Bada Naam Karenge Review: Sooraj Barjatya’s New Show Is A Perfect Blend Of Tradition And Modernity
Indian OTT platforms have been witnessing the rise in content created in crime and thriller genre with the elements of boldness. Due to the profanity and violence, viewers have grown accustomed to binge-watching these projects on their phones with headphones and only a few series are suitable to watch with family. For instance, SonyLiv’s ‘Gullak’ has won hearts with its relatable story of a middle-class family. Palash Vaswani, the director of ‘Gullak’, has now teamed up with Rajshri Productions, to create the most sanskaari (cultured) family series on Indian OTT – ‘Bada Naam Karenge’. For the unversed, Rajshri Productions is known blockbuster films like ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’, ‘Hum Aapke Hain Koun!’, and ‘Hum Saath-Saath Hain’.
The 9-episode series, spanning over 7 hours, ‘Bada Naam Karenge’ is a unique show in terms of its story, characters, and length. With Sooraj Barjatya as the showrunner, you can expect a deep dive into Indian values and traditions, with a focus on love and family. The story begins in Ratlam and focuses on Rathi family. As the narrative unfolds, the series beautifully showcases how family is the backbone that keeps us grounded in this modern and high-tech world. The Rathi family is known for its prestige, tradition, and discipline. The story then shifts to Ujjain, where we meet the Gupta family, a middle-class family that values love and trust above all else. The relationship between Rishabh Rathi and Surbhi Gupta forms the core of the story.
‘Bada Naam Karenge’ begins with a meeting between the two families and flashes back to the lockdown period in Mumbai during the pandemic. The story takes off from Rishabh’s party, where Surbhi makes an appearance, followed by the sudden lockdown, leading to Surbhi being forced stay at Rishabh’s flat for five days.
Rishabh and Surbhi had to hide the truth from their families. But when Rishabh’s uncle reveals the truth, the couple’s relationships with their respective families crumble. In the midst of this chaos, Surbhi and Rishabh try to win back their families’ love and trust. This love story, set between the new generation and old values, has been beautifully woven by S. Manasvi and Vidit Tripathi. It will make you cry, smile, and feel the warmth of relationships in a traditional way.
The story has the trademark Rajshri Productions, who are known to blend of family values, traditions, and love, mixed in perfect proportion. Two things make ‘Bada Naam Karenge’ special: the superhit songs from Rajshri films are perfectly fitted into the situations. The songs of ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ and ‘Dosti’, add a wonderful surprise to its storyline.
Palash Vaswani’s direction is superb, and the episodes are indeed lengthy. But if you’re tired of watching violence and bold content on OTT, then ‘Bada Naam Karenge’ is a perfect fit for you.
Ritik Ghanshani as Rishabh Rathi is amazing in the show. Watching Ritik play the guitar and sing will increase your craving for Rajshri’s heroes, reminiscent of “Maine Pyar Kiya” and “Vivaah”. Ayesha Kaduskar’s portrayal of Surbhi’s innocence and conviction is impressive. In this series, Surbhi has redefined the definition of Indian beauty. Kanwaljit Singh as Anand Rathi has a profound impact. Alka Amin as Kusum Rathi also delivers a fantastic performance. However, Jameel Khan as Surbhi’s father has surpassed Alok Nath’s iconic performance in “Maine Pyar Kiya”. Rajesh Tailang as Fufaji is very effective, and Anjana Sukhani as Nita Bua is quite powerful.
