Les petites choses

This series will extract the hidden laughter and smile which you manage to always hold back and will relate to you on so many levels. I find it quite fascinating as director sits in the back seat and takes control of the story in a way he wants viewers to see. Yes there are the some usual clichés and also not so prospective acting that you expect but these both will surely make up of it by their ardor and you would find yourself hooked on to the series and of course it was their prerogative to get season 2 and to be honest I was surprised and shocked with the development from the two season and the inexplicable episodes. It isn't an intriguing thriller that will keep you guessing, no it is rather a story which will make you start reminiscing your good 'ol days. Watch it and you would experience an different feeling all together.

Little Things, back for its fourth season, is a sweet show about mostly sweet people living a very real and honest life for the most part. It's very rare that love stories on screen don't mean exaggerated larger-than-life love, fighting or sex, because real life love stories exist somewhere between living through the mundane, real love stories exist mostly after Raj has found and now gotten together with Simran.

In India, a lot of our stories are about how the boy gets the girl, but Little Things is about what happens when boy and girl have been together for years and actually seen real life together.

Little Things is perhaps one of the best Hindi shows for a lot of reasons. The universe is so lived in and real and it stays so true to its name that the problems and the true happiness do lie in the little things.

This inward looking mini plot in this season has all its major characters and actors returning, Dhruv Sehgal as Dhruv, Mithila Palkar as Kavya Kulkarni, Rishi Deshpande as Satish Kulkarni and Navni Parihar as Ila Kulkarni. Special shoutout to Mithila for having, as always, understood the soul of this character to the point of perfection. She breathes such real breath into middle-class Kavya from Nagpur, bright spunky and out to fulfil her ambitions, that it almost feels as if I'm just watching one of my friends live their everyday life. Dhruv Sehgal, too, is wonderful as the Finland-returned almost NRI in this season, his intellectual academic idealism infectious and relatable for anyone who expects more from their homeland than just the disappointing bare minimum.

This season has Dhruv, returned from Finland to work as a bright PhD project lead in Mumbai, and Kavya, onto exciting new corporate opportunities in Mumbai, reuniting in the beautiful Kerala and then making their way to Mumbai, where they live together. The story meanders through contrasting professional experiences the two have and yet, the very similarly mundane disappointments they face. Two young people, figuring out who they are and what they want not only from each other but also from life, as marriage, money and society loom in the background. Through Dhruv we learn the pain of ideals and through Kavya the pain of ambition, and through both, in this season, we learn a lot about not getting flustered in the weak moments but instead to see them, recognise them and somehow find the strength to keep going.

One is shown the beauty of not only their domestic world with craft but also the beauty of this world, our world in general, amidst all the chaos, a gentle reminder that if all is not well right now, eventually it will be. The music score is beautiful, reminiscent strongly of Tajdar Junaid in the right places and the song of a happy gondola ride in Italy in others, making its presence felt but not jarringly.

Besides the wonderful understated and almost muted writing and acting that is note worthy, the direction too is easy on the eyes.

As a note to end on, for its penultimate season, Little Things probably got it right, leaving enough to the imagination while answering almost all pertinent questions and Little Things will be missed by me, who has watched all the four seasons with equal parts a smile on my face and a warm fuzzy feeling in my heart.

Liked it because of simplicity in story. The story also looks authentic. No unnecessary drama.

Story and narration is really about little things. A person in relationship can relate very much. Most of sit-com are about comedy but this one is really close to real life. I really like the chemistry between two people and how they pull the screenplay. This is something no one should miss.

Little things! I'm using an exclamation mark because this show is not a show it's a feeling now. The first few minutes shook me to core and I was calling my friend to ensure what I'm seeing is not true, this lines can tell you what this show has became. In the world were the shows are getting dragged little things is a masterpiece where each and every storyline is made with love, logic and with perfect balance of the ingredients in it. There are alot of things you can relate with and there are alot of things that will make you say aww or that line went straight threw my lines. The best thing about this season was the dialogues all the dialogues like "No Matter what this stays", "I'm your home Dhruv", "I'm not people Dhruv", "Felt like hearing you" are the best examples of the great work done on writing dialogues. The story line is really good and you will learn alot of new things here like the end where things are showcased in a balanced way so everyone can relate and feel the emotions very well. Similarly parallel storylines in two episodes was a new thing I saw in this world. Kavya and Dhruv are couple goals now and undoubtedly this is a masterpiece and I hope this goes like this without any drags and at the end I can say no matter what this show should stay.
