I am just done binge-watching Made In Heaven Season 2 on Amazon Prime. It has been one of the best series I watched recently. Certain aspects of this series may come as a shocker for a few, but then having seen a few cases myself as a Legal Professional and as a normal person. I found this season more relatable than the previous seasons.
The age-old notions such as brides should be fair, only then they will be the best looking and are forced to undergo multiple treatments before their wedding. A young beautiful beauty queen, who is forced to commit on cameras, that the happiest moment in her life was when she received her wedding ring and not when she won her crown. Even despite her fiancé hitting her even a day before her wedding and her father calling off her wedding, the beauty queen goes ahead with her wedding because she feels her love can change her fiancé.
There was one small scene, which really touched my heart. A bride was trying out a beautiful Sabyasachi Pastel Colour Lehenga. The women in her family, who had gone along with her were continuously discouraging her from wearing that color because she has dark skin. I always loved pastels but never had the color until a year ago to try them because of the same inferiority complex. Sometimes, I felt that dark colors would always cover me up and I could vanish away from society. In this particular episode, in the end, her fiancé gifts her the same lehenga, which ends up being her bridal lehenga.
A film actor sneakily replacing his fiancé as the leading lady in his next movie because he wants a younger girl in front of him, is taught a lesson by his actress fiancé. She decides to gracefully step back as an actress and become a Co-Producer and therefore requests her husband to act for free in the next movie as it would be a home production and it is her debut as a Producer. This was my favorite episode. People eloped after 26 years of their marriage, though this was something new and shocker, Samir Soni and Neelam Convinced me that what they did was acceptable, not right. It’s okay to walk out of an unhappy marriage rather than stay in one.
The best surprise was Mona Singh, even though every actor nails their role. Bulbul Singh, aka Mona Singh, just steals the limelight. She looks like an absolute misfit in this whole cast. A former Domestic Violence Victim, who is remarried enters as an Auditor in this High Profile Wedding Planning business. In every episode, she shows us, how a strong independent woman is in reality. She does not need money or a glamorous outfit, but tons of courage to see beyond the obvious and to stand up against the wrong. Even if it means asking your own son to confess in front of the police, that he was a part of a group that molested a girl.
Every episode and every story is beautiful. The show openly talks about LGBTQI relationships and their acceptance in our society. There are quite a few scenes with drinks and Weed and cuss words, but unfortunately, it is a part of the hi-profile society.
Shobita Dhulapia makes me hate Tara, because I actually know someone, very similar in looks and character. Arjun Mathur, convinces, people that it is ok to be Gay and not to change yourself for anyone. Even though the wish of his dying mother is that he gets married to a girl. Jim Sarabh and Kalki are always a delight to watch, I would have loved to see more of them, but then the story did not demand much from them. But loved their presence on the screen every minute. A must-watch over the weekend.
