Sreemoyee or Anupama ?? - Page 4

More mature instances of Sreemoyee and other characters in the show than MahaMaa counterparts,

1. Sreemoyee handled the exposition of EMA with courage and even sang a song at her then husband's party instead of the whole panic attack fest.

2. Characters like June's (Kavya's) husband or Buni (Dolly's) husband were more well-formed than just being prop-dummies to add to a crowd.

3. Sreemoyee actually cared for people who were not her kids. She had a well-rounded relationship with June's son even when the EMA was not discovered, she tamed Ankita (Kinjal) who was a lot more bratty in that version, without destroying her dignity and played a strong part in getting Aitihya (Adhik) who was an ex-con, back on his feet. Real actual help, mind you, not just fluttering bhaashans.

4. Adityadeb (Hasmukh) has a strongee hold on the house. Anindya (Vanraj) doesn't respect him out of choice, he commands it. And when he sees that Sreemoyee just keeps coming back to the Sengupta house after marriage only to check his health, he immediately moves out and goes to live with Sreemoyee and Rohit, leaving Patralekha (Leela) with June, who gives her befitting treatment of a pseudo-maid. He doesn't keep forgiving Patralekha's misbehavior in the name of marital loyalty in old age.

5. Sreemoyee becomes a successful businesswoman as well as a professional singer, before marrying Rohit.

6. Though Anirudh (Paritosh) and Dithi (Pakhi) are often shown to be selfish and against Sreemoyee, they are shown as self-respecting characters. They are both doctors and keep practicing. Even Ankita is a doctor who refuses to move with Anirudh when he plans to move abroad because of her own successful career in Kolkata.

7. There are no unnecessary forgiveness tracks and melodrama to justify forgetting mistakes in the name of motherhood.

8. Most importantly Sreemoyee immediately makes Rohit her top priority post marriage. She also acts boldly to care for Rohit during his terminal illness, rescues him from kidnapping, and post his death she doesn't go back to serving the Senguptas. Rather she declares that after Rohit there is no reason for her to stay back and trouble herself with selfish people around her and she would prefer spending her last days volunteering in an old age home and later settling down there.

P.S.: Sreemoyee's ex-husband attempted suicide on the night of her marriage. She refused to even visit him at the hospital. It was due to her current husband's insistence she reluctantly visited him at the hospital for a few minutes. She consummated her marriage on the same night without zero guilt. Sreemoyee's three kids were established in life. They were not free loaders. Yet, Sree used to scold her kids when they insulted her husband. There was never any "MAA Hu Ne" jaap. Once Baa assassinated Sree's character in front of her kids. She replied to Baa, "If you were not elder to me, I would have slapped you." She had a helping hand who did household chores. She did not brag about completing every single thing in 5 minutes. And she told to her kids multiple times that her husband had the highest priority in her life and she literally meant it.

This makes me admire her a lot you know.... I wish I understood the language though...

I have said this before and I will say it again, if you observe nowadays, regional shows have much more sensible, likeable and progressive storylines without the unnecessary and unwanted drama. They grow the characters and relationships between them organically. It doesn't look fake and if audience doesn't like the way any particular show is heading, they simply stop watching.

(Though I am sure even regional section of Itv must have some shows full of cringe 😅😅 My opinion is more comparison based.)

The original Bengali show Sreemoyee is in a different league. If you see how it ended, it is inconceivable that Anupamaa could even take a similar decision for herself.

A better point of comparison could be the Marathi adaptation since it is by the same production house. Have not viewed it but I'm quite sure it would not be this exaggerated. At least, the lead character and writing would be more sensible.

It is much more sensible, I try to follow it as much as I can... no irritating expressions, no 'maa hoo ne', no unnecessary hand movements, none of that cringefest.

Titular lead has a lot of development that looks authentic. Overall much more sensible in my opinion.

I saw a some episodes on hulu Sreemoyee has more self-respect than Anupamaa. Her character growth was better imo cause with Anupamaa it took a long time for her to change and their were good episodes with her character growth from the resort (her treatment) episodes till her marriage track started.... plus her children (even the two un supportive ones) were doctors... they weren't as unless and batameez as Toshu, Pakhi... though I wasn't a fan of Dinki marrying her kidnapper but she was a better character then Pakhi.... also their Kinjal aka Ankita (also a doctor) wasn't a bhakt of Sreemoyee infact started off with cold vibes and eventually they became close but unlike Kinjal she didn't take shit.... plus their Rohit aka Anuj did Dinki's kanyadan. He loved Sreemoyee alot but wasn't a sick puppy.... their characters imo were better written

Sreemoye any day.

First of all, indrani is far better actress than rupali. She even has that power to make nonsensical thing believable on screen. I wasn't regular viewer of that show, in fact only seen some clippings here & there though I'm well aware of the story (thanks to mom she is fan of indrani, most of things I got to know from her only).

Character & story wise, that show was well written. Sree's monologue, her confrontation, her breaking down scene all had more nuanced writing. Though that show was named after her but it wasn't all about her. Everyone had their own story. Even moronic character like her elder son & daughter had the more substance than this. Tbh idhar sab pingpong hai udhar at least consistency tha. People didn't evolve overnight. It presented beautifully. For example, sree's beti evolved with time still her grey shade was intact till the end. Another thing which I heard from my mom that there was even episodes where sree wasn't even present, other characters have taken forward the story quite well which I guess never will happen in this version.
