SonyLIV’s new eight-episode series “Raat Jawaan Hai,” directed by Sumeet Vyas and written by Khyati Anand-Puthran, offers a warm and relatable exploration of adult friendships and the challenges of parenthood. Set in the vibrant city of Mumbai, the show follows three childhood friends—Suman (Priya Bapat), Avinash (Barun Sobti), and Radhika (Anjali Anand)—as they navigate the ups and downs of marriage and becoming parents for the first time.
The series captures the essence of maintaining friendships amidst the chaos of adult life. In the first episode, titled “Film Dekhne Chalein?”, the trio tries to enjoy a simple night out. However, it humorously highlights how, after turning 30, even a movie outing becomes a complicated endeavor filled with unexpected challenges.
Suman is the thoughtful friend, often feeling out of place as she struggles to express her emotions. Priya Bapat portrays her with a gentle touch, making Suman relatable and real. Avinash, who has shifted from a tech career to family life, adds another layer to the story, showcasing the adjustments friends must make as they grow older.
Overall, “Raat Jawaan Hai” feels like a warm hug, reminding us of the importance of friendship and support during the transformative years of adulthood. It’s a delightful watch for anyone who’s ever juggled friendships and parenthood, making it a must-see series for those looking for a heartfelt and genuine portrayal of modern life.
