Sekhar, fiercely devoted to his children's education, maintains a stern stance, believing in the transformative power of learning.

The narrative unravels as a poignant rollercoaster, delving into the spectrum of emotions that resonate within a middle-class family. It offers a compelling exploration of familial bonds, aspirations, and the intricate dynamics amidst the backdrop of a rapidly changing society. As each character navigates their unique journey, the series delicately interweaves hope, sacrifice, and the pursuit of a better tomorrow.

Reception

It recalls memories and experiences, putting middle-class life in front of the eyes. It portrays elements like middle-class parents who want to make their children useful. Their children are afraid of the future, and they are attracted to school at an age they don't know. This is a perfect web series to watch with family.
