Middle Class Melange
Brothers fighting over selling the ancestral house. Children complaining about parents not being able to send them abroad to study. Wives not being allowed to start their business. Rajesh Tailang has an invisible stoop in his shoulder and Sheeba Chadha plays his wife with the ease of an old comrade. The scene is Ghaziabad and their little family is threatened by all the vagaries that middle-class families are beset by. What will people say? How will they make ends meet? Will the children kill each other before they learn to share a room? Inspired by Gullak on SonyLIV this is a tale of everyman and every man who has ever tried to manage a household and its expenses. Tailang's disappointment when yet another day goes by without him attracting a winning case, Chadha's disgust when her children choose to fight rather than switch off the water pump. Chadha's nightie with a dupatta, Tailang's lawyer black and whites, and his children's battles. This is familiar territory but also fun.
