Anchal J Mar 5 Such an intelligently written (dialogue, plot, narrative arc were all handled so well) series. Extremely refreshing storyline. Really enjoyed the flashbacks that slowly revealed how we got here - if broke the monotony of a chronological story (something they didn't do in Season 2, making Season 2 a lot less enjoyable). Stories were believable, but fascinating, each character was unique and engaging, and the performances were brilliant See more Hemant S 09/01/2023 First off, I am so glad to see Zoya Akhtar sliding away from the grandiose wedding and fairy tale romances, now venturing into some real dark domains. Though "Dil Dhadakne Do" did explore a slightly bold subject of dysfunctional families, and "Gully Boy" was an up, close and gritty view of a very off-the-street music genre in India. "Made In Heaven" just launches off into a plethora of topics that are sensitive and are the many "big elephants in the room" for us Indians, so to speak. On the outset, it's about two wedding planners who run "Made In Heaven", a niche start-up that caters to the rich and the famous of New Delhi. But as we go along on the ride with them, and the different flavors of culture, traditions, wants and needs of families for their lavish and not-so-lavish weddings, we also encounter the dark underbelly of hypocrisy, classism and patriarchy that exists in this country. The writing and direction is kept very real and subtle by Zoya and her team, and the acts are really good - Arjun Mathur and Sobitha Dhulipala as the leads, and supported by Jim Sarbh, Kalki Koechlin, Shashank Arora, Shivani Raghuvanshi. Vijay Raaz, Vinay Pathak and so much more of the amazing pool of acting talent in this country. Indian streaming content is definitely coming of age. 🙂 More!

Something fresh that gripped me from the start! See more 03/09/2020 I'm a big Indian film fan especially the great films from the 30's to the 50's. This did not disappoint and I binged over two days. It's got the great sets, costumes, scenes from old and crowded street culture to the palaces of the wealthy and influential that we all love but it is the dressing for great story telling which so many "Bollywood" films lack. Each episode brings a wedding planner drama with new characters and situations but the lives and stories of the regular characters develop episode to episode pulling you into the binge. The dialogue is fresh and believable. The clash between old and new culture is explored and lots of surprising sometimes shocking but always believable moments keep you turning the figurative page. See more 02/09/2020 The biggest achievement of Zoya Akhter as a filmmaker is how she doesn't exploit the urban sensibilities with her extravaganza and storytelling. And that's also what makes 'Made in Heaven' the most well-made and profoundly engaging web show of the year. It's an endlessly fascinating and humorously exciting cluster of stories which don't repeat there themes and discuss the overarching concepts of a 'match made in heaven's. What may not work for everyone is the manic depiction of the sensuous drama of the people who organize these weddings: but it's rests to the tonality and reality. It's an exciting career turn for Arjun Mathur has he plays a gay character with masculine touch. Sobhita Dhulipala invests you wholly. Nuances, drama and ambition never fall short in this grim Hindi plus english show that never and never gives in a false note! See more 10/08/2019 What a lovely series... Superb.
