7th April 2023, Mumbai: Dimple Kapadia starrer ‘Saas, Bahu aur Flamingo’ tells a new age story of saas-bahu relationships. The show explores the complexities of modern-day relationships and the changing dynamics of the traditional saas-bahu equation. It is a refreshing take on the age-old drama that has been the staple of Indian television for decades.
In the show, Dimple Kapadia plays the role of a flamboyant and quirky saas named Pratibha Devi. She is a wealthy and powerful woman who lives life on her own terms. She has a strong personality and is not afraid to speak her mind. Her daughter-in-law is a modern woman who is confident and independent. The show revolves around their relationship and how they navigate through their differences.
What sets ‘Saas, Bahu aur Flamingo’ apart from other saas-bahu dramas is its approach to the subject. The show does not portray the saas as the villain or the bahu as the victim. Instead, it showcases the complexities of their relationship and how they both struggle to find common ground. The saas is not just a dominating figure but is also shown to be vulnerable and emotional. The bahu is not just a submissive character but is also shown to be strong-willed and determined.
The makers of the show spoke about the series calling it a mind blowing drama, quoting down what they exactly said ” who is unapologetically hardcore, and daughters-in-law who are steadfast and formidable – these women are nothing but badass, powerful, and even ruthless by choice.”
Dimple Kapadia also shared her thoughts by saying “Saas, Bahu Aur Flamingo is a story of what makes ordinary people extraordinary in a world full of passion and chaos. It’s a bunch of bad-ass women telling a narrative which is often played only by male characters and believe me, it’s got some of the most colorful characters you’ll ever see. The show is as wild as my crazy director Homi Adajania mind. He has flipped a family drama on its head giving us such a captivating binge-watch.”
The show also addresses some of the issues that modern-day women face in their relationships with their in-laws. It highlights the importance of communication and mutual respect in any relationship. It also shows how women can empower themselves and take charge of their lives without compromising on their values.
The production values of the show are also noteworthy. The sets and costumes are lavish, and the show is shot in beautiful locations. The music and background score are also well composed and add to the overall viewing experience.
Overall, ‘Saas, Bahu aur Flamingo’ is a refreshing take on the saas-bahu drama. It tells a new age story of relationships that are complex and nuanced. The show is well-written, well-acted, and well-produced. It is definitely worth watching for anyone who is looking for a fresh take on Indian television. The series will be released on 5th May 2023 on Disney+hotstar.
