"Dhadkan Zindaggi Kii"
There wouldn't have existed a better title than this!
This show is a surreal one, and I mean it. The story, the medical element, the angles between the charecters - Doctors, their professional - personal life , the patient - doctor equation, and more, the show has been such a journey!!
To understand the central theme, the show traces the struggles women , and even men face in a system that is men - centric. They have also traced the mostly neglected image of men and the consequences they face in the setup that boosts their ego than empathy. This, is just the tip. The story is layered in such a way that you will find a new perspective in every angle and Charecter. Moreover every Charecter is grey, has a backing. The actors are, Oh damn perfect!
The lead Charecter Deepika goes on a journey to pursue her very existence and her dream of becoming a Surgeon and thereafter a Trauma Surgeon , helming amongst the toughest patients in the Emergency Department . Faces issues with her junior team members, the administration system, society's judgements and complicated, layered relationships. Now before you judge. This very journey has been traced so organically that you would be amazed at the realistic approach the makers have opted to. The show gave a hope of a lot of ships between the charecters. You would feel that oh! Maybe Abhay and Deepika end up in a relationship, Nah maybe Vikrant and Deepika be a ship , and so on. And the story makes you realise that life is much more about love stories and fairy tale matchmaking. Every human being is a layer of emotions, experiences, and more. The show is about relationships, is about Determination and Will to learn, Defend, Observe, Accept and grow. Friendship is not inferior to marriage. Clinging to the dissection doesn't gives peace.
Is the story of that Heartbeat, which keeps you alive in the irregular crest of life and the very thing that may begin to haunt you when you begin to hear it in deserted silence.
The show is not for those who begin to presume the charecters as those of a love story, destined to be together in a romantic angle. All are unique and integral to the journey. Be it Abhay, Vikrant, Sia, Isha, Piroz, Wasim, Ali, Aditi and so more. And they are not ideal people, they are those who exist in the real world. They are not predictable.
There are many senstive topics touched by the show. Be it Drug Addiction, Extra Marital Affair, Gaslighting, Mental Health, Patriarchal expectations from genders, God Complex , Stalking, Manipulation, and more.
At the end I would say , if you will see the show without judgements or presumption, this content backed show will be a marvellous watch. The story would definitely amp up, and being warmth to your Dhadkan!
