Complex characters are always a joy to watch on Indian TV. Of late, daily soaps have become a bit too silly with story-lines revolving around one man and two women besotted with that single man. The show has broken that clutter. Unlike the original Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 4, which was a mature slow-burn love story, this one has more anger and angst. These two emotions work very well as viewers can resonate with what the protagonists are going through. The responsibility of being the eldest in a family comes with a lot of challenges and trauma. Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 4 despite its format of a daily soap has tried to do a little more than what was expected.
