Today's female protagonists are portrayed as nothing but mere doormats, as bichaari dukhiyaari ablaa naaris who have got not even an ounce of self-respect. They are forced to endure all the abuses (be it mental, physical or sexual) coming in their way silently. Astonishingly, they fall in love with the same abusive male protagonist. They seldom continue with their studies, even if they are brilliant students and have a great career perspective. Doing a job is a distant dream altogether. They are forced to leave their studies/jobs after marriage to prove that they are adarsh bahus. Some series' even are based on the "fact" that married women should not work. They endure all insults thrown to their family by their in-laws or prospective in-laws silently. I've literally stopped watching these retarded and regressive series'.
This series would actually portray how women have been visualized by Kabiguru around 100-150 years back. And he is not the only one. Almost all the authors from Bengali literature have portrayed extra-ordinarily strong women characters, who have got loads of self-respect and know what they are doing.
Anyways, as I've mentioned in my earlier post that it's so refreshing to find so many original Rabindrasangeets in a hindi series. The songs they have used as I can remember:
1. Phule phule dhole dhole (Ye Banks & Brae - Scottish original by Robert Burns)
2. Amaaro paraano jaaha chai
3. Dnaadiye achho tumi amaar gaaner opaare
4. Amaar ange ange ke baajay baajay baanshi (hindi translation, originally has been taken from the author's nrityanatya "Chitrangada", which depicts the tale of Chitrangada [a manipuri warrior princess] & Arjun, when he had gone for 12 years of penance)
