Gone are the days when family audiences solely relied on television shows for their entertainment. Now, the popular television channel Zee5 has ventured into the genre once again with the web series ‘Maya Bazaar.’ Departing from films and serials, the series features artists known for their roles in movies as well as television serials. Directed by Gautami Challagulla, this web series focuses primarily on comedy and has captured viewers’ attention with its seven episodes released so far. Let’s take a closer look at what makes this web series so appealing.
Padmanabha Shastry (Narendra) and his wife Kusum (Jhansi) are residents of the ‘Maya Bazaar’ gated community in Hyderabad. Abhijit (Navdeep) is keen on building a villa in the community, which adds an interesting twist to the story. Meanwhile, the director Deepu (Raviraj) and his wife Viji (Aditi) reside in the community with their children. Gandhi (Ravivarma) and his wife Saritha (Hariteja) also live there, struggling with financial issues. Amidst the newlywed’s Vai Bhav (Raja) and Priyanka (Harike), Sudeep (Mia Chang), who appears to be a Telugu girl, resides in the same community, attempting to hide her true identity.
As the storyline unfolds, Abhijit faces an unfortunate incident in the Club House, creating a tense atmosphere with police intervention and interrogations. The series delves into the lives of the characters as they strive to adapt to their new homes, build new relationships, and deal with the challenges of life. With a touch of humour, ‘Maya Bazaar’ showcases the intricacies of the community’s dynamics, including conflicts, love, and unexpected twists.
Recently, the television channel ‘PopuPette’ aired the serial ‘Maya Bazaar,’ which effectively portrayed the diverse nature of human beings, their personalities, weaknesses, and management styles, making it a comedy-filled experience. While the serial successfully captured the essence of various characters and their lifestyles, it failed to maintain consistency in delivering comedy. However, the performances of Getup Srinu and Auto Ram Prasad provided comic relief. Though the concept of ‘Maya Bazaar’ falls within the boundaries of a comedy, it also presents some unnecessary tension, which dilutes the humour.
The first episode of the web series will be released soon, engaging the audience right from the start. With subsequent episodes following the same path, the audience can expect a combination of laughter, family drama, and unexpected situations. How will the characters Abhijit and Sudeep’s love story unfold? Will Vai Bhav and Sudheem’s secret relationship be revealed? All these elements will contribute to the excitement and humour throughout the series.
The ‘Maya Bazaar’ gated community boasts a vast array of senior artists, providing an excellent opportunity to explore the lives and idiosyncrasies of the residents. While the community sets the perfect backdrop, the characters fail to engage viewers as expected. The lack of a cohesive storyline and well-established character arcs hinders the narrative. Despite these shortcomings, the series manages to offer some entertaining moments and a glimpse into the lives of the characters.
The web series ‘Maya Bazaar’ is an enjoyable and light-hearted depiction of life in a gated community. With a talented cast, including renowned actors Narendra, Navdeep, Jhansi, Hariteja, Mia Chang, Ravivarma, Raja, Shivanarayana, and Miya Chang, the show promises to entertain. Although it falls short in terms of plot development and comedic consistency, it presents a pleasant diversion for those seeking light-hearted entertainment.
