Hey there, it's Aditi, and today I'm diving headfirst into a show that's been captivating audiences with its glitzy charm and riveting drama - Amazon Prime's "Made in Heaven". When the first season came out, I'll admit, the initial buzz didn't have me convinced. But guess what? I've changed my tune, and now I'm here to share why this series has taken my heart by storm.
"Made in Heaven" is all about two wedding planners navigating the intricate world of extravagant Indian weddings, complete with million-dollar budgets and family dynamics that make reality TV pale in comparison. Don't be misled by critics - this show isn't just spice and no substance. It's a rollercoaster ride through the lives of couples and their families, tackling issues from dowry disputes to colorism to polygamy with grace and unflinching honesty.
The acting is stellar across the board. From a captivating love triangle with Sobhita, Kalki, and Jim Sarabh to the heartfelt portrayal of queer characters, every cast member brings their A-game to the table. Karan Mathur's character tugged at my heartstrings, and the iconic couple Shivani and Shashank kept me hooked.
Let's talk style. The costumes, set design, and attention to detail are mesmerizing. The Indian designers like Sabyasaachi, Manish Malhotra, Tarun Tahiliani, and more, have truly outdone themselves. Personally, I couldn't take my eyes off the pink ensemble by Sabyasaachi that addressed the bride's color concerns.
I'll be real with you - I binged both seasons in just two days. That's how addictive "Made in Heaven" is. It's more than a show; it's an experience that delves into the complexities of modern relationships against the backdrop of opulent weddings. If you're a fan of drama, exceptional cast performances, and a dash of social commentary, this one's for you. Don't wait - give it a watch and let me know if you get as hooked as I did. Until next time, bye!
