The name of Saas, Bahu Aur Flamingo may be misleading, but the show is definitely not. That’s because this Saas-Bahu saga is nothing like the daily soaps featuring mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law playing petty kitchen politics. These are feisty women, who shoot first, ask questions later. They run a complex and sophisticated drug cartel from a nondescript town in rural India.
It’s a story of women who suffered but came out of their suffering strong, victorious. Saas Bahu culture is a little different in this series. Quite opposite of what we see in real life. Also we see women putting an end to patriarchs in the series.
I recommend you to watch Saas, Babu Aur Flamingo. You will love Dimple Kapadia’s acting as Rani Baa. All the other actors in the series have given good performances. I also liked Naseerudin SHah’s acting in the series. In a small limited role, he did his job well.
The background score of Saas, Bahu Aur Flamingo is amazing to be honest. In the romantic, or the tense scenes, it does amplify the sequences. The cinematography is good. The action set-pieces were good, but could have been better. Towards the end of the series, the screenplay is rushed. The last episode does not hit you as much as it should be.
It’s a good series. Waiting for its season 2.
Indian script creators pick some touching topics. It reveals their seriousness in capturing the audience of drama and film industry. I wish Pakistani content writers could compete with them in this field. But it’s still a far cry for us.
