This reflects Gen Z's bittersweet relationship with their parents - where children are friendly but still somewhat afraid of their parents, where parents are strict but weak towards their children.Read at source

Bakaiti
Set in old Ghaziabad, the story follows the five-member Kataria family during a period of financial difficulty. To earn additional income, the family patriarch, Sanjay (Papaji), decides to rent out a room in their home. This results in Naina, the 21-year-old daughter, being asked to vacate her room and move in with her younger brother Bharat, aged 17. Naina, ambitious and emotional, is unhappy with the change, while Bharat, a street-smart cricket enthusiast, resents sharing his space. As the siblings struggle to adjust, their parents, Sanjay and Sushma, face pressure from Sanjay’s younger brother to sell the ancestral home following the recent death of their father. With the arrival of a new tenant, tensions rise, relationships are tested, and the family must confront generational differences while rediscovering mutual understanding and care.

The beauty of ‘Bakaiti’ lies not just in its writing but in its honest performances too. Rajesh Tailang and Sheeba Chaddha are pitch-perfect as a middle-class couple. Both are actors who don’t just perform—they become their characters. Rajesh plays a father determined to give his children the very best, no matter how tough the circumstances, while Sheeba brings warmth and quiet strength to her role as a loving, understanding mother.Read at source
All in all, the show might feel like you have seen all of this before, yet it still feels warm and genuine. With seven episodes of 20-25 minutes each, this is a breezy, feel-good weekend binge.Read at source
