ChhanChhan - typical Saas Bahu show? - Page 3

Appy, you're calling it a bhashan too 😭😭😭 Next you will be calling me a TRP auntie 😆

I know ... the real life incidents of people who have suffered dowry issues and trying to save their daughters are far more spine-chilling and disturbing than any fictional ones ... fictional ones don't go anywhere near the actual evil of these practices! That's why I feel the more they are brought to attention, the better ... the more social stigma is attached to them, the better ... nothing else will help to uproot them ...

As for your second and third points ... me am in total agreement with you ... if saas bahu appeals to the masses and brings Chhanchhan to the top of the TRP charts, let it be a saas bahu show ... as long as I get to see Sanaya on screen every day, I don't much care 😆

You miss TWTW ... aww, thank you 🤗 I do want to start it again for Chhanchhan once the show settles down. Probably after the first month.

there is a saas, there is a bahu, they are locking horns = saas bahu serial.
and don't tell me cc is not married and so technically the label is wrong..

diya, i love the way that you emphasized that uma ben is not black.. i agree.
uma ben is not the typical black character with evil in her heart..
in my opinion, she is a worldly wise woman... like you said, she knows..and uses... the power that her position has. just like about 80% of all people who have the power to influence things.

there is more i want to write, but sorry, no time. maybe i will come back later when i have time.

@ red ... bingo!!! You have nailed the definition of saas bahu show ... 🤣

Uma Ben is wordly-wise, manipulative ... but cleverly so ... she is a representative of many women who dominate their homes and families without seeming to do so ... by playing quiet and subdued, while in fact they are the decision makers. Men do it from an obvious position of authority, women do it differently, because many men ... and women ... still believe that a woman is subordinate to a man and should remain so. I think Uma Ben's character will unfold further over the coming episodes ...

Thanks Diya-- not saas bahu but two protagonists on the opposite sides of the spectrum with different ideas at the moment who amy become saas/bahu later.

Both the issues presented are topical and relevant and are surely issues that one should champion.

While the premise is good... the promise of a lighter show is possibly what has got us confused. At the moment the show has taken up these issues right at the beginning and San is looking like Rajani of old... which is not completely palatable... that she will prove to be a good match for Supriya's ideas has already been proved... but what we want is that this clash of ideologies should not degenerate into kitchen politics or into something more serious like Satyameva Jayate ... I have confidence that Supriya and Sanaya wouldn't let it go there but then TRP maata ka kya kehna?

Hey Ash 🤗 Exactly ... the first two weeks have been quite heavy ... the only light moments were provided by the dogs and Manav-Himanshu. I don't have much problem with Sanaya playing Rajni, Tu Tu Main Main or any combination in between 😛 ... as long as she doesn't go OTT, that is my only peeve. The rest, I can take ... I am equally happy with a drama on social evils as I am with a lighter show, as long as it is well presented with not too many loopholes, and the characters are well sketched. I would add - well acted - but with Sanaya and Supriya, that is a foregone conclusion.

I don't no if CC is a typical saas bahu or just a saas bahu show or it's not a saas bahu show.

But i guess we all are watching it only and only for Sanaya Irani right.

So tells keep all this apart and just enjoy watching sanaya act in the show.

Oh, I am watching Chhanchhan as long as it is on air for sure. I was just puzzled why it was being labelled as a saas bahu show when I didn't really think it was ... my idea of saas bahu shows was something different. This show I can relate to at many levels ... not only for Sanaya, but otherwise as well.

Whether this show is a typical saas bahu or not, I'm not sure yet. Its too early to say that esp since as of now there is no saas or bahu. But I think this show might eventually go down the typical route. While the issues such as dowry, etc are very much prevalent in the Indian society and this includes even the educated urban sectors and it would be nice to see the show tackle these issues... but I would prefer if these issues are handled in a sensible way and not in the typical melodramatic way. The way the dowry issue was revealed and the wedding was stopped at the pheras is a very cliched melodramatic concept... and these are not exactly my cup of tea. So if this is the kind of approach the show would take to deal with any other issues inc the saas-bahu issues, then I may not really be interested in it. But for now, I'm just trying out this show to see if there'll be anything that would interest me before calling it quits.

Very well put !

love the post
