Dazed after completing the watching of The Suitable Boy on Netflix. A story that is simple yet touching and set in a world that seems very relatable. A story suffused with convoluted feelings of friendship, first love, family pressure, and of the world, so set in the early years of independence, that is India that we since our childhood have grown up seeing and reflecting back upon as a society.
Powered by an ensemble cast of superb actors, who certainly acts to their name, it a motion that is determined to grow over you as the series progresses and by the very end, you realize the gift it has bestowed on your cheeks - An everlasting smile that sure is to come when you catch yourself thinking about it:-)
Surely, a series that I dream of revisiting in the future to bask again in the same warmth I felt today after completion.
And if it helps - The background score is great too. Anoushka Shankar's sitar sets the undertone to the story and scenes and at times its sweetness and sharpness are enough to wrench your heart and fill your eyes with tears!!
