Saas bahu and flamingo

Story: Saas, Bahu aur Flamingo revolves around Rani (Dimple Kapadia), a powerful matriarch and a boss woman, who leads a covert drug cartel. It is set in the nondescript town of Hastipur in North West India, where Rani and her cohorts rule with an iron fist. Review: The words Saas and Bahu may be technically apt to describe the characters of this show but they are also the most misleading. 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. And the front for this dirty business is an innocent-looking all-women cottage industry called Rani Cooperative led by Rani, who knows how to keep her friends close and enemies closer. Director Homi Adajania manages to grab your interest right from the beginning with a spine-chilling scene. We won’t reveal the details but let’s just say it sets the stage for more confrontations and bloody encounters. The dimly lit corridors of Rani’s palatial haveli are enough to spook the audience. It’s a place where there is never a dull moment, as the stakes are too high and everyone is hiding a secret. Adajania executes this with an action-packed screenplay where each minute is filled with tension and unpredictability. The characters are fleshed out well, with interesting subplots, making it easy to keep track...

Saas, Bahu Aur Flamingo Review: Dimple Kapadia's Show Is Undeniably Bingeworthy Saas, Bahu Aur Flamingo Review: Dimple Kapadia powers the show with an impressively impactful star turn. Radhika Madan etches out a young woman of substance who does not yield an inch in her pursuit of things that matter to her. A thriller spearheaded by Dimple Kapadia as the matriarch of a family of drug dealers in a lawless North Indian desert town, Saas, Bahu Aur Flamingo transports us to a world of flawed, tough and unapologetic women who live life queen size wholly on their own terms. The women reap the perks of power but also pay the price for their intrepid ways - the conflict between rewards and reprisals forms the core of the unconventional family drama that is, to an extent, a quirky rural variation on Disney+Hotstar's Aarya. Strong atmospherics, a storyline that brims with emotions and action, a slew of solid performances and a script that delivers a full complement of twists and turns combine to make Saas, Bahu Aur Flamingo a satisfying, if not necessarily scintillating, show. The eight-episode Hotstar Specials series alternates between the explosive and the slow burn, the taut and the winding. It follows a dysfunctional family in which nothing is what it appears to be on the surface. That is hardly surprising. Much of the tale unfolds in a secret bunker, the site where the family grows its opium, a place that the rest of the world has no inkling of. Several fraught relationships - ...
