Sometimes i wonder people love the relatability in Anupama so much. If there were more relatable and realistic shows on Starplus then how would have been SP's ratings ? Sometimes i wish to see a show where FL is a small town girl who is quite modern recently had shifted alone to Mumbai on job purpose, the story focusses on her daily life etc. How would it have been received by the masses. Characters like her annoying middle aged female boss, a cute handsome colleague, two office girlfriends, one hot crush etc etc. Overall a package of entertainment. A romcom drama.
Naagkanya which was sequel of Naagin took this route on Dangal in 2020 though it was a filler show of 25 episodes with incomplete ending. The leads were both middle-class and colleagues working for an internet news company. The FL was modern but dressed in jeans with top or kurti like any small town girl. They had a strict middle-aged but comic and good at heart male boss. The leads were friends and it looks like they were normal friends from childhood. They had a female colleague who wore stylish clothes likejeans and crop tops. She was not evil but was not fond of FL though she was on good terms with ML. The FL was Naagkanya who was updated version of Naagin like her real form was like Wonder Woman. The ML was crazy for Naagkanya but did not knew FL was only that. The news channel they worked for required them to cover strange or spooky type of news. Their each project made way for Naagkanya's new case. It was kind of episodic as each episode had different villain with 1 common story in the background. Right now most of 25 episodes are available on Dangal YouTube page. There were a lot of office scenes between these 3 young colleagues and their boss who would never take her name properly like instead of her name Sona he could call her different names like Seema, Sulakshna, Hema, Sarita, Sonia or even male names like Sameer and Bheem Singh to which FL or anyone would correct him🤣. But the boss was good at heart who set out to find the leads when they were taking time to return from a project. He said that he has to go himself find them as they are his responsibility. Also the FL would say wrong idioms such as saying Police police maushere bhai instead of chor chor maushere bhai or Chawal me kuch peela hai instead of Daal me kuch kala hai🤣. I was like why we don't get such shows now whether supernatural or not.
It was inspired from Superman and Wonder Woman but at least makers tried something different. This show got 0.9-1.0 at 6pm slot.
