&TV’s latest offering, Gudiya Humari Sabhi Pe Bhari produced by Essel Vision and Saeed, takes viewers through the fascinating journey of Gudiya, intertwining the raw appeal of the region in its dialect, depiction, characters, way of life and over all narrative. It also introduces a new face – Sarika Bahroliya, a native of Gwalior, who is essaying the role of Gudiya, along with well-known television actor Sarrtaj Gill portraying the role of Muddu.
All about the show:
Gudiya Humari Sabhi Pe Bhari’ is a slice-of-life story of Gudiya, the youngest daughter of Radhe (portrayed by Ravi Mahashabde) and Sarla (portrayed by Samta Sagar), having her own unique quips and quirks to life and situations. Most often, Gudiya lands up in unusual situations but then her upbeat attitude and unique approach snap her out of it. Gudiya embodies a girl who isn’t restricted by her current reality or any societal norms. Giving us a peek into Gudiya’s ‘all’s well’ world, the show sets a light-hearted and humorous tone while depicting her simple yet unbridled approach towards life.
Good points:
The show is a light-hearted drama, set in the backdrop of Madhya Pradesh. Bringing the authenticity of the local flavour and rustic cultural elements to the storyline, the makers have maintained the narrative very simple yet extremely relatable and engaging. For the role of Gudiya and other characters, the makers did extensive casting workshops in the grassroots across MP and UP to get talent that could fit the roles perfectly. They did their best.
Bad points:
The audience is not attracted to desi shows now. Also, Sarika Bahroliya, compared to Sarrtaj, looks too young. The pairing is new but unusual. There are some laughter elements but they look forced in the story. The nature of these desi characters is nothing different and doesn’t give a new appeal to the show.
Over all, it is a decent watch and will most likely grow on you as the story proceeds. We hope that the show manages to capture audience attention in the near future.
IWMBuzz.com credits the show 2.5 out of 5 stars.
