Bhagonwali - a true eye-opener for how to be a wife !!
Today I completed watching he serial "Bhagonwali" which is telecast in Zee TV,I came across this serial in my Engineering days where I simply used to watch all the serials telecast in Zee TV. It is at that time that Zee TV went an tremendous amount of change and launched many new heroes and heroines. It is at the time when I watched "Yahan Mein Ghar Ghar Kheli", "PunarVivah Season 1", "Choti Bahu Season 2". Those were the days of sheer innocence. We get to watch these episodes only at the time they were telecast. But today, with UN-limited Internet access - I get to watch all the episodes available on YouTube.
"Bhangonwali" at the start I felt it so cheap. The settings, house, costumes, make-up everything felt so down-to-earth. I believe that the house of Runjhun and Guddu, Hanuman Temple, Guddu Shukla Mobile Centre all are part of an indoor studio only. The backbone of these episodes is the story line where the concept of Dabbang is used for the hero. Neverthless, this is the smallest soap episodes I ever saw till date with only 318 episodes. This isn't boring, this isn't dragged, It is at the most capturing audience pulse. A point to be learnt from Runjhun is that - We can live to any extent. If we are poor, we need to be a poor person and live happily. If we have money, we need to lead the life of a rich person. Don't ever make money come to affect your feelings/face expression ? I wonder how it could be possible for Runjhun to behave that way. Definitely for me, I am not so sure If I could start living as a poor person..
The second part after Runjhun becomes the Jootha Maatha Rani - Well that is something on the comedy track and also some thought provoking episodes. People should be beware of fraud Maata Rani.
Jootha Matha Rani tho Joota nikala !!
Good thing is that I get to know that in Uttar Pradesh there is a city by name "Kannauj"and that it is also called by name "Perfume City of India". After knowing the history of the place "Ithar Wali Galli" sounded perfect for the street where Runjhun and her family lived.
As per MahaDevi - I never thought she would act so very good. She amazed me simply as a young pregnant lady.
It is a good thing early in the morning, I wake up daily and start with playing Bhangonwali wpisodes in the background and immerse myself completely in the daily chores. The cruel intentions of all Maama, Maami, Neelu, Jabbu - They don't repeat. These characters are bad but then they are unique and un-predictable.
Bottomline:- Has to run in background only. "Anti-Boring Agent".
