joint families and also the merits.

Overall:

One can watch this simple homely show, if they are fed up by the evil schemes seen in all shows these days. It is a fair entertainment show and Zee Channel gives it a lift. The show is worth watching for those who like to see revenge free family dramas.
