It is said that “Marriages are made
in heaven but are solemnized here on earth” That’s the theme of Amazon prime
latest web offering “Made in India”. It’s initial trailer seemed like the
revolved around a single story but it isn’t that way. They have covered around
7 wedding stories in the entire series. Each episode covers one wedding in the
series, except for the main plot, which is nerve gripping.
India diverse culture and its
fascination for wedding have been well captured in the series. From the big fat
Indian wedding to traditional weddings to royal wedding to church wedding to
punjabi NRI wedding to the wedding of a peon’s daughter. All these different types
of wedding have been covered in the most charismatic way.
It was delight to watch all these different
types of wedding in one show. Didn’t feel like was watching a web series, feel
was similar to watching a blockbuster movie, that was the grandeur of the
wedding celebrations. Hats off, to the creative team of “Made in Heaven”, who
presented all weddings so well. That way the reason WHY all weddings were
delight to watch for.
In India, only dream that parents have for
their kids, is to get them married at the right age. Once kids are married, parents are relieved
of one of the biggest and most challenging responsibilities of their life.
Parents nourish this dream from the moment a child is born. That’s the reason
MARRIAGES are given more importance in India. Theme of the web series was
complete match to this ideology and captured these emotions in its true form.
This series was also an eye
opener towards the life and functioning of wedding planners. They work
tirelessly to make weddings the most amazing day in a couple’s life. Wedding planner’s
primary focus is to ensure that the couple cherishes the memories of their
wedding. Bride and groom is meant to enjoy the biggest day of their life for everything
else, wedding planner’s are there. They are the extended family of the couple during
wedding.
Through the series is all about wedding but
there is also a parallel story running in the main plot the series. Especially,
story revolving around the male protagonist of the series, makers have
presented it in a most dignified manner.
Actor Arjun Mathur played his
part, with much ease and elegance. It was a challenging task for any male actor
to take but not only did he accept the challenge but also did complete justice
to the role, Kudos to him for that. This part can’t be explained in words but
it has to be watched to understand the message it wants to convey to the
people.
Usually web series have an open
ended ending for season 1 but that wasn’t the case with Made in Heaven. I felt
finale episode was complete in itself, it wasn’t like other web series where
you are left to anxiously wait for the next season. About which no one has any
idea about. That’s one of the reasons WHY I hate web series at times. Still end
up watching them for the concept and story line.
Those of you, who haven’t watched
it Made in Heaven, so watch it. It’s worth watching.
