What is going on with the set changes? First the Deshmukhs move into someone else's house, and then the set for that house changes. Then we have Raghav Rao going from a palatial house with plenty of servants, to a smaller house with an open floor plan but larger size rooms, to an apartment with a very large swimming pool.

What's going on here? At least when Raghav downsized for the first time the writers gave us an explanation for the decision for him to move - he was going to live in a house built where his old home used to be. Now the new home is small than MY house and I don't own any jewelry stores. Look, I can understand the decision to get a different set for the Deshmukh household (which has larger bedrooms than the Rao's home) but the decision to downsize Rao's really makes no sense and bewilders the audience. It falls under bad writing and directing and really hurts what is a very entertaining show.


For those who do not think sets are important, I want you to think of the attention paid in the film Titanic, Mughal-E-Azam, The Holiday, Home Alone, Sound of Music where the home or the setting of the film is an essential part of the story.

Might be a very big rock to crawl out of.

Lockdown everywhere so shooting in hotel to keep episodes coming.

Currently they are shooting from limited places in hotel room because of lockdown in Hyderabad. They have only two options, either to continue shooting in limited setting or to stop shooting. So, we audience have to appreciate their effort to keep up shooting even in this difficult situation.

Once the cases are in control, they will go back to their first location itself. We have to be patient till then.

Well, Titanic, Mughal E Azam and all the other movies you named were not made during an ongoing pandemic. They are shooting in hotels right now and with other shows also shooting in the same city, there aint too many options available hence the inconsistencies as far as locations are concerned.

Its because of lockdown in india currently due to covid, they need to shift locations from maharashtra to Hyderabad to hotel rooms. As a audience we understand this and appreciate cast and crew for their efforts to keep show running. Once the lockdown is over they will most likely will be back to the original sets. I hope you will understand

They had to shift to Hyderabad from Kohlapur due to the lockdown

And now there is a lockdown in Hyderabad as well so they are filming inside the hotel only


please understand that they are working hard and if possible let others know about this

The title of this thread is very misleading

Among pandemic .....First they have to shift from original kolhapur ..Lavish Set .To hyderabad set ....no shooting strict lockdown in Maharastra ...thats why deshmukh and raghav move to smaller houses .And now With lockdown in hyderabad they have only their hotel to shoot . Either they have to deliver or to stop shoot ..Stop shoot means nearly 122 units member will lost their job .Which include daily wage workers too So what you expect and suggest to do to snatch Job of hundred people just because of they are not providing Lavish SET. ...Grow up dude ....😈SET neve matter until the content and execution remains Powerful ..


.This is not a bollywood movie where SET matters more than content and execution so better not to cry for such stupid things 😈....

Seriously ..When in such horrible condition many shows are going off air without prior notice ..There MHRW team and SP deserve all praise to still run the show ....

Do you have any idea ...How much problem they are facing still they are delivering their best 👏and keep the fight going ....

Where shows of balaji like big ph going off air in this situation here this PH delivering till now is like a blessing for us ....

So stop complaining ..And enjoy the show ....😈

Sorry to be Rude but can't help ...🥱


Well said Kavila (I hope that's your name). You have all right to be rude, I was also annoyed to read this thread.This person have also started another topic to bash the show. She doesn't look like someone who follows the show on regular basis.


If you don't like the show, then don't watch it. No one is forcing you to watch. But please, don't insult others hardwork. The crew and cast is trying their best to give us content amidst all these difficult situations. They too are human beings like us, they also have family and responsibilities. If they want, they could have stopped the shooting or worse ended the show. But they didn't do it. So next time think twice before bashing someone with your half knowledge.

Thank you for explaining this to me. I think the writers would benefit by putting a disclaimer up to explain. It's understandable if this is what they have to do. Many British shows have made modifications but none were shooting in different locations or sets.

What disclaimer? Who needs to be told about covid in today's age?
