Directed by Rohit Padaki it’s a must watch family drama that will tug at your heart strings. Rathnakara is an insurance agent living a rather boring life with his unapologetically loud but doting mother Saroja. His mother is on the quest to find a bride for her son, which only seems to be creating more problems. But things change soon enough and Rathnakara’s life turns ‘upside down.’ Accompanied by Mayuri, a journalist (played by Reba Monica John), he sets on a journey to rediscover his roots. A literal and metaphorical journey towards self discovery. Dhananjay and Umashree and the whole ensemble shine. You can watch it on Amazon Prime Video.
