Media reviews of YMMKD

Yeh Moh Moh Ke Dhaage premiered this Tuesday on Sony TV. The show revolves around Raidhan Raj Katara aka Mukhi (Eijaz Khan), who is the village head of Amboli and Arundhati Nanavati aka Aru (Niyati Fatnani), who is an ambitious Ahmedabad girl.

It's Mukhi's sister's engagement and the whole village is being decorated for the occasion. Mukhi is on his way to airport to receive the guests. And guess what his mode of travel is? A camel. Yes, mounted on a camel, Mukhi makes a grand entry in the show.

Dressed in traditional attire, Eijaz looks like a typical Gujarati man from a village. Eijaz has imbibed the character of Mukhi and his performance is as natural as it could be. This is for the first time Eijaz has donned the desi look and he will take you by surprise with his flawless acting.

He has very efficiently got into the shoes of Mukhi, be it the way he walks, talks or sits. Eijaz has gained 10 kg for the role and still manages to look good in his rustic village get-up.

On the other hand, our female protagonist Aru is a career-driven girl, who aims to beat Dhirubhai Ambani and become a multi-millionaire. She is a multi-tasker, who manages her mother's tiffin service, works as an executive in a match-making company, runs her business of dupattas and also is a part-time guide.

Aru is assigned the job to find a bride for Mukhi, whose sister is adamant to not get married till the time his brother ties the knot.

The show effectively captures the essence of Gujarat and gives you the vibrant Gujarat feel with its colourful sets, costumes and locations. The beauty of Rann of Kutch is enchanting in the scene where Eijaz is riding a camel.

Mukhi and Aru's unconventional pairing will be the USP of the show and might be a respite from the usual kitchen politics that's served on Indian television. It will be interesting to see their story unfold and what happens when two different individuals with different set of values meet.
