Reasons to watch Thode Door Thode Paas

Relatable themes

The series directly addresses the common problem faced by almost every family – being physically together but emotionally distant due to the constant usage of modern technology. Thode Door Thode Paas promises to remind viewers of the importance of focussing on genuine conversations with family members, which might help in strengthening their bonds.

Emotional journey with a dose of humour

The series promises to show the vulnerabilities of each family member and how they have been coping with those all by themselves, instead of sharing. Throughout the six months, the family is expected to discover new personality traits about every member, making it an emotional journey for them. But ‘real talk’ could also spark silly fights and put family members in uncomfortable situations, that is humorously explored in Thode Door Thode Paas.

Stellar cast

The series features Pankaj Kapur in the lead as the patriarch of the family who takes the initiative for this very test. Other family members include Kunal Roy Kapoor as his elder son, Mona Singh as his daughter-in-law, Gurpreet Siani as his younger son, Ayesha Kaduskar as his granddaughter and Sartaj Singh as his grandson.

Nostalgic and thought-provoking

The series offers a refreshing break from typical high-octane OTT content by focusing on the joys and the simplicity of light-hearted family dramas. As the family goes on a digital detox, we get a 1990s-era home setting that evokes nostalgia for a lifestyle when people did not require Wi-Fi or internet, and left their work outside the home in the evenings. Thode Door Thode Paas highlights how a technology pause can lead to meaningful conversations.
