Our Take:
The show brings a realistic character in the form of Guddan. Its quite relatable. It happens many times with carefree girls that people leave hopes on them and feel that they aren’t capable of anything. Such girls take the negative criticism in their stride and show up doing some extraordinary things. Guddan’s story is also motivating, that brings a smile along. Guddan’s take on life is light. She may inspire people to deal with tough situations in the easiest way possible. The story around Guddan and Akshat’s marriage can be called interesting, but not much practical. The show tries to balance between realistic and too fictional characters like Akshat and his Bahus. Nevertheless, such fiction is needed to pull the story ahead. Akshat looks the handsome and most eligible bachelor, even though he is well-aged and a widower.
The bahus’ characterizations are tried hard to keep different and dramatic. Overall, characterizations are okay as per the romantic comedy and family drama theme. The actors are well cast. Their efforts are seen in portrayals. Kanika Maan as Guddan is fresh and vibrant, fitting into the cheerful girl’s role perfectly. Nishant as Akshat is also very apt. He plays the character well by putting right amount of arrogance and charm. The cinematography is something to mention here. Nice camera frames, lights and realistic feel in most of the scenes. Costumes are according to levels of characterizations. The unusual pairing of Guddan and Akshat draws curiosity.
Overall:
The show is a fair attempt in the romcom genre from the channel. It brings clean entertainment. Good actors are a plus. Comical situations remain its USP.
Our Rating:
