Dil Bekaraar Review: Disney+Hotstar’s show is more than just a mix bag of love and comedy

Dil Bekaraar is an adaptation of Anuja Chauhan’s Those Pricey Thakur Girls. Starring Sahher Bambba and Akshay Oberoi, the web series premiered on November 26.

What makes a comedy-drama series a great entertainer? Charismatic leads, a joyful story and equal parts of passion and pathos. The idea is to have a joyous experience while savouring the colours of romance and comedy. When you start watching Dil Bekaraar, an official adaptation of Anuja Chauhan’s bestselling novel Those Pricey Thakur Girls, you do get that warmth and happiness.

Set in the 80s, the 10-episode series Dil Bekaraar revolves around day-to-day shenanigans of Justice LN Thakur (Raj Babbar), his wife Mamta (Poonam Dhillon) and their alphabetically named five daughters Anjini (Sukhmani Sadana), Binodini (Anjali Anand), Chandu, Debjani (Sahher Bambba) and Eshwari (Medha Shankar). The Thakur family resides in New Delhi's posh Hailey Road and is packed with unique characters just like any other Indian family.
