in the universe of Kaatelal & Sons, misogyny isn’t a monster Garima and Susheela have to fight by being emotionally strong and brave. here, misogyny=stupidity, and our badass heroines go against it by being SMART. what a concept! on ITV!

the romances are secondary, the references are unexpected (Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, hindi masala heroes for Susheela etc.), the comedy is ACTUALLY funny, and we get to see women be intimidating in a way tellywood (or desi society) never lets them be, without being villainized for it.

1. A humble heroine with big dreams

.. and a filthy rich hero with an attitude problem

2. Heroine has a strange disorder where she keeps falling on the hero

3. Magically transport to a forest, where the couple plays a game of Survivor

4. Right when it heats up, introduce the “vamp” (aka hero’s superslutty girlfriend)

5. Couple has huge misunderstandings, which could be resolved with a 5 minute convo

6. In a strange turn of events, hero force-marries heroine 

7. There must be an absurdly long drawn-out wait until the consummation

9. Throw in an an evil mom/grandma/ex/random twat to separate them

9. When the couple finally gets down to bizness … bam! heroine becomes pregnant the very next day

10. Actor becomes popular and gets the hell outta the show

11. Director tries to pass off a random guy as the hero
