The matchmaker Sima Taparia says , “marriage is a big fat industry,” in India. This series is followed around a young men and women willingly or unwillingly looking for a partner through the traditional Indian style of matchmaking called ‘Arranged Marriage’.
The Mumbai matchmaker Sima Taparia, who pompously claims to be an authority on setting up arranged marriages. She always armed with bio-datas.
Sima is shown meeting a wide range of NRI families in the US and a few affluent ones in Mumbai & Delhi as well. Here, the men and women spell out the criteria for their perspective partners. Sima then dips into her wide database and pulls out suitable profiles for her clients. She offers more options if the first one doesn’t work out.
All the while explaining the ‘hows’ and ‘whys’ of her matchmaking process. The show also ventures beyond familial house meetings to the dates between Sima’s matches, which are its biggest highpoints. While these dates are colourful and at times quite unpredictable, the show’s overall tonality seems quite scripted.
Sima’s constant prodding of her clients (especially women) and unabashed intrusion into their personal lives through unsolicited advice often feels staged and frankly, even annoying. Addressed as aunty, Sima symbolises that pesky relative, who is on a mission to get everyone married. Heck, she even goes to a face-reader to get her matchmaking skills validated.
Each episode follows a couple of stories, but many go missing quite abruptly and the narrative is quite scattered, so you won’t see many stories conclude. The emotions and situations are relatable like the compatibility issues, family pressures, societal prejudices and the age factor.
Indian Matchmaking’ encapsulates the clichés of the arranged marriage system in an entertaining and engaging way, but it also unabashedly celebrates the most regressive ideas and stays restricted to India’s elite upper-class and NRIs.
