Ishaaron Ishaaron Mein Review: ‘Feel Good Factor’ Constitutes DNA & Soul of This Show!

The best part about Ishaaron Ishaaron Mein is that it normalizes a specially-abled character…

Amidst the trend of supernatural and mythological shows, Sony TV is bringing shows with breakthrough content and social causes. Be it Patiala Babes, Yeh Un Dinon Ki Baat Hai or Ladies Special, all of them have a fresh concept and constitute light-hearted watch. Sony’s newly launched show Ishaaron Ishaaron Mein too is a refreshing slice-of-life tale starring Mudit Nayar in the lead role. The show revolves around the life of a young guy named Yogi who is deaf and mute, but lives life like a normal guy and looks at life with a positive attitude.

Here’s a small analysis of the show which may help you to decide what to expect from the show…

Plot:

The show starts with introducing us to Yogi’s family that consists of his mother, father, two elder brothers, their wives, a younger sister and grandparents. A regular middle-class family with characters as different as chalk and cheese is how the family is introduced to us. The scene starts with Yogi’s father calling out his name as he had asked him to buy a razor for him, but turns out he isn’t at home yet, which in turn makes him furious. He calls out everyone at home to find out where Yogi is and surprisingly everyone covers up for him, which clearly indicates how much he is loved.

Soon we are introduced to Yogi who is playing football in the ground. As soon as his father gets to know about it, he takes his scooter and heads towards him, screaming out his name but Yogi is busy figuring a way to score a goal and bam! The ball hits his father. The next scene takes us back to home where everyone is still trying to cover-up for him. This is when we get to know that Yogi has hearing impairity, but the good thing is that he leads a very normal life, he plays, works at his father’s electrical shop, goes to the market to buy things; everything that a normal guy does.

Later in the first episode, we are introduced to the fact that his mother is worried about Yogi’s marriage and Yogi too wants to get married.

Performance:

Mudit Nayar has done a fabulous job as the lead Yogesh aka Yogi. He is effortless and natural in the scenes. His sweet smile will win your heart. It is tough to play a deaf and mute guy, especially when you’re playing the lead character of the show and have no dialogues, but brownie points to Mudit for pulling it off very well.

Rest of the supporting cast including actors Swati Shah, Kiran Karmarkar, Sulbha Arya and Sudhir Pandey have done a great job too. They all look like a family and that’s the best thing about it.

Direction & Cinematography:

We love the way they introduced us to the family, it was very casual yet natural flow from one person to another and in the end, we are introduced to Yogi like a hero, who is playing football and emerges as a saviour who wins the match for his team. A well thought scene, we’d say.

Screenplay & Background Score:

The screenplay is tight and engaging. There are no awkward silences, despite the lead actor being deaf and mute. The makers have not used a lot of technical sign language, it is kept very normal and understandable for the audience. The usage of classic Bollywood songs like Saamne Ye Kaun Aaya Dil Mein Hui Hulchul goes really well with the theme of the show.

Highlights:

Yogi’s entry was definitely a high point in the show, it introduced a lot of things about him. Apart from his entry, the scene where he consoles his mother that he is the best man tugged our heartstrings.

Verdict:

If you want a break from all the weird and eccentric supernatural shows on television, Ishaaron Ishaaron Mein is a perfect diversion. The show has a certain feel-good factor in it and it is the kind of show you would want to watch with your family over dinner. The storyline cannot be judged right now as it is too early, but the plot line is definitely fresh and pleasant. They have not tried to gain sympathy for the character, in fact have normalized it and it’s a great change.
