Due to the continuously declining TRPs of most Indian television shows, producers have been compelled to think outside the box and create content beyond the realm of typical family dramas. Since the early 2000s, channels and serial makers have heavily relied on saas bahu sagas, featuring grand mansions, large families, and their intricate relationships.
One show that breaks this trend is “Sapno Ki Chhalaang,” currently airing on Sony TV. Starring Megha Ray, the series revolves around the life and struggles of a girl who ventures far from her home. The character, Radhika, moves to Mumbai to pursue her dreams, facing numerous obstacles while leading a seemingly dreamy life. She conceals her pain from her mother, resonating with viewers who have experienced the challenges of starting anew in an unfamiliar place.
As a small-town girl settling alone in Mumbai, the city of dreams, Radhika encounters new challenges every day but remains determined to achieve her aspirations. The show’s screenplay thus far has excelled at maintaining a realistic approach without excessive melodrama. This relatable journey and struggle resonate with many young individuals, regardless of gender.
A major selling point of “Sapno Ki Chhalaang” is its departure from the typical soap opera tropes, avoiding unnecessary supporting characters and their subplots, which sets it apart from conventional Indian dramas. The director has made efforts to present the narrative in a realistic manner, effectively showcasing the genuine struggles faced by ambitious youths pursuing their dreams.
The show has already garnered a positive response from the audience, thanks to its intriguing plot and Megha Ray’s portrayal in the lead role. Megha, who gained fame through her previous projects like “Yeh Dil Ziddi Hai” and “Apna Time Aayega,” enjoys a dedicated fan following, further adding to the excitement surrounding “Sapno Ki Chhalaang.”
