In Agga Bai Sasubai, Abhijeet And Asawari’s Story Revives The Classic 70s Classic; Here’s How!

In the era of ‘exhausting binge-watching sessions,’ there are few TV shows which have managed not only to survive but also to keep their viewers hooked with an engaging storyline. Zee Marathi’s Agga Bai Sasubai is one of them which has proved to be a perfect blend of modern age storytelling and the elements of a classic yet norm-breaking romance with Abhijeet Raje and Asawari being one of the favourite on-screen couples.

Although the show’s taste differs from person to person, we tried to analyze this show from the perspective of a viewer obsessed with the spirit of the 70s Classic Romance. Remember the themes of Basu Chatterjee or Hrishikesh Mukherjee films? The stories of broken families, relationships, hardships of common people, etc morphed into a classic, mesmerizing the viewers. On similar lines, throughout Agga Bai Sasubai’s plot, we have experienced these bold themes with interesting twists.

Sweet and Tender Moments

Abhijeet and Asawari’s story has witnessed many ups and downs yet they both have managed to tackle down every problem. The utter satisfaction of their lives comes from the sweet bond they both share and these moments are one of the elements which make us remember the classic Hindi Romance. These heartwarming moments we witnessed in the recent episodes of Agga Bai Sasubai where the duo celebrated their birthday bash.

Cultural Significance

The 70s was the most influential era of Indian Cinema. I know this is a very unpopular opinion yet we all can agree on the fact that the 70s cinema is not bound to a specific generation and remains to be the favourite decade of all the movie-goers even today. Why is that so? These films were weaved with cultural significance, adding to the intensity of the plot. In a similar way, Abhijeet and Asawari’s story is rooted in reality and is seasoned with cultural themes though being mostly represented by “food;” yeah the new hotel subplot is the fresh and interesting part of the storyline.

The Family Void

The most important element of 70s cinema was represented by the family void i.e the generation gap which also emerges in Agga Bai Sasubai. While Abhijeet and Asawari’s romance is breaking stereotypes, the most unhappy person is Asawari’s son Soham who tries his best to tackle the couple down with his stratagems. The show emphasizes the gap these two generations share and at the same time, it balances the storyline with an important character Shubhra who acts as a cupid as well as a saviour for Abhijeet and Asawari. 

Hence, we believe that Agga Bai Sasubai is somehow on the similar lines of a 70s Classic and it’s another reason to love the show.
