Dear Dairy,
This is indeed a very special post because I have spent my weekend watching one of the best art – Baai Tujhyapayi web series. It is a Marathi language series, and it hit me hard. When I started watching it, I never expected it to leave such a deep impression.
At first, I thought it must be a simple emotional drama revolving around women’s empowerment and all that, but as it progressed, I became increasingly involved. In this review, I want to share my thoughts on this series, explain why it resonated with me so strongly, and why it is a must-watch.
Baai Tujhyapayi Web Series: Why The Story Feels So Real?
Let’s quickly get to the point. I definitely don’t want to keep you waiting.
1. The premise of the web series
The series revolves around a fictional village called Vesaich Vadgaon. Ahilya (Sajiri Joshi), a resident of this village, wants to be a doctor. However, her ambitions get embroiled in centuries-old orthodox customs and gender-based restrictions.
In the village, there is a ritual that once the girl reaches puberty (menstruation), she has to forget her education and get married. Amidst this, how does Ahilya challenge these taboos? And does she succeed – forms the crux of the story.
2. Less drama
The first thing that struck me about the Baai Tujhyapayi web series is its overall ambience. The series doesn’t try to be dramatic. Instead, it focuses on more natural emotions and everyday situations. Not a minute did I feel like I was watching actors; instead, it felt like I was watching real people.
3. Sincerity in story writing
The entire story of the web series is sincere and free from boredom. Additionally, the story unfolds at a pace that allows you to thoroughly understand each character. Nothing feels rushed or over-the-top. Instead, the connection of the lead characters, their emotional bonding, and the story is beautifully portrayed.
4. Superlative performances
A series like this can only work if you have a strong army of actors. These actors don’t just act, but put their heart and soul into it. That conviction you’ll find in the lead actors – Kshitee Jog and Sajiri Joshi. They don’t just shine – they literally outshine.
Their emotion on the screen are so raw, which forced me to pause, take a breath, and I literally had to replay to feel the feelings all over again. Besides, their chemistry – Kshitee and Sajiri’s – is something you have to watch!
5. Beautiful representation of relationships
The bonding between father-daughter, mother-daughter, and the unbreakable friendship is something to watch out for! They were so real and relatable that I started missing the bonding with my friends.
6. The strength of the characters’ arcs
Each character – whether they have a brief or an extended role – has evolved beautifully. The journey of every character is unique, full of warmth, and gives a sense of belonging.
Why Baai Tujhyapayi Web Series is a Must-Watch?
Lately, I have seen web series that are full of gore, violence, bloodshed, and sexual content. Sometimes, these factors act as a detour from the core of the issue. However, in this world of twists, unnecessary glamour, and shock value, Baai Tujhyapayi web series stands out. The reason is that it focuses on intense storytelling and emotions.
The dialogues are meaningful and impactful. The cinematography captures the perfect backdrop of every scene and also highlights the beauty and emotional tone of the story. The background is subtle, and what do I say about the direction? Nipun Dharmadhikari has done a fantabulous job.
It’s not just him, but without the lead characters, the web series would be empty and soulless. The chemistry between Sajiri Joshi and Kshitee Jog is simply outstanding. I would especially applaud Kshitee Jog because I have always been a massive fan of hers since her television days. And every art form of hers – be it a serial, movie, or web series – she does justice to the characters. Indeed, a winning stroke for her!
All in all, all this blends well and creates a warm, emotional viewing experience. But I would like to point out the pacing of the series. Several times, the series lag and become uninteresting. However, Baai Tujhyapayi is far from boring and doesn’t drag for even a second.
Thus, making it an interesting and irresistible watch! I must admit that such bold and sensitive topics can be handled only by Marathi Cinema, for instance, films like Jogwaa, Court, etc.
Who Should Watch This Series?
Actually, anyone can watch this series. But still making your task easier by listing some preferences.
- People who are emotional and love character-driven series
- Someone who is okay with simple yet powerful narratives
- Prefers family-oriented but real-life situations
- Young girls and mothers must watch this series
However, if you are someone who likes action-packed web series, then give this series a pass. This series focuses on emotions, depth, and storytelling rather than some gimmicky solution.
Final Verdict
I must admit, Baai Tujhyapayi web series is a gem that is both relatable and an eye-opener. It is a perfect blend of excellent direction and strong acting. Time and again, it reminds you of the importance of storytelling.
It’s about connecting with characters who remind you of people from your life. So, for me, it’s a must-watch, and I highly recommend it – no wonder it deserves all the appreciation.
