This series revolves around the discussion of dowry in Indian rural settings. The practice of dowry has been banned for more than fourty years in India. However, it is still practiced out there in the open. It is so commonplace that people don’t ever hesitate in either giving or taking dowry. This series showcases the lengths an Indian family can go to fulfill the dowry demands, yet no police officer penalizes the offenders/groom. The storyline is quite good, specially the messaging at the end. However, some parts seem elongated, specially in the middle episodes. Moreover, the ending seems rushed and everything happens so fast that it becomes impossible to follow. I would like to applaud for the makers in trying to highlight this social evil.
