I mean, I understand that Dixits may have criminal links and all, but still think about your wife, who had been begging him to be on time and to do bare minimum of being presentable.
I feel whole idea of common man is skewed at this point. Promos did excite me, but storytelling and flow is bit disappointing! I can understand leading two lives but I feel atleast wife should have been aware of her husband's second life; would have made much more sense. Also, two lives need not be soo contrasting, I wish there was some balance. Common man can be ignorant of social issues but not necessary be so clumsy and always with umbrella and so meek. There is a way to present these differences.
Personally, I like Parshuram scenes way more than his scenes with his family and those whole clan of Dixits. Mostly because Shivprasad is not convincing as a good husband as the quoted person mentioned.
Also actors (except for Neil and Mahi) are little too off. FL doesn't look like mother of two kids at all (but she is gorgeous!), and her family has couple of well-known faces, but for some reason their performance is blah.
Shivprasad aka Secret Spy Parshuram is a much better ML character compared to other toxic ML characters shown on SP channel.To the outside world he's just a normal everyday man trying to make ends meet but in the outer world he's a secret agent dedicated to protect both the society and the country from anti social elements.
He's a devoted dad to both his children Chintu and Pihu while his mate Shalini despite coming from an elite background is a devoted housewife managing the family affairs.
Unlike other toxic ML characters who won't pass the opportunity to belittle their wives presented as some sort of an evergreen love story Shiv's character depicts realism and the everyday struggles of a common guy.
Shiv despite being a Spy is not that much clever like Tiger or Pathaan or even sly/cunning like Agent Hamza of Dhurandhar but makes up for the same by trying to be a capable spy who's out to save the country including the world.
He's quite sloppy who left his cellphone open while fighting with those goons which is why his daughter Pihu could clearly hear the gunshot sounds from his silencer embedded weapon.Even in Shalini family's engagement ceremony he thought that he would make up for being late by doing a wild dance which unfortunately backfired on him.
Shalini was quite offended with Shiv's dumb dance performance and alleged that she felt humiliated in front of her family members.Shiv's in laws don't like Shiv due to his normal middle class background.
Shalini also defended her spy husband from her snobby friends and family too.As both a mother and wife despite being strict she wants the best for both her children and family.
Shalini's family thinks that their son in law is a joker bcoz Shiv wants to hide his secret and thus pretends to be a common man but fails comically bcoz his mind is not trained that much to balance the two contrasting personalities.
However he has so far managed to keep his spy secret hidden from his wife Shalini right from the college days itself.And there's a perfect logical reason to hide the same bcoz then his enemies would target not only his family which could put his mate Shalini and his children in the crosshairs but perhaps endanger the secrets of the organization too whom he's working for as an agent.
