Social Realism in ChanChan

Yes Di Dowry is a serious problem in India, though my Family on the whole has never experienced a problem , I can read in Papers daily atleast 2 deaths due to the asking of excessive Dowry 😔 Sad but this is True. But Nowadays i do see Strong Women who does not fall for this Dowry thing and they are even bold enough to cancel such Wedding rather than going to a Money Minded Family. But Still this is one of the thing which has to be eradicated in India, Marriage should be done with Love not by selling Daughters and sons. But some peoples still do this as Costume so cant tell them wrong too. Anyway i will be happy if India and other countries too become a place where there will be no dowry Marriages

I liked this bit.Almost all shows are against such social evils..to the extent that people are now used to hearing heroic dramatic aggressive speeches by the leads infront of a huge social gathering.completely surreal.Ive seen people with such guts on TV..Unfortunately not in real.These have become dinnertime entertainment lots,very much the way crime shows have become bedtime stories,no violence allowed.
Chanchan deals with certain issues in realistic way,which people could relate to and can replicate

Awesome post Sonya !!! Loved the social massage element in today's episode !! It was handled very nicely without any unnecessary melodrama !!

Forgot to mention..apologies..
Really nice post!
:D

And i am happy they are showing the bad things of asking Dowry in Chanchan, Hope peoples will understand this. And i am expecting a lots of Social messages form chanchan, Hope it captures the hearts of millions and changes peoples too

Oh so it is a rampant issue in India even today. What I don't understand is why don't these girls divorce their husband rather than taking their own lives? Wait.. are they killed by their in-laws or they commit suicide?

1) Girls are still considered a burden in Indian society.

2) Girls are instilled such funny societal norms in their mind that they should listen blindly to their good for nothing in - laws & coward husbands when it comes to dowry.

3) Educated people do dowry, my own relatives did not mind doing it - when I heard I was like why the heck did they study just for that god damned certificate ?

4) People think its only in the rural parts that is not true urban is not less at all - its like upper class prostitute.

I completely agree with what Johny posted its an every day news & these women think the sasural is god I am like what the.

I am personally enjoying Chhan Chhan. Its much better according to me then the previous show. In a show in the craze for chemistry behind the leads such concepts are left out.

That's really sad Harshu. And I loved you your referred to it as "upper-class prostitution"

I certainly agree that as a female, ChanChan is a much more well developed character than Khushi. I just mentioned in another post that ChanChan would have reacted very differently if she were slapped by her mother and taunted by everyone else for secretly marrying Arnav...

This might be personal Harshu so you are free to refuse replying.. But if you don't mind me asking.. would you refuse to marry a guy whom you thought was perfect if he asked for dowry? I mean everything else is perfect but the only thing is that his family asks for dowry...

Nice Post Oyster...penned a similar one...on social messages throughout the whole two episodes.

Apart from dowry which is a very sensitive one, the issue of taking up professions is highlighted through CC's family.

A dog trainer, a wild-life photographer, a tattoo artist!

These are not conventional professions yet their parents and Grandmom though grumbling accepted it whole heartedly,

I have put up a post on this - CHHANCHHAN USP - As real as it can get!

Thanks
