Homi Adajania's Saas Bahu aur Flamingo is an offbeat tale of four women involved in a shady trade
The women in Homi Adajania-directed Saas Bahu aur Flamingo (streaming on Disney+ Hotstar from May 5) are feisty, occasionally funny, and also happen to run a drug cartel. If the series seems like a call to 'smash the patriarchy' and one that tries to give a spin to the staid saas-bahu dynamic seen in TV soaps so far, for Adajania, the idea wasn't that. "It wasn't like 'Hey, let me make a statement about women.' For me, they are as powerful as other gender preferences," says Adajania. "But I knew it [saas-bahu shows] keeps regurgitating in the space of kitchen politics between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."
