Sweet and flowery like the Genda Phool. Review on Sasural Genda Phool

For quite some time now, we have been watching this program - a tv serial - that has a  fresh outlook at life. Sasuraal Genda Phool has been quite successful in enthralling its audiences with the cutesy romance and comedy, Hrishikesh Mukherjee style.

This is a story of love after marriage between two very different individuals - Ishaan(played by Jay Soni) and Suhana(Ragini Khanna). Suhana is a fiery tempered girl brought up by her father single handedly along with her sister. Having lost her mother at a very young age and left with only memories of her, Suhana grows up deprived of motherly love and desparately. Yet, the love for her family no matter how small, ensures that she has her heart at the right place.

Ishaan is a person who is at the other side of the spectrum. He is a quiet simple person who has grown amidst the love and care of a huge boisterous family who pull through all the obstacles of life through simple humor and support for each other. Circumstances including Suhana's break up with her model boyfriend, Sid, after being insulted as "not marriage material, and an accident involving Suhana's father and Ishaan, brings the protagonistic characters in the situation of a wedlock.

A story that starts so disastrously with Suhana declaring that she would never be able to love Ishaan as a husband, goes on to show Suhana developing feelings for her husband and not able to understand them. She also begins to mould herself into the Kashyap family just by being herself and yet imbibing some of their qualities.

The relationship between Suhana and Ishaan blossoms despite obstacles like Suhana's brain tumour and mysterious love letters when now it stands to face the ultimate challenge: Ishaan's accident owing to which he had developed an amnesia causing him to forget the last two years of his life, which sadly includes Suhana.

All the characters in this drama are exquisitely designed with their own flaws and virtues. Nothing is rose colored here, but nothing is dark either. Everyone has problems of their own, but this show gives you the hope that after darkness comes light. The lead couple, Ishaan and Suhana, has amazing chemistry.

However, the current track where Ishaan is struggling with amnesia seems to be a slightly prolonged. I hope the writers are noticing this slip in TRPs as people are losing patience with the serial. The current track is making Ishaan look very rude and heartless as he keeps hurting Suhana ruthlessly. Granted he is dealing with the confusion between Suhana and "Shashikala" and is fighting his attraction toward a supposedly married woman, there is no need to be so rude(and dumb at times).

Dear team of SGP, please get Ishaan and Suhana back together because we are feeling deprived of the cutesy romance between our lead couple. We need to get out of this amnesia track and move the story forward,

Note to the reader: Please excuse the fact that I have stressed only on the main story between Ishaan and Suhana and not on the side stories, because my main intention was to rant about the current dragging track of amnesia. Once the track moves on, I'll get back to this review and add the other details.

Thanks for reading.:)
