Middle Class and the eternal money quest

I was just watching the Dec 16 th episode where Siddi goes to her brother and asks for her sister's jewels to mortgage and get cash for Dumbeena's wedding. I do understand that a daughter's wedding is something parents save for from the time the girl is born. And according to the storyline, Dumbeena's dad had some kind of PF set aside just for that- when the days were "good" for him. So, technically there should be sufficient funds in it to even satisfy that father in law of hers.

I agree with you. When I saw that episode I was like not the mortgaging the jewelries to satisfy family needs saga again😡? Have seen it in almost every movie of 60s and 70s, it's really outdated way to show how good of a wife or DIL a girl is. They could have found more creative way to show that Siddhi actually cares for Kunal and his family than this.

Haha! Thanks for responding. Even more of a joke was how little Siddi got for her mother's jewels! Given the current price of gold, that should have fetched her quite a bit. Anyways, we do understand this to be a fictional show but I was sort of disappointed in the way the middle class is being portrayed as these people with big desires and dreams but not having the means to reach them- on the contrary, the way I have understood the middle class they are those who have dreams and the means to achieve them. In case of the poor they have dreams but not means and for the rich, they have means but no dreams as they already are living them!! Jokes and stereotypes apart, I think the CVs need to watch out for goof ups on basic story line and basic characterization of their characters to make the show more "believable". There needs to be continuity.

not only this track. court track was also dumb track n list goes on,if i start giving it becomes an script for another serial 😆. they might ve comeup with nice tracks but it seems they believe in "old is gold " 😆

which court track- the lame one about rohit and that girl being married? I thought that was a decent track though i was amazed at the efficiency of the courts to give dates within a week!!!

Hi Blokes. Nice to see you active On this forum. Agree with you totally. Today the middle class has so many opportunities in India, esp the type of family and background the cvs are portraying.

🤗So good to see "old friends" here! Yeah- I think the USP of this show is how in spite of weird situations when 2 totally different people marry- having no trust in each other, over time they come to learn about each other, become friends, learn to respect and honor each other, look out for each other and build a new relationship that is uniquely theirs. That blossoming of that intimacy between the two can also be called "love". It is a great opportunity to show the daily struggle of the middle class- some of them were reflected in some of the scripts of the elder son- complaining about commuting time, inflation etc. No harm in that- on the contrary such inane complaints make the middle class life more interesting when we try to circumvent them in hilarious ways!
